Wow. Just wow. Never thought the bastion of progressive and intellectual thought that is the New Yorker would pull that one. Even if Safire was shilling for them.

Word is, it's not a particularly flattering article on the inside, either.

Re: Dubfan's avatar revisited
Okay, I've revisited this. The spin from TNY is that it's supposed to be satirizing the scare tactics that will be used by the right wing to scare voters away from Obama. So they put together a reactionary and arguably racist cover, and they actually find a way to blame it on the right.
Brilliant!

"they were just gonna say it anyway!"
When your enemies do not cooperate by acting like the caricatures you believe them to be I suppose it's time to beat them to it, somehow the blame for this will fall upon conservatives.
Edit To Add:
I'm sure I just missed all the furor from fairness and decency minded libs over this Rolling Stone cartoon lampooning McCain's time as a POW:
