Pun Salad

Newsbusters gripes: "Obama on Time's Cover AGAIN!".

Via Drudge we get the recognition that Time Magazine has once again placed the Obamessiah on its cover. This makes the 7th time in the space of a year that Obama has graced the cover of Time Magazine.

Thus far, McCain has found the favor of the front cover precisely two times.

Hm. Pun Salad original research: National Review comes out every couple weeks, half as often as Time. In their sixteen issues so far this year, Obama's been on the cover six times (February 11, April 7, May 5, June 30, August 18, and the latest, September 1). He's been pictured on a hot air balloon, portrayed as the Messiah, looking young and shiftless on a Chicago street, speaking intensely, cariacatured as a citizen of the world. And on the latest, well, he just looks snooty.

And Michelle Obama has been on once (April 21), looking aggrieved.

Number of times McCain has graced NR's cover in 2008: Zero point zero times.

So, please, Newsbusters: if you really want to OD on Obama magazine covers, renew your subscription to National Review.

Uh, although your basic point is correct: Time is in the tank for Obama.
