My eyes!! (or Time's cover of Sarah Palin)

[anart]

July 20th Time Magazine US cover is:

While I did not have time to read the entire article, I skimmed it and it has several other shots of Palin in various casual/flattering/horrifying poses and discusses her 'outsider politics', her strong charisma and following and the fact that a 2012 White House bid is anybody's guess. It instantly brought to mind the several Time covers of another charismatic, psychopathic leader who no one took seriously in the beginning:

At first blush, the article came across as fawning, which considering it's Time Magazine is not at all surprising. They also had an article on airliner black boxes - what they are and how they work, in which they mentioned that the black box in flight 93 documented the "heroic effort of the passengers to overpower the highjackers".... - from my very brief perusal of the magazine, it's lies cover to cover -- quite creepy to actually delve into.

Here's the link to Time's site featuring July 20th... http://www.time.com/time/magazine/0,9263,7601090720,00.html

Oh - here is the article - though it's missing a LOT of the pictures of her that were in the print version... http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1909442-1,00.html

Oh, c'mon! What a staged picture of her - one of her hands isn't even in her pocket (perhaps she was going to salute!) and she has her sandals and 'Wal Mart' slacks on. She's just 'one of the regular folk'... Pretty much sums up what group of folks they are going after.

I am a bit surprised the header isn't 'The Maverick' instead of 'The Renegade'.

From the dictionary:

renegade:

–noun 1. a person who deserts a party or cause for another. 2. an apostate from a religious faith.

–adjective 3. of or like a renegade; traitorous.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
maverick:

noun - a lone dissenter, as an intellectual, an artist, or a politician, who takes an independent stand apart from his or her associates.
:D

Oh, yeah, the pictures in the article were very much a 'photo shoot' - like for a model or celebrity, not real pictures. There was one that was really close up on her face that she probably thought made her look pretty, but it really just came off as too much makeup and a really 'hard' look

True - wonder if the editor slipped one by her on that - I doubt she knows the difference and seriously doubt that any of her followers do either - they just see 'pretty folksy Sarah fighting god's battle' --- SCARY.

It looks like she's trying to spot Russia... ... or that other 'country'...Africa!

 

[Gimpy]

I wonder if there is a picture the photographer took *after* someone pushed her off the pier into the water?? No? That would be worth buying a Time's rag to see.

At first blush, the article came across as fawning, which considering it's Time Magazine is not at all surprising.

Time magazine is run by the creepy Luce family. The late Leila Hadley Luce, widow of Time scion Henry "Hank" Luce III, was allegedly a deviant like many elite types. Her two daughters...and granddaughter...accused her of sexual abuse. Not only did Leila supposedly have sexual relations with her offspring, she was said to have also offered them up to her late husband and business associates. One business associate...a reporter for Time magazine...refused an offer in 1967 when one daughter was only 13-years-old. He later recounted the story, backing-up some of the daughter's claims.

Here's her obit from February 2009:

Perhaps she's ready to 'slap leather'? :)

Or i guess it is one of these familiar moments of awkwardness for Sarah when she does not have her shotgun in her hands...
Plus, i heard a rumour that Russians may have grown wings and are able to fly all over the borders, right up to Sarah's house.
A mother in the wilderness of Alaska can never rest her guard!
;D

Just adding to the mix. Dogs and children are popular photo-props :)
