1. My wife was insulted at the cliched lipstick "What Women Want" crap.
Probably all written and edited by men anyway.

The article about Palin on the Supreme Court is very caustic about how McCain(and politicians) pick people.

17. That morphed McCain is weird
Edited on Wed Sep-17-08 03:23 AM by fujiyama
It makes him look a bit like Michael Caine.

Palin/Cheney just looks plain scary just like the thought of her being so close to the presidency.

18. I can't imagine a Senate actually ratifying such an appointment
but then again, it seems like many want to see SP as VP, so who knows. And with a capitulating Dem Senate, hey, republicans could appoint someone with about as much experience as Palin and get her appointed!

13. McCain-Palin: hypocrites
McCain-Palin keeps accusing Obama of trying to be a celebrity
yet both McCain and Palin have both been on the covers of
magazines.  What do they call that.  They are such hypocrites.

20. Darn. I just subscribed because I've enjoyed their articles in the dentist's office...
Edited on Wed Sep-17-08 03:50 AM by Hekate
... and other waiting rooms. And I like Richard Wolfe on Olbermann.

Oh well, at least it was a discounted subscription.

22. I don't have a Newsweek subscription
But: Are you pissed off that the magazine took a sexist approach to the cover, or are you pissed off that Palin is the subject?
