Is Sarah Palin's Newsweek Cover Sexist?
Copyright 2009 / Newsweek
A scathing Newsweek headline reads: "How do you solve a problem like Sarah?" The trade shows former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin in leg-bearing running gear, a photo she originally posed for to promote an active lifestyle in Runners World.

In comparison to other political figures, Sarah believes she is being treated unfairly. "I found it a wee bit degrading," she tells Barbra Walters on "Good Morning America" today.

  • MartiV Looks like Time Warner will do anything to make a buck these days. This is totally LOW CLASS for a "news" magazine. They did this to sell more copies, not for news. Other people refer to rags like that as The Enquirer or TMZ. DOH!

  • dawna_63 Oh and this is about Palin not our present President. You have a problem to be calling him names. Some here need to get their s--- together. It is hard to fix 8 years of stupidity in 1 yr.

  • dawna_63 And she would not release 1 mil to cover all disabled in the state. Google her and read everything thoroughly before you choose to vote for a gun toting idiot like her. Hey folks U want to be a Gov. move to AK not much is required.

  • dawna_63 IMO anyone who has not read up on her needs to. She never supported the disables people in her own state and her son is among them. But of course she was getting free medical as Gov. But there was a surplus of state money of about 6 mil and she would not fork over 1 mil. to cover all disabled in state.

  • dawna_63 Sorry, but she is a lame person. On O she days she was mad and that is why she did not answer what she read Well I darn sure would have spit out all I read especially if angry. so most likely she doesn't know what she is doing.

  • WendyC24 Sarah Palin can't have it both ways. Once a photo is published, whether in print or on line, it is out there. The photographee loses control over the image. Think about what you put out there BEFORE you put it out. After the photo is taken is too late.

  • HenryW5 The left in general is the most hateful group of people this nation has ever seen. They hate Sarah Palin with a passion, but why? That is the story subject matter, why does the left hate her so much?
