New Yorker Cover Doesn’t Respect Sarah Palin’s Foreign Policy Experience, Either

She can see Russia from her house!
Ha ha, here is the latest New Yorker cover, which proves Sarah Palin is an idiot. Tina Fey should get royalties. Speaking of New Yorkers, did you people know you can get your picture taken with Palin and some fake dead thing? [New Yorker]

    what’s with all the books?

  2. This is a play on Saul Steinberg’s cover from the 70’s

  3. YOU CANT SEE USSR FROM ILLINOIS!!1!1

  4. Sussemilch says at 12:36 pm, September 29th, 2008

    She’s ready to stab those Russkies with her #2 pencil.

  5. CrunchyKnee says at 12:38 pm, September 29th, 2008

    wilmawonker: Plus all them fancy writin’ instruments.

  6. Serolf Divad says at 12:40 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Hey, stop being so sexist. Haven’t you heard? Sarah Palin went down to teh UN a few days ago and spent the afternoon shaking hands with a bunch of world leaders, so she’s got tons of foreign policy experience, now.

  7. Texan Bulldoggette says at 12:40 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Where are the pictures of dead wolves, clubbed seals & dying polar bears? And why is the ground so verdant looking??

  8. spencer: SHHHH! They will find out you are Elite!

  9. somelegalbitch says at 12:42 pm, September 29th, 2008

    YES! I have a picture of myself with that Palin stuffed moose set up. Kind of wish I had thought to send that tip in myself…

  10. interesting that her power suit is the same colour as Putin’s looming socialist scalp. maybe Palin is the Anti-Christ.

  11. erymanthian bore says at 12:44 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Do not mock her! If you look carefully just over the ‘u’ in Roosia, you kin see Pootin rearin his ugly head. Not to mention the FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE APOCAWITCH!

  12. JadedDIssonance says at 12:45 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Big Ears seem to be the political cartoon Shmear of choice for the past 8 years…

  13. Anchorage had another HUGE rally this weekend… Hold Sarah Palin Accountable rally, pics here: http://laurainak.blogspot.com

  14. Noodle Salad says at 12:47 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Obv. fake. Where is Putin’s rearing head?

  15. AngryBlakGuy says at 12:47 pm, September 29th, 2008

    …I guess that is the reason why she doesn’t care if all the glaciers melt, because they obscure her view of Russia.

  16. american mutt says at 12:48 pm, September 29th, 2008

    The image is dead!

  17. If it weren’t for brave Alaskans like Gov. Palin those damn Russkies you be swarming all over the place. The Bering Straight must be guarded 24 hours a day with hunting rifles and sled dogs lest the red menace overwhelm us. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom!

  18. Hedley Lamar says at 12:50 pm, September 29th, 2008

    I call BS. She never said you needed binoculars.

  19. JadedDIssonance: no, political cartoonists are just notoriously bad at drawing ears.

    Serolf Divad: Palin’s secret power is learning by Osmosis. Not only does she know all about foreign policy, she also knows where Osama Bin Laden is hiding and will be hauling in his bloody carcass as a late October surprise, just in time to sweep them into office (and me into Brasil).

  20. ManchuCandidate says at 12:51 pm, September 29th, 2008

  21. edgydrifter says at 12:51 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Gazing from the Governor’s Double-Wide, she can see Russia, Jesusland, and Other.

  22. She’s a Peeping Palin.

  23. slappypaddy says at 12:55 pm, September 29th, 2008

  24. Hedley Lamar says at 12:56 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Can Putin see the retarded baby from the Kremlin?

  25. CivicHoliday says at 12:56 pm, September 29th, 2008
  26. Sarah Palin is always ready, always on call, to defend our nation in case Putin comes over the hill with a knife in his teeth and ill intentions towards America. That’s why they put her on the fourth floor, so she has a clear sight line for her sniper rifle…..to keep us safe for another day.

    http://thesebastards.blogspot.com/

  27. Why does she stop at Russia? Palin probably thinks the Earth is flat, so shouldn’t she be bragging about being able to see every single nation in the entire world?

  28. shortsshortsshorts says at 12:59 pm, September 29th, 2008
  29. american mutt says at 1:01 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Ah, i couldn’t see that picture in the new Google Chrome for some reason. Now I can see it.

  30. “I Can See Russia from Alaska (When I Look in Your Eyes)” music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM1inuK-7lo

  31. Varchar: I’m not so sure she understands what the Earth being flat or round would have to do with how far she can see.

  32. Artwork by Eric Anderson?

  33. Sarah Palin is the All-American Girl.

    Brain like an Alabama preacher, attitude of a Texas oil millionaire, voice like a Wisconsin cattle farmer, personal style of a New Jersey mall mom

  34. NoWireHangers says at 1:08 pm, September 29th, 2008

    God, Thursday is going to be FUCKING AWESOME. We might die of liver failure.

  35. bhosp: According to Einstein, if she got a big enough pair of binoculars, she could see far enough out of her window to glimpse Jesus’ cave man army riding dinosaurs.

  36. wilmawonker says at 1:09 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Lets bling this out!

  37. Am I the only one who can’t see the picture of the photo? No biggy, but maybe the photo went down the wrong tube?

  38. Special Agent Jack Mehoff says at 1:09 pm, September 29th, 2008

    That is the lousiest rendering of the interior of a methlab Iv’e EVER seen. Who pays these fucking people?

  39. wilmawonker says at 1:09 pm, September 29th, 2008
  40. Serolf Divad: she even talked to a JEW (WITH NO PRE-CONDITIONS!!!)!!!

  41. Mr. Dick Sprinkles says at 1:11 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Not blingee’d, not funny.

  42. wilmawonker: She’s gotta skim ‘em afore she bans ‘em.

  43. Not sure that I want to be photographed standing near a sleeping bag filled with stinking old man parts. Anyway, Cindy eventually will wonder where she misplaced him and Palin will then have to give him back.

  44. facehead: To be fair, she asked him to do her taxes

  45. This is really mean because Palin only reads cartoons.

  46. slappypaddy says at 1:13 pm, September 29th, 2008

    hie, back too soon, neglectin my dooties… we’re all havin a wunnerful time on this line, but i jess looked out my window an’ i didn’t see russia, no sir, an’ i didn see sarah, bless her heart, but i saw what looked like a worldwide stock markets meltdown. anybody else seein that, er izz it jess me?

  47. BrutallyHonestBabes says at 1:15 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Is the dead thing the Montauk Monster? Because I’d like to have a picture with that thing. How do you tell Palin and the MM apart? Lipstick, of course!

  48. Serolf Divad: Shaking hands, ewww, I hope she had some Purell in her purse. Oh ya, some of those people don’t wash ya know!

  49. Ah, I got it. The problem is that Palin can see the local dairy queen from her window, and she mistook it for the Kremlin.

  50. shortsshortsshorts says at 1:17 pm, September 29th, 2008

    WINNING DEBATE STRATEGY FOR MOOSILINI:
    When Biden talks, respond with “He looked very accurate, but I didn’t have the sound on, so I have no idea what he just said.”

  51. facehead: hahahah

  52. wilmawonker: well done.

  53. When the Russkie nukes come zooming out of the clouds straight at me, I will curse Sarah Palin with my final breath for being a gigantic moron who rose to prominence through needlessly egging on a friendly ally with cocky, passive-aggressive talk

  54. springfield_meltdown says at 1:20 pm, September 29th, 2008

    mattbolt: To be fair, Palin’s accent is much more intolerable than that of someone from Wisconsin or Minnesota. It is such an exaggerated version of the real accent that it sounds like a mockery of it and makes the natives of those states wince.
    facehead: Do you think she had ever met a Muslim before take your daughter to the UN day?

  55. whatever_dc says at 1:23 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Norbert: you know, as an actual antichrist, i really really resent being compared to sarah palin. thank you.

  56. wilmawonker says at 1:24 pm, September 29th, 2008

    FritzSL: that was loverly. thanks for the song.

  57. wilmawonker: That’s the full “Left Behind” series, and some tranny porno.

  58. facehead: But did she blink? If she blinked, she’s her only reason to live run for office.

  59. The New Yorker pokes fun at Palin for meeting with leaders last week but BHO didn’t meet one until his useless trip to Europe. Who the hell campaigns in Europe when running for President anyway. Loser.

  60. SayItWithWookies says at 1:41 pm, September 29th, 2008

    They say that the Russians are so cold and distant
    But Diomedes are a girl’s best friend.
    Geography’s nice but it won’t get the ladies
    Out of church to vote
    For the mean old goat.
    Media elites will apply the heats
    When you say Pakistan’s just ’round the bend –
    But I’ve got a trump card
    Becuase it’s in my back yard
    Diomedes are a girl’s best friend.

    Kamchatka! Vladivostok!
    Talk to me Sean Hannity, tell me all about it.

    There may be a day when they throw softball questions
    That are awful nice –
    But get the bailout right
    Or else no dice.

    McCain is my guy and my profile is high
    And if I’m dumb I can always pretend –
    But when I open my mouth and things start to go south –
    Diomedes are a girl’s best friend.

  61. Carrie_Okie says at 1:49 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Man, here’s a great idea. I want to see her go back in time and debate Dan Quayle.

  62. two_kettle says at 2:14 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Yay! Made it…

    Thanks for posting brilliant stuff today – saving day!

    “`Tis a miracle to me that people don ´t understeeaand that I have a great deal of experience in, ah… foreign policy. See, we have a boarder to this other country, what ´s-it-called, ah,… Ceeanada. And there is Russia and I mean, hey! If I could spit this close!!!”

    Makes me feel giddy when I think that in actual fact, Sarah Louise Heathen-Whaleskin might be President one day.

    … my, my…

  63. marjon: Who campaigns in Europe when running for President? Why, John McCain of course, who travelled to London and Paris earlier this year as part of his campaign - in order to schmooze with local leaders and raise some money from ex-pats. What a loser!

  64. Cal Umney says at 3:05 pm, September 29th, 2008

    I keep waiting for some science geek to point out that you need to be at least 100 meters high to see a point on the horizon approximately 28 miles away.

    Another fascist/empty assertion by Mooselini.

  65. slavojzizek says at 3:15 pm, September 29th, 2008

    If I understand New Yorker cover humor correctly, this is actually mocking people who think Sarah Palin is ignorant.

  66. mrtrailsafety says at 5:11 pm, September 29th, 2008

    “Red Dawn 2″….hmmm, or after St Paul, is it “Red Don 2″?

  67. SisterTruth says at 6:35 pm, September 29th, 2008

    Sorry, this just isn’t mean enough by a long shot. I’m a black woman who went into melanin shock - that’s right my caramel brown face went marshmallow - when I saw the New Yorker cover for Barack Obama. They must do much better than this if they are going to even come close to how offensive the New Yorker cover was. This woman should have been in a bathing suit with a sash and had fifteen children running around her in order for this to get in the neighborhood of how nasty the other New Yorker cover was. Why do liberals always turn out to be the most racially disappointing???!!!

  68. SisterTruth says at 6:41 pm, September 29th, 2008

    marjon: You are making just as much sense as your leader, Sarah Palin. NONE.

  69. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 7:51 pm, September 29th, 2008

    The New Yorker covers being relevant aren’t the only things reminding me that these days look a lot like the Depression.

  70. Where are the hockey rinks?
