You Should Probably See the New York Tabloids' NRA Covers

The New York Post and the New York Daily News compete to out-do one another with splashy covers daily and, on some rare occasions, they both produce winners. This weekend is one of those times, because they both skewered yesterday's crazy NRA speech. 

The Post has been a vocal supporter of gun control in the wake of the Newtown shootings, so it's no surprise they weren't pleased with Wayne LaPierre's error-riddled speech yesterday. Never being ones to mince words, the Post's GUN NUT succinctly sums up what we were all thinking. 

We also love the Daily News calling LaPierre the craziest man on earth. (Probably because he cribbed most of his speech from Facebook.) It's simple, beautiful, brilliant, and certainly worth the dollar. 

We would try and declare one the winner over the other, but that doesn't seem fair. Really, in cases likes this, we're all winners.
