BSG on the cover of Rolling Stone

Alex emailed me this bit of news today:

Apparently, there is an article about BSG in the upcoming Rolling Stone. I
can't find any reference to it on the site, but look at the magazine cover
on this CNN article:

Good to see! More hot press!

I am going to keep watching the Rolling Stone web site to see if they post anything...

Here is the article on the Rolling Stone site:

Civilization is under attack by religious fanatics -- and the fanatics are winning. There are suicide bombers, a clueless president and prisoners who get tortured by the good guys. No, this isn't a particularly grim night on CNN: It's Battlestar Galactica, the smartest and toughest show on TV. In its second season, this remake of the 1978 camp classic has become -- no joke -- TV's most vivid depiction of the post-9/11 world and what happens to a society at war.

I think this is the article

Good article, however, I wouldn't call the character of President Roslin "Clueless." Inexperienced, but tougher than steel, would be a good description.

I wouldn't call Roslin "clueless" either. IMHO, I think the author of the article was trying hard to compare Roslin with GWB to highlight BSG's topical relevance. Since the author also seems to despise GWB, his comments about Roslin reflect that bias.
