She posed for the picture. As long as they're using the photograph legally, I think it's fair game.
I agree with christinagwynne. A male politician might not be treated the same way, but that might be because he might not have had a career in modeling previously. If he had, I would say that his pictures would be fair game.
I doubt that Sarah Palin would have it any other way. She doesn't strike me as the type that would accuse anyone of being sexist for a photo like this. I agree with christinagwynne--a photo that was already taken legally is fair game. It's not like she's doing anything that would be considered compromising.
Yeah but imagine if that was our leader of the United States and he was posing like that. I believe we wouldnt be so open to that she does represent a state and that could be embarressing.
if it's embarrassing, then she shouldn't have done it in the first place. If she wanted to have a serious career, become a serious politician, if she wanted to be respected, then she shouldn't have posed for the picture. of course, she is none of these things,if she did want to be taken seriously, she also should not have said the things that she said in this video, at 1:05 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WfIKdRmWkBI
I think anything involving Sarah Palin is complicated. I don't find it precisely sexist, although a male-bodied candidate would probably have been treated more seriously. It is, however, a biased treating of her and the media has largely taken a dim view of her. She is treated as a joke, but she does often set herself up for such (by saying ridiculous/offensive things, posing for pictures like this, etc.)
I agree with christinagwynne also. It's fair game. it's not sexist at all. Anything involving Sarah Palin is difficult.
If a reputable magazine feels the need to write an article on a former Vice-Presidential candidate, whether male or female, and do not feel like taking the time to properly photograph the person, but instead merely take a past image, they should take an image that relates to their story properly! The article is about politics, and no politician would dress that way when describing their political ideas! The article isn't "Sarah Palin's Daily Routine" or "How to Stay Fit like Sarah". The editors should properly portray their subject in regards to the article's gist, no matter whom the article is about!
mgkitchen, I'm so glad I'm not alone in feeling this. I've always loved Newsweek, been reading it for over 25 years. It has just drifted so far from where it once was which was a weekly news magazine. Now it seems like its just a bunch of one page opinion pieces. I love the different type color in Scope, the need for Newsweek to highlight their points for us- Thanks. A few years ago, it seems they fell in love with Fareed and his style. That approach was fine for awhile, but when they felt they had to save the magazine with a redo, making this a magazine with multiple one page opinion columns really didn't serve them well. The fawning over Obama is sickening, and after reading this week's Conventional Wisdom piece, along with the Palin photo, I'd had enough and have cancelled my subscription. They have lost the ability to provide news via jounalism and have seemed to have replaced it with columnists. I'm looking forward to taking my subscription refund and lengthening my TIME subscription.

I don't exactly find it sexist, but if it were a male, the photographer would have him look more professional, and in a suit. while, since he or she, used a woman, who happened to be Sarah Palin, the editor chose a picture that had her posing in such a way that wasn't fully professional. I also believe that if a man were in her place, he would have on more clothes, and he would probably be more professional, especially with the caption given. In my opinion, society, it self, is biased towards men, not necessarily sexist, but they view men higher than women. It's not everybody, but a lot of people view women as "sexy" and "inferior" to men. a lot of those people want women to look bad if they are in competition with men, so they have pictures like this one, on covers of magazines, to make men, who are in the same spot, look better. For this particular photo (if the cover was of a man), the editor would have chosen a picture of him in a nice-looking suit, and probably looking more professional. But, if the roles were reversed, (having a women in men clothes, and having a man in women clothes) it would be considered sexist.
