TNR Predicts Newsweek Obama Cover

Expects editor Tina Brown is ‘mulling the options.’

A pregnant Joe Biden? A bug-eyed Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council? Oh, what a wide world of cover possibilities opened up to Newsweek and The Daily Beast editor Tina Brown when President Obama announced his support for same-sex marriage on Wednesday! The Photoshop-happy folks over at The New Republic have put together a handsome slideshow of possibilities. Some of TNR’s suggestions, like a bright pink White House, are low-hanging fruit, and will surely be passed over without a second glance. American newsstands, beware. A TinaBeast special is headed your way. And TNR, the Beast assumes all this poking of other publications can be traced back to the impish wit of Chris Hughes.
