Mr. Kamiya is out of touch with reality. After four years of George W. Bush he was re-elected for four more years. That is the equivalent of watching a football game and calling to make a half time wager. Your bet is based on watching the first thirty minutes of the game and choosing the best team for the second half.
In short, there are millions of stupid people in this country. I believe that the satire that Mr.Kamiya so eloquently defends will never be perceived as such when it is accompanied by so strong a visual statement. I think that posters of the New Yorker cover will be hung in a lot of places as an affirmation of untrue accusations.
The terrible mistake, is publishing something for the very few.
