[Vision2020] The new The Saga Continues...

I think she looks.....fine. 

What's amusing is a remark that denies the out of context use of the photo as sexist followed by comment that includes the term "bitchy."

  Perhaps I missed something, but where does it say it was used without permission.  I do not have access to the contract between Runner's World and Ms. Palin, but in my experience such photo shoot contracts give total control of the material created to the payer for the photo shoot.  Perhaps you have other information.

  In any case, Palin did give permission for the photo to be used by Runner's World.  I hardly think the photo sexist, but with her arms akimbo, she does look a little bitchy.

    Considering the text on that cover and the fact that the photo was taken for an article to appear in Runners World magazine and used without permission one sort of has to wonder how this rag justifies calling itself "Newsweek." Perhaps Left Wing Opinionweak would be more appropriate. Considering their dwindling circulation, I suppose it hardly matters.

      Let's see.  Didn't she pose for the photo at issue for distribution in a magazine, or was that some egregious impostor?

      Palin slams 'sexist' Newsweek cover
      Posted: November 17th, 2009 12:06 PM ET

      From CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney

      Palin is not happy with the latest Newsweek cover.

      (CNN) - Sarah Palin's image is everywhere as she launches a highly-anticipated book tour this week, but the former Alaska governor is unhappy with at least one media organization's depiction of her.

      Palin took aim at Newsweek's eye-catching cover this week that shows the former vice presidential candidate in her running outfit - an image that was apparently lifted from a Runner's World photo shoot months ago.  Writing on her Facebook page Monday night, Palin said the depiction is flat out "sexist, and oh-so-expected."

      "The choice of photo for the cover of this week's Newsweek is unfortunate. When it comes to Sarah Palin, this 'news' magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant," Palin wrote. "The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist, and oh-so-expected by now."

      "If anyone can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw attention - even if out of context," Palin also said.

      The photo is accompanied by text that states "How Do You Solve A Problem Like Sarah? She's bad news for the GOP - and for everybody else too."

      Palin has held back few punches at the media in the initial stages of her publicity tour.  The former governor slammed the Associated Press for its recent fact check that took issue with several of the memoir's contentions and, in her Oprah appearance that aired Monday, Palin slammed the way the media treated her family during the campaign.

      The Alaska Republican also doesn't hold back in her book, writing at one point, "I had been out of journalism for a long time, and it was pretty obvious the rules had changed. I felt sick about the depths to which some in the press had apparently sunk, not because it was unfair to me and John, but because it was unfair to the American electorate."
