I'm sure most of you remember The New Yorker's cover of the Obamas seen through Republicans eyes. Barack is dressed in "typical" Muslim garb, while Michelle dons full combat gear. The New Yorker cover was meant to critique the Republican view of the Obamas but the Obama campaign did not think it was funny. Now Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert (who else?) grace the cover of Entertainment Weekly in tribute to The New Yorker. Entertainment Weekly also did an interview with Stewart and Colbert and both do an excellent job of critiquing the candidates, their campaigns, and the media. Evidently with this issue, Entertainment Weekly definitely knows that they're doing when it comes to selling magazines.

Its so perfect that John Stewart and Stephen Colbert would team up to critique to government and poke fun at the circus that surrounds it. At this point in time, I see their opinions as mattering a great deal since they appeal to not only older voters but to a younger age demographic as well. I love what they did with the cover photo!
Jon Stewart and Stephen are the only two people that could have pulled this off and they did it with success.
