MAD magazine accepts the challenge to parody a walking talking parody called Donald Trump.

Courtesy of HuffPo: 

There’s a reason MAD Magazine has been around since the 1950s: the humor publication always finds a unique angle to address the craziness happening in the world. 

MAD’s latest issue hits newsstands on Feb. 21 (Feb.10 in digital form) to continue that tradition of satirical excellence.

I think magazines like Mad and programs like SNL, The Daily Show, and Full Frontal provide the valuable service of reminding people that there is nothing normal about the Trump presidency.

The real danger is for the American people to accept all of this as the new normal because that would ensure that it would continue even past the Trump administration's expiration date.

If Norman Rockwell depicted today's America.

Damn I have not read a Mad magazine for a decade or more.

I forgot just how great they were at using parody to illustrate the problems in our world.

Mad Magazine celebrates Sarah Palin's 50th birthday. Oh she's going to love this!

I hate to break this to Mad Magazine but Sarah Palin has been getting plastic surgery for years, well before Bristol who got her first surgery when she was underage teenager.

Other than that I think Mad did a great job.

You can tell by counting the dings in her refrigerator.

Mad Magazine's take on Sarah Palin's attempt at "infiltrating some turf" on the Today Show.

Get a load of this description, from the magazine that had me giggling all through my adolescence:

When ABC announced that Katie Couric would be filling in as co-anchor on Good Morning America, the producers of The Today Show knew they had to do something big to counter-program. And they did! Unfortunately, they did something big and stupid, bringing in unqualified V.P. candidate, half-term Alaska governor and intellectual feather-weight Sarah Palin to co-host. Is this bad, desperate TV? You betcha!

I could not have said it better myself!

By the way, could the Today Show now be starting to feel the effects of the "Palin curse?" Maybe.

In what has become one of the most closely watched ratings battles ever, ABC’s Good Morning America with guest host Katie Couric edged Couric’s former show, NBC’s Today, for the first time. On Wednesday, Good Morning America drew 5.236 million total viewers, to Today’s 5.149 million. 

When will people ever learn?  Sure she may get you so some initial attention, but in the long run being associated with Sarah Palin is like going skinny dipping with an anchor around your neck.

The only place you are going is down.  And fast!

Hey, Rick Perry made it onto the cover of MAD magazine! Or did he?

Nah, it's not real. But it IS real good!

And let me extend a warm thank you to Mark, for using his bout of insomnia to create this wonderful graphic for the folks here at IM.

Finally Sarah gets her wish as she becomes the focus of everybody's attention.

Behold, our exclusive preview of attempted Vice President and former Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as "Blunder Woman," where she battles against David Letterman, imaginary death panels, and her desire to quit everything she does.

Then we have the upcoming Barbara Walters interview, in which Sarah decides to discard about four pounds of hair. (I kid you not. Just take a look at the video.)

We also learn that Caribou Barbie will be making a stop at Fort Hood, to hawk her book to the grieving soldiers. Haven't they suffered enough?

If you find yourself wondering today, "How did this woman ever get elected as Governor of Alaska?" , my friend Jeanne Devon (AKMuckraker) will enlighten you over at Huffington Post with an article adapted from her chapter in the book "Going Rouge".

And for the conspiracy minded you may be interested to learn that Palin seriously considered suing Andrew Sullivan of the Daily Dish and that the Wall Street Journal is supposed to have a story about that sometime today. (Oooh babygate stuff!)
