New Yorker magazine cover is going to cause tantrums among the GOP...

[Archae]

I love it!

[NYC_SKP]

1. Oh damn, that's the best cover ever. Look at little Teddy!

[Heather MC]

35. Score!

Aww feeding the turtle

[Beacool]

2. Ha, ha, ha!!!

I got Rafael, Michele and the Turtle. I wonder who the one walking away is supposed to be, maybe Boehner?

[monmouth3]

3. Boner with a tear on his right cheek. Sooo perfect...LOL..

[Beacool]

5. Is that a tear?

I missed it. BTW, the curly haired kid that is barely seen behind Cruz, is that supposed to be Rand Paul?

[sharp_stick]

7. I think that's Ted Cruz n/t

[Beacool]

9. No, Cruz is clearly seen behind Michele Bachmann.

[sharp_stick]

13. You're right it is Rand Paul

I missed the hair behind Cruz.

[monmouth3]

8. I thought it was Cruz. Rand is blonder...n/t

[Beacool]

10. I think that we are getting confused.

The three "kids" that we see fully are McConnell, Michele Bachmann and Ted Cruz. Right behind and to the right of Cruz (our left), there's someone with curly, light colored hair. I think that one is supposed to be Rand Paul. The kid that already got his medicine and is walking out of the photo has Boehner's hair. I thought you were referring to him.

[monmouth3]

11. You're right, the kid behind Ted is Rand. HA!

[DallasNE]

21. Who Is The Comb-over By Cruz's Left Ear?

Possibly John Roberts?

[SaveOurDemocracy]

23. Lindsey Graham?

[Manifestor_of_Light]

28. I think it's Lindsey.

[SummerSnow]

29. Lindsay Graham is wearing his Little Lord Fauntleroy shorts..lol

[DallasNE]

30. I Now Agree On Graham

The only name I could come up with that combed his hair in that fashion was John Roberts but that didn't make much sense in this context. I looked up a picture of Graham and his hair is parted in a like manner and he fits so I'm with you now on it being Graham.

[Beacool]

25. I can't figure that one out.

[Dawson Leery]

4. Look at Cruz. He looks like he knows he is unworthy of

what Obama is about to give him.

[Voice for Peace]

19. he seems to be depicted as a sad clown

[prairierose]

6. LOL great subject line....n/t

[Tom Ripley]

12. Teddy has gotten into Mommy's blush...again

[lark]

14. Sorry GOP

You continually act like children, you deserve that depiction.

[Rex]

15. OMGZ!

HA HA!

[tridim]

16. I made this better crop for FB sharing... FB loves this cover BTW. :)

[Zambero]

17. But they're such well-behaved little losers!

Open wide now, the doctor is in charge here!

[eppur_se_muova]

18. Cod liver oil, I hope. nt

[frylock]

20. the artist has really managed to capture the essence of mcconnell's derpitude

[asjr]

22. Asolutely brilliant! That cover deserves a prize.

[narnian60]

24. +1

Yes, it really does.

[SmittynMo]

26. OMG. This is priceless. n/t

[SummerSnow]

27. LOL, Boehner crying and walking away after taking his "medicine"

love it

[Brigid]

31. Obama should be feeding them peas.

[stage left]

32. I love this.

Love it! Love it! Love it! That is... it is little Lindsay there behind Ted. Delicious!

[Danascot]

33. I think the medicine they're getting

has to do with the success of ACA crossing the 7 million milestone, and starting to be embraced by the nation outside the echo-chamber. Do you think that's right or could it be something else?

As an aside, I think the artist has really captured Obama's look when he's laughing:

[blkmusclmachine]

34. (Chuckle.)

[Jasana]

36. (Sing!) A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down... the medicine go down!

[tclambert]

37. You know, I just saw the second Hunger Games movie. Why isn't the GOP pitching a fit over that?

They complained Elysium ridiculed their idea of Utopia. The Hunger Games also describes a Republican dream world--the privileged few in The Capital live lives of excess and pointless luxury while working class people in the Districts flirt with starvation.
