Under [the] Cover

Check out the cover of the July 21, 2008 issue of The New Yorker. It satirizes all the wildest right-wing paranoia about the Barak and Michelle Obama.
Of course, it has received an instantaneous response. When asked about the cover, Obama declined to comment and his spokesperson deemed it tasteless and offensive. Conservative website WorldNetDaily did a poll and found that 60% of responders said "the image isn't too far from the dangerous truth about the Obama family." Sheesh. Its satire, folks. It made me laugh out loud. And has anyone gotten past the cover and read the article? The artist, Barry Blitt, is standing by the cover and he should. Check out a couple of his previous covers. Ahmadinejad on the toilet made me laugh so hard I peed a little.
