2. It’s absolutely hilarious… If someone thinks the cover is negative, they really don’t understand the New Yorker.

   As to New York not really being part of America, here is one of the funniest (and famous) New Yorker covers from the brilliant Saul Steinberg….

   BTW: Some in Chicago are encouraging “some” in Obama’s campaign to “lighten up”. It isn’t good politics to have too thin a skin. “Da folks” know every pol is going to get skewered. If Barack shows indignation about stuff like this, the question will be asked, “What happens if the nation is really offended? How can he handle real adversity?”

   Right move here, have Barack laugh “with” the cartoon.
