It took me a couple of days to realize that The New Yorker cover deliberately picked up the full Eastwood gag.

They could have shown Romney lecturing an empty podium, signifying that Obama didn't show for the debate. Instead they added an empty chair to the podium -- remember, you stand at a podium so chairs don't belong there. They really did portray the Untouchable Obama as an empty chair. The New Yorker Eastwooded Obama on its cover. A true The Emperor Has No Clothes moment.

Am I just being slow here?
