#1 What's the big deal? This photograph is tastefully done. It is not p0rn. Do you suppose there might be a little catiness and envy going on in the donk corp and donk media?

#2 if she calles it sexist, why did she pose for it. Not to mention all the beauty contests she was entered in during her earlier years, are these sexist as well, I think describing her as an idiot twit (twot) would be falling short of the mark.

#3 This is Phase IV in the New Media Model for propping up an insupportable argument-- in this case, the MSM mantra that Obama is somehow other than a lightweight BS artist who's totally out of his depth and whose presidency is failing on every single domestic and f-p front.

Phase I: dismiss facts out of hand

Phase II: dispute facts

Phase III: accept facts but make excuses

Phase IV: abandon argument altogether, then change the subject. Palin! Levi!

#4 Pretty good judo.

Breach of contract, out of context, extra publicity, newspeak is doing her favors. Photographer contacted immediately after the Runner's World release tells me they thought this picture would be a some sort or ruiner, but its a great photo.

Makes a lot more sense than electing the biggest traitor/neo-fascist we can find.

#8 Like 2008 wasn't one long Obama wet dream courtesy of the mass media.

#9 Palen blew this one. This does not seem sexist to me. I think she's putting other photographers on notice not to breach their contract.

#10 The sexism wasn't in the photo - it's perfectly appropriate for the context it was taken for. I used to work with a runner who kept copies of that magazine in the company shitter for reading material. It's par for course.

The sexism is the re-contextualization by putting it on the cover of Newsweek along with a really fucking condescending first-name crack out of the Sound of Music.

How about a similar topless photo of Obama with a tag-line referring to him by his first name and punning off of a line from Huckleberry Finn?

#11 Don't leave us hanging, Mitch - give us the line. ;-p

#12 So, that's what 'teeny-tiny gym shorts' look like. More of them! (Or should that be less of them)? ;-)

#13 Those are gym shorts, but nothing like teeny-tiny.
