First the empty chair, now the empty podium — at least that’s how The New Yorker magazine sees the first presidential debate.

For its cover due out on Monday, the venerable magazine has chosen a caricature of Mitt Romney debating a podium without anyone behind it, as it satirizes President Barack Obama’s poor performance on Wednesday night in Denver.

The picture is titled “One on One,” even though the Republican challenger is alone on stage.

Permission to ridicule “The One” has been given.

Surprisingly, the comments favor the cover....except for a few tattered Obama worshipers who are still making excuses for their deficient god.

You gotta ask yourself one question.
Do I feel vindicated?

You can always expect that when the publication is on Drudge, which it was.

Now SNL needs to follow the New Yorkers lead and deliver this message as well.

Rush, has once again turned out to be right. He has said for months that if the media decides Obama might lose they will turn on him and make it about his failures because they will not blame liberalism.

The comments are written by intelligent people who have now seen the light! I am starting to feel much better.

I have been made to understand that Clint obtained Lazamataz's permission before he felt comfortable "hitting' that one.

Wow. If the New Yorker is putting stuff like this on the front cover, then the bloom has definitely come off the Obama rose.

Long past overdue.

Exactly - shoot the messenger. In either party, there is a small contingent who lead the intellectual debate. Imagine if the Rs were represented by a mentally deficient retard the caliber of zer0? Oh, that’s right, we were. But in zer0’s case, his color initially protected him; not so Bush. There is no escaping the ridicule, disdain and taint of embarrassment when you cannot articulate your particular cause without the use of a ‘prompter.

It must suck to be a Democrat president who has lost both Newsweek and the New Yorker.
