The latest issue of Time magazine features Hillary Clinton on its cover , but there 's something different about the former secretary of state and would-be Madam President . The way the magazine 's graphic designers positioned her silhouette under the letter 'M ' in its iconic masthead appears to tack a pair of devil horns on her head . And it 's not the first time Time has done this to a world leader . The March 23 , 2015 cover of Time magazine gives Hillary Clinton unintentional devil horns . Vladimir Putin , Barack Obama , Margaret Thatcher and Pope Francis have gotten the photographic Beelzebub treatment . Even Jesus Christ was once pictured with horns – right above his crown of thorns . This week 's subtle jab at Clinton , intentional or not , comes as she is under fire for using a secret , private email system during her years as secretary of state . Democratic insiders are beginning to reconsider her role as the party 's 'inevitable ' 2016 presidential nominee , and other potential candidates are testing the waters . Past 'Time ' devil-horn cover subjects have included Presidents Bill Clinton ( left ) and Barack Obama ( right ) Time 's White House correspondent shared some insider gossip about reactions to the Hillary cover . The cover story is headlined 'The Clinton Way , ' and chronicles Mrs. Clinton 's and her husband 's long history of bending rules – and , some argue , laws – to conform to their political ambitions . 'They write their own rules . Will it work this time ? ' Time asks . 'Along with her husband – the 42nd President of the United States – Hillary Clinton is the co-creator of a soap-operatic political universe in which documents vanish , words like `` is '' take on multiple meanings and foes almost always overplay their hand , ' author David von Drehle writes . 'Impeachment can be a route to higher approval ratings ; the occasional ( and rare ) defeat merely marks the start of the next campaign . Whatever rules may apply to them , the law of gravity is not one . ' HOLY SMOKES : 'Time ' has even put Pope Francis and JESUS underneath its iconic letter 'M ' One Time reporter who covers the White House wrote on Twitter that that his colleagues were trading quips about the Hillary cover . 'Actual discussion in the TIME office : `` That ’ s not the way the horns would be '' , ' he tweeted . Time 's editors responded to the online hubbub with a few paragraphs online and a collection of nearly three dozen instances where the 'M ' produced unexpected headgear . 'This has happened before . ... 'Any resemblance to cats , bats or devil horns is entirely coincidental , ' They wrote .
'M ' in magazine 's logo is mostly covered by Clinton silhouette , with the inner points of the letter forming horns on a Clinton silhouette . Subtle jab , intentional or not , comes as Hillary is under fire for using a secret , private email system during her years as secretary of state . Barack Obama , Margaret Thatcher , Vladimir Putin , Pope Francis and JESUS have turned up with the 'horns ' on their heads on Time covers . Comment:
