Are the McCain-Palin people even aware that Tina Fey is making fun of them, all the time? Oh, wait … this is a magazine cover from 2004. Which still doesn’t make any sense. Why, in 2004, did the editors of this (obviously now defunct) magazine decide that the best illustration of the Kerry-Bush race was … a picture of a teevee comic who doesn’t portray either of them, and a guy who was soundly beaten for the GOP nomination four years earlier, in 2000? There is no answer, no “figuring it out.” Just enjoy the random strangeness of Tina Fey mocking McCain on a magazine newspaper-supplement cover four years ago. [Poynter Forums]

Why Are Tina Fey and McCain On This LIFE Cover?

They still make Life magazine? I need to get out and see the real America more often.
Walnuts forgot to tuck in his neck for that photo…
Yeah, but wasn’t this taken before Tina Fey became a communist?
This is pretty awesome.
I’ve heard that right after that cover was shot McCain offered Tina Fey the Vice Presidency if he won the nomination in 2008. Fey turned him down and McCain responded: “Why you little… I’ll show you. I’ll find someone just as good, or… heck, better!”
WALNUTS! looks fat in that suit.
I LIKE TURTLES!
If Palin could wear a pair of jeans like that, I’d probably vote for Walnuts.
What is that magazine? I have never seen it on the internet, ever.
Wait, what does that say in the corner? Can Manny Ramirez even vote in the real America? Quick! somebody call Lou Dobbs!!!
I’m still holding out for the Manny Ramirez/Andre 3000 ticket.
“It’s just Economy being Economy.”
so THATS where he got his campaign strategy.
Hey, there’s a blue screen in the background.
They were probably never in the same room at the same time. Which explains why they are both smiling.
The possibilities are endless.
[re=143153]NoWireHangers[/re]: That’s what I was thinking. Looks like he’s got a little spare tire…so he really is just like Joe Sixpack/plumber/mortician/dead animal picker upper.
That’s actually Patty Hearst and Mike Love.
The magazine if defunct for being overly prescient — printing stories that no one knew would be news until many years later.
On top of everything else, Sweet Polly Moosebanger’s a Maiden fan:

He’s been hot for Tina ever since, and Sarah is just a poor stand-in for the real thing. Reminds me of my first marriage.
Ahh! I never got my “I AM…THE…” signs e-mailed to me, but I was apparently added to the McCain/Palin e-mail blast list.
I removed myself but told them I want my damn signs.
It’s hilarious that this has taken so long to be remembered (or noticed).
Ha ha. “Life” stinks.
…is it me, or is WALNUTS! sticking his hand up his ass?!
Queer things happen in this world. That is one thing I have learned.–Wittgenstein
[re=143187]Blue Line[/re]: yeah i didnt get mine either and i made about 60
I Am Constipated from THe CHeese
I love life cereal… Is Walnuts the new Mikey?

Looking at Tina I am feeling fat in my pants.
[re=143190]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Yeah, he does that when his elderly bits tingle in delight. Mavericks can do those sort of things.
“Fashion’s Hottest Trend — The Pancho”
“Upstanding Citizen Manny Ramirez”
I have no idea how this magazine failed.
Clearly, the art director for the cover was some sort of Haruspex, and saw the future in a sheep’s liver.
[re=143161]shortsshortsshorts[/re]: For real, and wtf is this magazine about anyway? “Life” sounds like something straightforwardly gay, unless it is about the cereal or something, which rules.
BTW, this cover of LIFE will be much funnier when McCain is DEAD.
This marks the first time I’ve ever even thought the word “Life” while looking at McCain’s wrinkled old mug.
Is that… real? I mean, a real cover? From real 2004?
He should be on the cover of Archeology magazine.
[re=143173]Texan Bulldoggette[/re]: I bet he chose the pinstripes because they’re “slimming”. Poor WALNUTS!
Look at the position of Walnuts nut area and Tina’s Bush Tax Cu%ts area.
McCain is driven by a lower force.
Why is it that Tina Fey turns me on more and more every day, while Sarah Palin becomes more and more repugnant?
Now that’s just spooky.
Thus Life imitates Art.
Doesn’t anyone read Rolling Stone? That image of Tina Fey was part of the cover illustration for the comedy issue.
I must confess, Tina Fey is hot and has a tremendous ass!
Almost as creepy as that dead bear story yesterday.
i like the little easter egg you planted in the img. how very ‘Parallax View’. you should be expecting a call from the secret service about… brrrrring!
[re=143243]Red Headed StepChild[/re]: Amen. Tina Fey is damned sexy. You’d think that Palin would get hotness points just based on similarities, but every time I see her my man parts try to climb back inside me.
That might have been too much information. Sorry.
[re=143209]facehead[/re]: EVERYTHING will be funnier when McFail is dead.
I forget, is it the Bilderbergers or the Jews that own Life?
Why didn’t she just strangle him when she had the chance?
[re=143331]Lionel Hutz Esq.[/re]: The Jews ARE the Bilderbergers. Myrna and Levi Bilderberger, they live in Boca.
[re=143246]TGY[/re]: hahahahah.
This is like that episode of Laugh-In where they did a “News from 20 Years in the Future” bit, mentioning President Ronald Reagan, which apparently was funny in 1968.
[re=143370]Lazy Media[/re]: Oh! They are a lovely couple. Although I hear she cheats at mah jong.
