Sarah Palin is seeing red and it has everything to do with this latest photo.
Newsweek has placed Palin on its cover sporting some tiny running shorts and a tight red top. The photo was actually taken by photographer Brian Adams for Runner's World and was published this past August.
But Palin's clearly upset that Newsweek decided to publish the shots, calling the cover sexist.
She's especially upset that it was published without permission and against the contract which stated the photos were under embargo for one year following publication. So they wouldn't be able to get published until August 2010.
Palin took to her Facebook account and wrote the following:
The choice of photo for the cover of this week's Newsweek is unfortunate. When it comes to Sarah Palin, this "news" magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant. The Runner's World magazine one-page profile for which this photo was taken was all about health and fitness - a subject to which I am devoted and which is critically important to this nation. The out-of-context Newsweek approach is sexist and oh-so-expected by now. If anyone can learn anything from it: it shows why you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw attention - even if out of context.
A rep for Runner's World reveals, "Runner's World did not provide Newsweek with its cover image. It was provided to Newsweek by the photographer's stock agency, without Runner's World's knowledge or permission."
As for Newsweek, their spokesperson admits, "We purchased the photo from an agency and were not aware of any issues with it."
So the question still remains, who sold the photo and was the contract violated?
But please, we don't buy that Palin's upset over the cover. We hate admitting this, but we bet she knows she looks hot in that photo!
The photo might be out of context, but do U really think it's sexist?
