The title and sub-title are so flagrantly venomous that they appeal (as with the deluge of Obama covers) to none but the most ardent Leftie, and Palin's hotness erases whatever spiteful little words they've put next to her. I'm with ddrintn regarding <strike>Newspeak's</strike> Newsweek's disdain for the Blue Star Flag - ignorance is bliss. CK – yeah, I see what you’re saying.

The vivacious image remains attractive and positive for all their efforts to negate it, and will last in the minds of casual readers - and non-readers who simply see the magazine on newstands, doctor's offices, wherever - long after the opinionated claptrap has been forgotten. On the other hand, the Obama covers you document passed the point of "not another one" overkill a long time ago for all but the hardest core Obamanauts.

They couldn't care less.

My personal guess is that Newsweek made what seemed to them an aesthetic decision on the composition.

My guess is that Newsweek doesn’t have a friggin’ clue what the blue star means. They couldn’t care less.
