Sarah Palin claims the picture Newsweek used of her on the cover of their latest issue is sexist. Is it?

This is a quote Sarah made on her Facebook page in response:

"The choice of photo for the cover of this week's Newsweek is unfortunate. When it comes to Sarah Palin, this "news" magazine has relished focusing on the irrelevant rather than the relevant. The Runner's World magazine one-page profile for which this photo was taken was all about health and fitness -- 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't judge a book by its cover, gender, or color of skin. The media will do anything to draw attention -- even if out of context."

How is this a case of sexism if that picture is the one used for an article about her in Runner's World? Is it?

[+] No, this is not a case of sexism
[+] Yes, this is a case of sexism
[+] Sarah Palin is a beautiful person
