Enough with all the fact-checking and analysis, you say. What's hot? What's sexy? I don't know, but the insiders at Marie Claire emailed to share some items from their "Sexy 101" list. Apparently Corey Booker is "looking fine" while cleaning up Newark. Also, we should "get this party started" in Cuba:
Sexiest Cause: Micro[cr]edit. Fusty term belies genius concept - small loans to poor, largely female entrepreneurs in the third world
Sexiest Party: Democratic National Convention. Donkeys storm Denver, August 25-28
Sexiest Republican: Virginia Senator John Warner. An unapologetic party-line crosser, he's pro-choice, pro-gun control, pro-green energy - and one of Liz Taylor's exes
Sexiest Democrat: Newark Mayor Cory Booker. Cleaning up one of the nation's most violent cities, and looking fine doing it.
Sexiest Nation: Cuba. Fidel's out, cell phones and home ownership are in. Let's get this party started!
Sexiest Head of State: Argentine Prez Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner
My favorite is John Warner as the sexiest Republican, though:
I'm sure he was a good-looking guy when he was younger but, uh, that's pretty counterintuitive. (Maybe someone's looking to move over to The New Republic...)
I find it interesting, yet all-to-predictable, that the "sexiest" Republican is one who frequently crosses party lines, despite being less than sexy by any objective standards. Talk about seeing the world through politically-colored glasses.
Maybe this just me, but how is the sexiest Republican anyone but Sarah Palin?
