Palin slams 'sexist' Newsweek cover

[Moby]

This lady cracks me up. She poses for picture where she receives money. Than complains that it's sexist to use the photo just a few months later. This is almost as silly as the beauty queen complaining about Levi cashing in for posing for a magazine :lmao2:

Palin - Jindal 2012 :thumbsup: :lmao2:

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2009/11/17/palin-slams-sexist-newsweek-cover/?=lolwhut
(CNN) - Sarah Palin's image is everywhere as she launches a highly-anticipated book tour this week, but the former Alaska governor is unhappy with at least one media organization's depiction of her.

Palin took aim at Newsweek's eye-catching cover this week that shows the former vice presidential candidate in her running outfit - an image that was apparently lifted from a Runner's World photo shoot months ago. Writing on her Facebook page Monday night, Palin said the depiction is flat out "sexist, and oh-so-expected."

"The choice of photo for the cover of this week's Newsweek is unfortunate. When it comes to Sarah Palin, this 'news' magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant," Palin wrote. "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," Palin also said.

The photo is accompanied by text that states "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Sarah? She's bad news for the GOP - and for everybody else too."

Palin has held back few punches at the media in the initial stages of her publicity tour. The former governor slammed the Associated Press for its recent fact check that took issue with several of the memoir's contentions and, in her Oprah appearance that aired Monday, Palin slammed the way the media treated her family during the campaign.

The Alaska Republican also doesn't hold back in her book, writing at one point, "I had been out of journalism for a long time, and it was pretty obvious the rules had changed. I felt sick about the depths to which some in the press had apparently sunk, not because it was unfair to me and John, but because it was unfair to the American electorate."

UPDATE: Newsweek editor Jon Meacham is defending the image the magazine chose for its cover.

"We chose the most interesting image available to us to illustrate the theme of the cover, which is what we always try to do," he told CNN Tuesday. "We apply the same test to photographs of any public figure, male or female: does the image convey what we are saying? That is a gender-neutral standard."

The curtain is being pulled back on the moonbat media this week. Palin's been on Oprah and aced it and she's on Barbara Walters Friday. We know the whole story about the pug-faced partisan hack on CBS and the rest of the hit pieces.

Be looking for Palin to make a come-back after these interviews.

Never take personal responsibility for anything. :thumbsup:

Blame everyone except yourself.

You make money striking a sexy pose. Complain that it's sexist when someone uses it.

You don't know squat about politics, blame the person asking you basic questions.

You want to leave your state in financial disaster, quit.

see it's like you don't see how sarah has some points

she made a cover for runnersworld not newsweek (it's not like she's masturbating for her boyfriends in 9 different tapes)
she was trying to promoting running.

newsweek should have taken their own picture of her or one from something political of hers for their news magazine.

dave letterman publically apologized for his sex joke with a picture of her 14 year old daughter.

i'm not spinning these facts.

and your media was brutal to her pregnant 17 year old.

I don't think he had a picture if you have the clip post it . I'm pretty sure he just made a joke and it only made sense if he was talking about 17 or 18 year old. Over a year later and she's still whining about Couric who isn't exactly an investigative journalist it was softball questions from a talk show host for the most part.

[foxbaron]

I rather like her in her running outfit and it won't bother me a bit if she wears to her inaguration as President. Boy would that piss off the fashion police.

he cracked a sarah and daughter at a baseball game sex joke when sarah and 14 year old willow were at a current baseball game.

that's why he apologized.

i have no argument for couric ~ sarah was unprepared and has no one to blame but herself.

What I was getting at was he did think it was about the 18 year old not the 14 year old so their was no picture. And his apology (if you think he was being honest) made my point.

he apologized because he was in the wrong.

a-rod and sex with a 14 yr old wasn't funny when interpreted with real life events.

You are quite obviously not a very smart person .. which is why I don't waste much time talking to you .. but "Romney/Palin" requires attention. Anyone dumb enough to suggest that needs a hug .. and a brain.

are you saying that he is not responsible for words he spoke as a joke? that because he assumed wrong about the daughter who was actually at the baseball game, he is not responsible for checking the facts before he cracked a 14 year old fucking a-rod joke?

why is it that dave seemed to understand he fucked up and took steps to correct it by apologizing for it yet so many are stuck on defending him?

it's like y'all want to demonize the palins and let stuff slide. if letterman cracked a sex joke about say sasha obama or if time magizine put obama on the cover in a speedo and asked, how to stop him from drowning ~ this conversation would be quite a bit different.

by allowing the press and the entertainment industry to demonize people you don't like then suck it up when they go after those you do like. or be consistent and keep the press in line.

believe it or not but i'm not a palin fan but it is exactly this type of behaviour that makes her dangerous (as in giving her a shot in the next election) she has lied about so many things to pick on yet you'd rather add to her supporters by trying to make her look petty when in fact i doubt their is a mother alive that would enjoy their 14 year old girl being the butt of a sex joke.

Her "defending like a mother" is your interpretation good sister, not the interpretation of most Americans, nor most mothers.

Palin was doing what Palin does .. blaming everyone and everything else for her boundless problems. She is a sympathy hound. An absolute zero that deines America as a stupid nation.

Romney-Palin 2012I saw clips of the Walters interview.

One question:
WALTERS : " do you support expansion of the Israeli sttlements?"

PALIN " Yes they have a right to expand, as there will be more Israeli's moving there?"

Huh?
Is there some great jewish migration I don't know about?

Neither Walters or Palin mentioned the difference between " natural expansion"
( basically filling in the existing settlement with schools, roads, etc)

or NEW expansion - bulldozing and starting new locations.

Palin should have been studying up instead of writing books.
She's still clueless.

[Parade Rain]

He didn't crack a "14 year old fucking a-rod joke". He said Palin's DAUGHTER - she has 3 daughters - he meant the unwed mother, and EVERYONE knows that. Palin and her camp spun it to mean the 14 year old and no, I don't think comedians need to be sure they know all the details about the subjects they're skewering for fun.

why is it that dave seemed to understand he fucked up and took steps to correct it by apologizing for it yet so many are stuck on defending him?

Because DAVE has to answer to the masters at CBS.

The 14-year old was at the game, not Bristol. If he is going to go after children, he should be sure of whom he is targeting because this appeared to be the 14 year old. And, I bet that's who he really meant and simply didn't expect the backlash. Come on. Letterman isn't that clueless to not know who was with Palin at the game.

Letterman knew who was there, he just expected it to be dismissed as a "cutesy" remark that would fly under the radar and gushed over by the PDS patients, his fanbase.

Obviously, that wasn't the case.
