ADMIT IT! Crushes you are sort of ashamed of...

[Taverner]

I'll start first - Shania Twain.

Yeah, I know, no talent, probably repub, but damn if that midriff isnt nice...

Oh yeah and...um...Kelly Ripa (ducks)

Ok...your turn...

[C_eh_N_eh_D_eh]

1. Eliza Dushku.

For the same reasons.

And Shania, much as I hate to admit it, is a Canadian.

[VolcanoJen]

3. Eliza is hot-hot-hot, beyond hot.

Nothing to be ashamed of!

[Taverner]

6. Yes I must concur

And I loved how she kicked ass in Wrong Turn...something sexy about a woman with a 2x4...

[mvd]

16. Eliza is a liberal

Not sure how much talent she has, but if you check Liberalartists.com, there's a good article about how she's following in her mom's liberal footsteps. That combined with her sexiness makes her a great choice for young men like me.

I disagree about Shania being a no-talent (nice reedy voice and it takes talent to write some interestingly catchy songs,) but that's for another topic.

[VolcanoJen]

2. HUGH GRANT.

Not really ashamed, either...

[Taverner]

5. I never understood the Hugh Grant thing...

But most people don't understand my Kelly Ripa thing..."She's so annoyingly PERKY! Wouldn't you want to just strangle her?"

Sigh....

[madeuplikebowie]

18. Tucker Carlson

I know...I know but he IS kinda cute in a dorky way.

[SarahB]

28. I think Tucker Carlson is cute too.

That would be the worst of mine as well.

[Taverner]

37. TUCKER???

Now I'll admit he's one of the more fair repukes, actually waiting for Begala to finish before making his point and all...

Oh Sarahbelle....

[SarahB]

47. Oh, if his political persuasion was to the left

He'd definitely be doable.

[Skittles]

23. lordy

I want to drive a nail through her forehead.

[SarahB]

30. Hugh's a hottie!

And I'm not ashamed to say so either.

[SW FL Dem]

77. Gotta agree with you on that

Just watched Love Actually. It's not his best movie but he is still a cutie.

[terrya]

4. Kevin James of "The King of Queens"

Damn, that man is a stud. I've fantasized about him. I likes my men big...

[Kadie]

7. ah, OK, but I know I am not alone in this

Steve from Blues Clues...



I will go hide now.

[Taverner]

9. I think my son Nate has one too

either that or he has a crush on Blue....

[terrya]

10. Steve Burns is cute. Nothing to be ashamed of there.

Terry

[tigereye]

42. I think a lot of mommies had a crush on Steve

there is something so fresh, so smart, so cute and such a wise guy under there, too. And maybe a few daddies, too!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

93. HAHA

[Whitacre D_WI]

8. Grovelbot.

[physioex]

11. Don't be so sure she is repuke...

After all she is from Canada. In general they are more open minded and liberal and she lives in Switzerland now. The Dixie Chicks were more likely to be repuke but surprisingly they spoke out quite bravely against Shrub well over a year ago (paid a price for it). And now it turns out that they were right....

[Taverner]

14. Yeah I thought the whole Natalie Maines flap was interesting

She is actually a pretty conservative person...probably more of a DLC Dem than anything. She was on Politically Incorrect a year or so before arguing that marijuana should still be illegal, and that the drug war was just.

Then she came out against the war, but her reasons were really interesting and ones that I would have thought conservatives could have cut her slack on. She said that as a mother she couldn't stand the notion of the innocent children dying. I've known ALOT of mothers who were usually conservative say this.

But the freepers went all up in arms over it....f'n morans.

[Zomby Woof]

25. The Dixie Chicks are not even remotely repuke

This is not because of their anti-chimp comments I say this, but because of their background. Natalie's father is Lloyd Maines, who played guitar for Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock, and Joe Ely both with The Flatlanders and their solo albums. Those guys are old-school leftists in the Woody Guthrie tradition (Gilmore is country's only practicing Buddhist, and studied under Allen Ginsberg).

Son, it is never a good idea to jump to easy conclusions when it comes to country music and politics. Please do a little research before making hasty judgments. Natalie grew up in a more progressive household than 99% of DUers.

