Can anyone tell me what this week's Major Distraction is?

[endarkenment]

just wondering....

[MannyGoldstein]

1. The Scurrilous New Yorker Cover

The one that proves the Obamas are simply terrorists, which effectively ends Obama's candidacy once America's rednecks get their issue of The New Yorker.

[mnhtnbb]

3. The MSM would rather talk about that than whether GWB should be tried for murder.

[CJCRANE]

8. The next New Yorker cover

should feature a cartoon of McCain riding in a fighter plane labeled "The Economy".

[MannyGoldstein]

9. Riding It Into the Ground...

I like it!

Or perhaps have McCain sitting on an atomic bomb labeled "The Economy" as it falls to Earth, a la Slim Pickens.

12. Who knew rednecks read The New Yorker?

Who knew rednecks could read at all? :shrug:

[endarkenment]

13. hardly anybody reads the new yorker

Something like 1,000,000 subscribers, and perhaps 10% of those actually read the magazine.

[AndyA]

14. Well, it looks so nice on the coffee table...

;)

[blondeatlast]

2. Something about a magazine and the m$m tripping all over each other trying to decide

if they "get it" or are horrified about it.

Distraction, yes, but it's gonna get good to see the likes ot Joe Scar and Tweety handle it...

4. Meanwhile

McCain will be saying stupid things like I hate Social Security, Poor people should suck it up, and damn it you b*tch I wanted frosted bran flakes not the regular all week and no one will ever hear about it.

[CJCRANE]

5. Quick! Someone draw a cartoon of Cindy McCain

selling a million shares in Anheuser-Busch

and stick it on the front cover of the New Yorker.

[endarkenment]

6. indeed - how much is she making from that deal?

[CJCRANE]

19. Probably a million times more

than I make in a day!

[bigwillq]

7. DU will give more play

to the NY cover than the MSM will. The MSM will cover the story for a few days and then drop it because something more interesting will happen. Right now, there isn't too much going on with McCain-Obama so they're going with this story for a bit. It will be a footnote by next month.

But DU will go on, and on, and on, and on, and on.....

[Youphemism]

I missed the distraction. I thought I heard something and looked the other way. /nt

[CTyankee]

15. Damn! I thought it would be Bernie Mac's comedy routine.

oh well, silly me...

[Sheets of Easter]

16. Dog Fancy recently wrote an Obama hit piece.

[racaulk]

17. Covergate

[krispos42]

18. Oy vey...

How about what ISN'T? It'd be a shorter list...

[Xenocrates]

20. The Nontroversy..

[SwampG8r]
