In a strange move to defend Senator Barack Obama and bash Senator John McCain, Vanity Fair has spoofed the recent New Yorker magazine cover that took a jab at Obama.

On their cover, Vanity Fair shows the McCain's doing an Obama fist-bump and Cindy is holding an arm full of prescription drugs. I'm not sure if they're calling Mrs. McCain a druggy or making fun of the fact that John requires so much health care.

Inside, a short article talks about why they chose this cover.

"We had our own presidential campaign cover in the works, which explored a different facet of the Politics of Fear, but we shelved it when The New Yorker's became the "It Girl" of the blogosphere," Vanity Fair writes. "Now, however, in a selfless act of solidarity with our downstairs neighbors here at the Condé Nast building, we'd like to share it with you. Confidentially, of course."

The two magazines evidently have a "friendly" rivalry going on. We've heard they even play softball against one another. What corporate fun!