[bluestateguy]

12. Mila Kunis

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

13. Not ashamed and not quite a crush

More like strong admiration-for a great actor, wonderful person,social activist, and a DEMOCRAT, Sam Waterston!

[St. Jarvitude]

109. As a hetero guy, I can tell you

Sam Waterston has possibly the sexiest narration voice ever. I watched some documentary last year with his narration, and I couldn't even pay attention to the content...

[seattlesteph]

15. Sarcastic British guy from Blender magazine

...he's on those VH1 (do I have to be ashamed I watch VH1 too?) specials - like Top 50 Worst Songs of all time. He's so cute and British and any guy who can look hot while saying "disingenuous" is good in my book

[BeyondGeography]

17. Cat Woman,Jeannie, Marcia from The Brady Bunch

I'm older. Glad that's over with. Now I long for peace and quiet.

[asthmaticeog]

19. Lynndie England

*ducks thrown objects*

[jmowreader]

49. I'd like to crush Lynndie; does that count?

In my hydraulic press.

[mvd]

20. Rose McGowan

She's really weird, but there's something about her.

VJ Kennedy - (maybe) somewhat reformed Repug

Rachel Perry - I like those VJs.

Kelly Clarkson

Amy Lee of Evanescence

[Skittles]

21. DAVE ATTELL

I want to grease up his bald head and ride him like there is no tomorrow. YES INEED.

[dawg]

105. The insomniac guy?

Wow! There is hope for me yet.

[aljones]

22. Alan Rickman

especially in the Harry Potter movies!! I really hate to say it but the man is sexy

smile ally

[tigereye]

43. Rickman is pretty cute

I think Snape is sexy. You should check out Rickman's fanatical web site fans, pretty astonishing. The man can't move without those folks knowing about it!

[aljones]

57. I'll have to do that, nothing better than a cult following!

thanks

smile ally

[smirkymonkey]

72. I have a crush on Alan Rickman, but

I'm not ashamed about it. That voice! There is just something incredibly sexy about him. Then again, I kind of have a thing for middle-aged British guys.

[Teddy_Salad]

102. Hey!

I'm a nearly middle-aged Australian guy with an accent that closely resembles a british one.

Does that count?

[DarkPhenyx]

24. I'd definately do Ann Coulter.

I'd also do Condi. Does that count as a crush?

[aquaman]

26. your sick...........

[DarkPhenyx]

27. I dunno.

The idea of Ann screaming my name and begging appeals to me.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

29. Kevin Spacey

and yes, I know he's gay, but we're talking fantasy here, aren't we?

And Ioan Griffudd, who is young enough to be my son.

[dawg]

106. Do we know for sure that Spacey's gay ...

I've always wondered about that.

[IronLionZion]

31. The women of DU because they are smoking hot!

but I'm not ashamed!

[KittyWampus]

32. Steve Colbert... Except I'm Not Close To Being Ashamed

the guy if funny!

[lolly]

33. Damn!

Same icon, same crush.

I thought I was the only one!

[m-jean03]

34. Mel Gibson

I really , let's say ENJOY, him in the first 3 Lethal Weapons, Mad Max movies, Gallipoli, ah, Forever Young... He is a real hunk, his politics are enraging however!

[immoderate]

35. Michelle Trachtenberg

I'm old enough to be her...

...well I'm old enough!



She's a regular on Buffy...

--IMM

[Whitacre D_WI]

46. And she only turned 18 last October...

...so when you ogle her on Buffy...

You're ogling JAILBAIT!

[MikeG]

36. Mimi Rogers.

40. Oh, and you Grovelbot

I'm embarassed to be attracted to a robot, I know society won't approve of our union, but what the hell. I'm in love...

[Champ]

91. Damn!!

I wish I was GrovelBot. He only says one thing over and over again but yet he gets all the girls. But don't be embarrased, if it's true love then why care what society thinks?

[m-jean03]

103. Thanks for your support.

You'd be amazed how much RobotLoverPhobia there is on DU!

