<p>Sarah Palin <a href="http://www.facebook.com/notes/sarah-palin/newsweek/175955933434" target="_self">once wrote</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The choice of photo for the cover of this week&#39;s Newsweek is  unfortunate. When it comes to Sarah Palin, this &quot;news&quot; magazine has  relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant. The  Runner&#39;s World magazine one-page profile for which this photo was taken  was all about health and fitness &#8211; 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&#39;t judge a book by its  cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw  attention &#8211; even if out of context.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>To supplement this week&#39;s cover, Palin poses for a <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/galleries/2011/07/11/sarah-palin-s-newsweek-cover-shoot.html" target="_self">whole gallery</a> of photos donning her &quot;Edge Fitness&quot; shirt and other presidential gear.</p>
