Covering Barack: The New Yorker Vets the President-Elect



Barry Blitt, the cartoonist responsible for the New Yorker's controversial terrorist fist-jabbing cover, among others, returns this week to "vet" Barack Obama. Of course this time around "Vetting" refers to the all important decision of picking a "first" puppy — thus far we know they want a mutt, but that it needs to be hypoallergenic and won't be a girly dog. The cover may not be all that far off the mark, actually, turns out the original meaning of the word "vetting" was to to "submit an animal to examination by a veterinarian."

2. Who's peeping in the door from the left?

The one on the right is clearly Axe but who's on the left? It looks like Rahmy but he's too tall. Must be Volker. lol

Anyway, love that they've got him examining a Beagle .... which is the breed (if it must be a breed) that gets MY vote.

3. Biden

4. That is NOT the Silver Fox!!!!

Well, I'm sure it's SUPPOSED to be ... but that in no way captures his overall stunningness. lol

As if the first cover wasn't enough proof that this man should be fired! :)

5. Good Lord, they made David Axelrod look like Hitler

With the New Yorker, I'm not whether that unintentional or not.
