did Time ever display the rear-end of the Democratic donkey in its cover?

As a matter of fact...

Wow, I hadn't seen that cover before. Two things jump right out at me.

First, apparently conventional photo manipulation didn't clean her up enough, so they resorted to painting (or photo manipulation made to look like a painting).

Also, her outfit looks like something popularized in Red China.
