With Friends Like These

This is not a joke cover. This is the cover of "The New Yorker." It's supposed to be satire.
Obama campaign spokesman Bill Burton says:
“The New Yorker may think, as one of their staff explained to us, that their cover is a satirical lampoon of the caricature Senator Obama's right-wing critics have tried to create. But most readers will see it as tasteless and offensive. And we agree."
I guess I'll read the article, but, jeez, I'm not sure Obama wants these guys on his side.
