Tweety Matthews Worries 'Right' Will Turn New Yorker Cover into T-Shirt
On Monday's "Hardball" Chris Matthews was so upset about the New Yorker's cover, depicting Barack Obama in a turban and Michelle Obama toting an AK-47, because he feared "the right will be using that as t-shirt material within the next couple of weeks.

Let's face it there are lot of people out there who want to believe he's a Muslim, who want to believe that he's too exotic to vote for, for a lot of ethnic reasons.

I just tried finding the shirt on Cafe Press (good luck searching through 400,000 designs) and ended up my fruitless search on this same Newsbusters page. I'm going to have to remember to make regular visits to Newsbusters. Their little video reports are hilarious and fill in the void that was left when the Half Hour News Hour went off the air. Everyone should make an effort to check out the current one!
LOL! NewsBusted is pretty good. That's a keeper. :D
