Since both magazines are owned by Conde Nast, the writers and illustrators for the publications know each other to at least some degree. When the furor erupted over the New Yorker's miserable attempt at satire, the staff of Vanity Fair was glad it was the folks downstairs taking the heat. Now a couple weeks later, they want to jump in the fray with this un-official cover of McCain over to my left. While it may not be the first counter to the Obama illustration, it definitely looks a lot better than Seattle P-I's.
Kudos to you Vanity Fair, for actually doing piece of satire on a piece of crap that was trying to be satirical. Oh, the irony of it all!
Bravo! Bravo!
