Palin calls National Geographic cover
'sexist'
 By
John Breneman
Responding to criticism from Sarah Palin that her depiction
on the cover of National Geographic was "sexist
and oh-so-Newsweek," editors at the magazine
defended the use of a provocative image paired with the headline,
"GOP Cougar Unleashed!"
"Our interest in Sarah Palin is strictly anthropological,"
said editor Jack Wildebeest. "Plus we wanted to sell
a couple million magazines."
Palin claimed the magazine played "gotcha" by tricking
her into admitting that she doesn't believe in evolution.
According to the article: "Palinus Politicus (species:
anti-homo sapiens) is a fierce, cold-blooded carnivore often
mocked in the political jungle for stalking as prey the swifter,
nimbler, more intelligent Kenyan Obama."
 Palin,
riding a wave of publicity with the release of her best-selling
autobiography "Going Vogue" and a controversial
Newsweek cover, also complained about sexist cover treatment
in the Christian Science Monitor, Ebony and the Reader's Digest
swimsuit edition. She is calling a report in Vanity Fair
"unbalanced."
Sarah 'Going Vogue' in maverick memoir
 By
John Breneman
Media buzz over the new best-seller by conservative queen
bee Sarah Palin climaxes today as "Going Rogue: An American
Life" finally hits bookstores.
Also out today, "Going
Rouge: An American Nightmare," a book
of essays critical of Palin complied by two editors
at The Nation and featuring a nearly identical cover.
And now, completing the trilogy, a hot new Palin parody from
Humor Gazette Media -- "Going Vogue: A Real American
... Huh?"
 With
startling revelations about the former beauty queen (Miss
Communication) turned Joe Six-Pack hockey mom, "Going
Vogue" is already getting rave reviews from the godless
elite liberal media and President
Obama's death panels.
The publication -- described as "a revisionist look
at a revisionist autobiography by America's most fabulous
fabulist" -- reveals that along with creationism, Palin
is a devout believer in creating her own reality.
"Going Vogue" confirms that Palin does not believe
in evolution and breaks the news that she supports an Evolutionary
War pitting "real Americans" against liberals and
apes. She also reiterates her belief in the right of every
fetus to own a gun.
 In
the parody, Palin takes shots at John McCain for choosing
her to be one heartbeat (or ruptured spleen) away from the
presidency, and she sprinkles the book with fawning references
to God and Ronald Reagan, part of her ongoing campaign to
be the conservative movement's Cute Rockne.
Fresh digs at Katie Couric for playing "gotcha"?
You betcha.
In addition to breaking new jokes about Palin's call for
the U.S. to adopt tougher sanctions against David Letterman,
the abridged (to nowhere) edition of "Going Vogue"
spotlights past Humor Gazette reportage on the Foxy Newsmaker.

Palin's "family values" shtik is increasing her
family's value by millions -- with her best-selling book, lucrative
reality TV opportunities, workout DVDs and a new line of Sassy
Sarah bobble-head political action figures.
