Is Palin cover a 'slap in the face'?
October 9, 2008
This week's Newsweek features an extreme close-up of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin -- a picture so detailed it shows every blemish and wrinkle and even a few wisps of facial hair.
Republican media consultant Andrea Tantaros told Fox News the photo is "a clear slap in the face" at Palin.
An official with the magazine told the TV show "Access Hollywood" that the picture was cropped to accentuate Palin's smile.
The story behind the cover isn't very flattering either. The headline reads: "She's One of The Folks (And that's the problem)."