[dawg]

107. How can we flesh and blood men ever compete?

That Grovelbot, he's a lovin' machine.

[Maddy McCall]

39. I have the major hots for Vitali Klitschko

The heavyweight champ of the world AND he has two PhDs.

[camero]

41. Shania Twain

[tigereye]

44. uh Keanu

can't lelp it. My so teases me about it.

[fudge stripe cookays]

45. Erm...I had a thing for Rob Lowe in the 80s.

I had the poster in my dorm; the little white ribbed tank top and linen trousers poster.

At least he USED to be a Dem. Now that he's a Repug wanna-be, I wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole. I don't care how pretty he is.

FSC

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

48. Tell Laura I love her...

It's a joke. RELAX.

[TrogL]

50. Mary

she was featured on a Spokane Washington fix-it-up show. She was a bit of a dingbat but the show was fun and she had nice tits. (srry, i've been in the sauce)

[Liberal Veteran]

51. Bush....

...or at least their lead singer, Gavin Rossdale:

[AspenRose]

52. Gary Dourdan and Dylan McDermott.

eom

[Lydia Leftcoast]

55. Dylan McDermott--mmm

[NMDemDist2]

53. Peter Tork of the Monkeys

all the other girls were hot for Davey so I picked Peter cuz i felt sorry for him

my co-dependency issues are much better now

[richmwill]

73. Peter's cool

Haha- don't rag on Peter too much. I've met him several times (he plays a nearby music hall about once a year). You could not even imagine a nicer guy.

[NMDemDist2]

78. i'm sure-- his sweetness always rang true n/t

[Deja Q]

54. David Hasselhoff, Mike Nesmith, Timothy Dalton, Christopher Reeve,

Thom, Kyan, you can stop me at any time...

[SarahB]

56. Not Mike Nesmith- Micky Dolenz

[carols]

60. I had a crush on him too

He had a cute smile and seemed intelligent.
Carol

[ikojo]

104. I had a MASSIVE crush on Micky Dolenz in the 1980s

I went to see the Monkees as often as I possibly could. However, in 1991 I read where Micky supported the first Gulf War and I put down my Monkees records and put away my VHS tapes.

I don't know how he feels about the current Bush war. I suspect hes a pug though.

Kind of took away the illusion. I still think he was gorgeous in the 1960s, although he has not aged well.

[terrya]

99. Peter Tork was the CUTEST. I had a big crush on him.

And I have this crush on Thom Filicia...beautiful man, full sexy lips. *sigh*

Terry

[mac56]

58. Patricia Heaton

God help me, but she's hot.

[Enraged_Ape]

89. Glad you said it, not me.

I think Patricia Heaton's hot too, and she's got an incredibly sexy speaking voice. It's such a shame that she's a wingnut.

[Harrumph]

59. Hector Elizondo

I've had a crush on him for 25 years or so. I think the older he gets the sexier he is and when he gave up wearing a toupee, even better. Hubba.

[AlFrankenFan]

61. Hehehe

I'm in love with a Catholic conservative and I'm a Jewish/Agnostic liberal.

[ACK]

62. Alyson Hannigan

Ummmmm .... yummy.

On edit:
If I was a single man, I would go for Kelly Ripa in a heartbeat. She is really a beautiful woman and she is not some anorexic stick either. Yeah, despite the personality, I see the Ripa thing.

[mvd]

68. I think Alyson's always a solid choice

[rumguy]

63. not ashamed of it, but I really think Lil' Kim is cute

[belladonna]

64. The pic of Eminem reminded me

I have a thing for Eminem and I can't figure out why. Maybe it's the attitude?

[rumguy]

65. I think a lot of women who otherwise wouldn't be attracted to a white

rapper like him, I think it's the voice and the attitude, and the pure talent...

[belladonna]

66. Absolutely, he's great

Matter of fact, I'm listening to him now. Drugs are just bad, mmmkay?

As a crush on a physical level though, it perplexes me.

[mvd]

67. Not a crush of mine, but..

there's always something a little interesting about women like her, Pink, Britney, etc.

