Not harsh enough if compared to Obamas.. I don't see any lobbiest coming out of McCains ass! Plus why does Cindy look so "normal" .. she is a trophy wife after all, so she should be much more....
I mean they should go all the way not just half the way.

I prefer the David Horsey version
Although this is the best satire of the situation IMO  | |

in other news: Vanity Fair deeply aware of its status regarding New Yorker; responds rather then provokes 
in other, other news: Atlantic snivels, well we didn't even want to be invited
in other, other, other news: Salon acts like a 'tard
oh, magazines | |

I don't find this funny at all. It's cool to make fun of McCain's age through YouTube videos or as dinner jokes and conversation but to print something like this(which is nationwide) pushes it just as far as the one on Obama even though the one about Obama went over the heads of most Liberals and conservatives.

Oh my, what a laugh riot indeed. The only difference between this and the Obama situation is that I don't see the eldery getting up in arms over this like a certain reactionary demographic. | |

It was poking fun at the idiotic portrayals of Obama. | |
