A picture worth one word

Mobster.

You'd have to be in a fairly high state of denial not to see that this is a cover intending to make a guy look like a mob boss.

Time is playing off Gov. Chris Christie's love of Bruce Springsteen, and he is the boss of New Jersey, but the giveaway is the mugshot-like image.

Christie isn't happy and anytime Christie isn't happy, entertainment follows:

"If his kids don't recognize him as the boss then he has more problems then he realizes. But I think he's having some fun with it. We had some fun with it," Time's managing editor responded.

Fun. Like Time had with the O.J. Simpson cover years ago.
