How did Newsweek convince Gov. Sarah Palin to pose with a rifle for its cover?
Simple. It didn't.
Instead, it used an archive (fancy speak for old) stock photo of her taken back in June 2002 and used it for the cover without her knowledge.
However, to the magazine's credit, it did not try to hide the fact that it's a stock photo, even printing circa 2002 on the cover and again referencing the date in editor Jon Meacham's letter entitled "The Palin Problem."
So that makes it OK.
Right? Or maybe not? What do you think?
Hey, is that even the right way to hold a rifle? Can't you shoot your foot off like that?
Just wondering.

Silly LA libs:
A.) There’s nothing “wrong”. Its a great pic that will probably bring votes.
B.) That’s a shotgun. Doofus.

I'm no expert on firearms but wouldn't it be tough to shoot yourself if the barrel of the gun is at a 90 degree angle to the stock?
To: pissant
Are you sure it is a “rifle” Lizzy?
