npr.org — This week's New Yorker magazine shows a cartoon of Sen. Barack Obama dressed like Osama bin Laden, and his wife, Michelle, donning military gear. Both are sharing a fist-bump in the Oval Office. New Yorker editor David Remnick defends the cover.

Hey, I know, why don't I draw a cartoon of your black mother having sex with Osama bin Laden while snorting coke off of a priest's dead body and put it on the cover of a popular magazine.Come on, it's satirical!

Well, that wouldn't make sense to me.

The truth is that this cartoon is exactly how uninformed Americans think about Obama.

You're correct. Whining that the mean ol' media made fun of your candidate is absolutely within your rights. And it's within mine to point out that you're posting whimpers that expose you as having no sense of humor.

Show me an example of Hillary fans --or McCain fans, or Kucinich fans or even the humorless Ron Paul fans!-- going apes**t over a goddamn editorial cartoon, and you'll have a point.I won't hold my breath, because IT DIDN'T HAPPEN.

Did the New Yorker ever run an editorial cartoon, one in questionable taste (or at all) on their cover, of any of the above mentioned candidates and their spouses? Anything comparable at all? If not then your analogy doesn't hold water.
