I have fond memories of MAD magazine from my childhood. I had "tons" of issues of MAD magazine (and still must have some somwhere...) and I can say that the hard-hitting satire in MAD had a great early influence in shaping my views from an early age.
Now MAD strikes again - and the target is Sarah Palin, which is more than appropriate. According to MAD, Sarah is the "Blunder Woman" (click to enlarge):
This parody also caught the eye of the satire department of the "Anchorage Daily News (ADN)" - they write:
NOT QUITE AS CHEAP a shot as the Newsweek cover, but maybe a contender. The current issue of Mad Magazine lists Sarah Palin as "Blunder Woman," the 18th "stupidest person in America." Since Ear personally knows 23 stupider people, it's not a true fact. But at least she looks better as a drawing in tights than in those running shorts. And, because No. 1 on the Mad list is Michael Jackson, taste obviously weighed lightly in the selection. But isn't that what we love about Mad?
Well -I don't agree that the Newsweek cover was a "cheap shot", because Sarah Palin proudly posed for the picture herself. However, I admire the fact that the ADN were able to locate 23 people who are stupider than Sarah Palin. This is quite an achievement. ;-)
