The Brokeback Project

4/25/06- This cover of the February 27th New Yorker is of course a parody of the Brokeback Mountain movie poster. It was released around the time that Vice-President Cheney had shot Texas lawyer Harry Whittington. There are multiple ironies of course to this image. Susan decided that she would try her hand at texual analysis that she wants me to include in this post. She believes that Cheney's lips represent a heart, as he is in love with either the President or his gun, place that within whatever context you want in regards to the film and the event. The President on the other hand looks confused or upset, read this in regards to either Cheney's love for Mr. Bush or Cheney's love of his gun, or both.
