'It's true. I am the Elisabeth Hasselbeck of Us Weekly. During our spirited office debates, it's up to me (along with the office's outnumbered Republicans — hey, it's New York City) to defend the old man from Arizona, while the Democrats cheer for Barack Obama like he's a Jonas Brother. For months, I've touted McCain's vast experience and his economic policies without a trace of postmodern irony. (The credit — or, uh, blame — mostly lies with my parents, the only conservative Jews in Detroit). My take on his VP pick? "I think she's fascinating!" I chirped to my editor in chief early on September 1. "She's a mother of five and she hunts!"'
That's Mara Reinstein, the Us Weekly writer behind the "Babies, Lies & Scandal" cover that, some might argue, was part of Jann Wenner's master plan to elect Obama and stunt McCain. Reinstein's (and Min's) insistence that because she is a McCain supporter, this week's issue is not a Jann Wenner-ordered hit job on McCain remains a, uh, ridiculous argument, because Reinstein almost certainly wasn't asked, "Could you whip together a Palin story please?" — she was told want slant to take.

Jann Wenner owns the magazine. Jann Wenner is in the tank for Obama. What else does one need to know here?
Apparently Sarah Palin loves to spread her legs.
She's a regular baby factory. If you've seen someof the earlier pictures of her in hot pants and 6 inch Joan Crawford "come-fuck-me" pumps, she looks every bit like the common street whore.
I hope they do a collage of her sleazy pictures which are highly indicative of a sleazy past.
well, it's your fault, bev. i hear she got all her fashion sense from you.
The funny thing Beverly is that your own lack of contentment shines through your own post. You can pay for the sunset by not being the person that you currently are. By the way, that is a Chesterton quote in relation to Oscar Wilde - look it up - you may find it is a mirror to yourself if you pause, take a breath and contemplate.
Shorter Beverly Hills:

Yeah, she married her high school boyfriend and had five kids with him, what a slut.
Oh and she's a female politician who is attractive and doesn't have to wear pant suits to conceal her cankles. What a ho!
It would appear as though Beverly Hills ( a "wannabe" moniker if there ever was one)is thoroughly conversant as to what "fuck me pumps" look like.
Maria is lying. US is afraid of cancelled subscriptions, and I hope that they are growing.
It was a deliberately misleading headline, a deliberately misleading article, and then it provides a two page, very complimentary photo spread of Michelle Obama.
To the readers of US Weekly. The editors there really do think that you are stupid. They really, really, do.
And you can bet none of them went to an inner city public school. But they want that for your kids.
