WASHINGTON – AP Barack Obama's campaign says a satirical New Yorker magazine cover showing the Democratic presidential candidate dressed as a Muslim and his wife as a terrorist is "tasteless and offensive."
The illustration on the issue that hits newsstands Monday, titled "The Politics of Fear" and drawn by Barry Blitt, depicts Barack Obama wearing traditional Muslim garb — sandals, robe and turban — and his wife, Michelle — dressed in camouflage, combat boots and an assault rifle strapped over her shoulder — standing in the Oval Office.

Barry Blitt, like the Netherlands cartoonist who finally had to go into hiding, is a really special guy, and it's apparent he is starved for attention. Mr. Blitt's contact information as of 07/14/08: 176 Riverside Ave, Riverside, CT 06878-2211, Phone: (203) 698-2449. Website: http://www.drawger.com/barryblitt/?section=contact&
I suspect Mr. Blitt will not be very accessible within a few hours. He might not even be with us. Who knows?
