Recently I wrote a post about the New Yorker's controversial cover concerning Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. Now Vanity Fair has come out with its own cover spoofing presumptive Republican nominee John Mccain and his wife Cindy. In my opinion, the Vanity Fair cover does nothing to heighten the "fears" that the Democratic side have been displaying during the campaign season because in all actuality there are no real fears when it comes to John Mccain. Is Mccain old as dust? Yes. Is Mccain's wife a former pill popper with zero fashion sense? Yes. Does Mccain's policies reflect those of our current lame duck president (look up this term later)? Yes. Vanity Fair's try at highlightening the "fear tactics" of the Left Wing, only make the flaws of the Right Wing's man more obvious to the masses. Furthermore, since these character flaws of McCain and his wife are realities, instead of Right Wing conspiracy theories, the cover of Vanity Fair does achieve its intention of satirizing the presumptive Republican nominee.
Well what are your thoughts on the two pictures?????
