Vanity Fair Publishes A Watered-down Response to The New Yorker's Obama Satire

The folks at Vanity Fair have published a spoof cover, taking a little jab at the controversy surrounding its sibling, The New Yorker's now famous Obama cover.

The spoof ran only on the Vanity Fair website, and surely has little of the bite, and surely deserves much less attention than the real deal. In fact, it feels much more like an attention-getting device than the New Yorker cover, that was designed to stir debate, rather than just attention.

Vanity Fair's version shows the 71-year-old McCain, often the butt of age jokes, using a walker, and his wife Cindy -- who once had a drug problem -- cradling an armful of prescription pill bottles. A portrait of President Bush hangs above a fireplace where the Constitution is burning.
