Rolling Stone Deifies Dear Leader


Gee, I can't wait until this hits the newsstands.

Not.

This cover, to be released Friday, comes from the same idiot who gave us the silly Hope posters during the 2008 campaign. Rolling Stone apparently doesn't understand the word overkill. As an added bonus we'll be provided with the keen insights of the fake Republican David Rodham Gergen, the psychotic Paul Krugman and the human blimp, Michael Moore. Should be some fascinating reading.
Artist Shepard Fairey, whose iconic HOPE campaign poster of Barack Obama was a global sensation, is back with a new image that both questions and deifies the President.

Appearing on the cover of the Aug. 20 Rolling Stone, the portrait depicts Obama with a brow knit in determination, surrounded by a halo of stars.

"Will he take bold action or compromise too easily?" asks a headline enshrining the President's head.

Fairey said it wasn't meant to be a halo. Rather, the picture he worked from showed Obama standing in front of the presidential seal, he said.
No, wasn't meant to be a halo. I'm sure all those halo images are just sheer coincidence.

This would be a more appropriate cover signifying Obama's accomplishments.
