A Sarah Palin Day treat...


The latest edition of Newsweek

Newsweek caused a stir as the latest cover for the magazine was revealed featuring Palin from a photoshoot she did for Runners World Magazine. In a facebook tirade, Palin blasted the cover as sexist:

"The choice of photo for the cover of this week's Newsweek is unfortunate. (...) The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now. If anyone can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw attention -- even if out of context."

Being a photo from a magazine that has already been printed, how is it sexist? Perhaps Palin is upset for being painted as a sell-out with no real place in politics so she called it sexist to draw attention away from that fact.The word she should have used to describe the cover is "true". What do you think?