[shimmergal]

69. I'm probably the most ashamed person posting on this topic,

and it didn't quite reach crush-level intensity. But during the Afghanistan war, there were a few days when I said to myself, "Uh-huh, I can see why Rumsfeld is turning into a stud-muffin figure for women in the older crowd like me."

It didn't last, though. 99.5% of the time I just look at him as one of the thugs whom we need to throw out of office.

OT, the Big Dog has been a long-time fantasy crush figure for me, and I'm not a bit ashamed of that!

[Parrcrow]

95. Pamela Anderson

She's crass, vulgar and almost entirely made of non-biological parts but I still think she's really hot.

I also think that I'm the only person in the world who looks at her and thinks 'great legs'

on edit oops this should have been a reply to the original message.

[qwertyMike]

100. Without makeup

She's actually pretty

[LizW]

70. Robert Patrick

He plays a lot of mean mofos in the movies, but he's a sweetheart in real life.

[On the Road]

71. I Have Loved Jennifer Beals

ever since seeing Flashdance. Despite the corn in that movie. I think it's her sparkling doe-eye stare. And I saw her on TV recently -- she still looks the same now as she did in the mid-80s.

My much greater crush on Halle Berry I am not at all ashamed of. I became aware of her while watching The Flintstones movie with my daughter (about six at that time) and suddenly realizing my heart was racing. Halle gave probably her best performance in Gothika (which I thought was greatly underrated), and is much more beautiful with the long hair.

[Enraged_Ape]

90. Nothing to be ashamed of there

I think Jennifer Beals is hotter now than she ever has been, and she's a lot better actress, as well. Living proof that you CAN get better as you get older.

[On the Road]

101. Another is Paige Davis

that perkiness must appeal to me. I would love to...to....mmmm.

[richmwill]

74. Queen Latifah

I've always thought she was really hot.

[JohnOneillsMemory]

75. When I was a kid (late 60's) it was Elizabeth Montgomery of 'Bewitched.'

When I became an adult, the crush I'm NOT ashamed of was on Katherine Hepburn from the 1930s and 1940s.

But ashamed? Maybe...Sandra Bullock for being merely famous and hot.
Or...Nicole Kidman for being married to that reptile Tom Cruise.

[SarahB]

76. Mr Belvedere

[Rabrrrrrr]

79. I admit it, I actually think Anne Coulter is quite attractive

(physically, not intellectually or personality-wise or integrity-wise)

[fujiyama]

80. Deborah Norvelle

I will admit, I sorta do. She seems pretty liberal and she's good lookin.

[qwertyMike]

81. Mena Suvari

In American Beauty when she was s'posed to be underage.
Shouldn't I be ashamed of that?

And that country singer LeAnne Rimes at the time when she was underage too I think. She proably still is.
Am I sick or something?

[Taverner]

82. I admit it I think Marilyn Quayle is quite attractive

[SarahB]

83. No Dan Quayle

Wanna Swap?

[Taverner]

84. Can we trade them both for Bush and Pickles?

dressed in tights and loinclothes?

[SarahB]

85. No, Lynn and Dick

dressed in fig leaves and massage oils.

[vajraroshana]

86. Lee Majors, the Six Million Dollar Man

My parents and my brothers never knew why I was always so ready to watch that show when it came on.

We didn't have baggy pants back then in the 70s, so I'd just have to sit in the bean-bag chair and squish myself down in it so I could hide my boner.

[RFKHumphreyObama]

87. Julie Christie

She's much too old for me I know but she is so attractive. As are Diane Keaton and Sally Field. And not to mention Jennifer Warnes and Jennifer Rush.

In fact most of my serious crushes are on much older women.

[achtung_circus]

88. Jane Araf, current CNN correspondent in Iraq

When she says "back to you Arron" (or Anderson or Lou) her head tilts forward, she looks at the camera through her lashes, the corners of her mouth curl up and I go "YUM".

I not sure why.

[Red State Rebel]

92. I can't believe nobody has hit my fave - Matthew McConaughey!

What a cutey!!!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

94. LeftPeopleFinishFirst

I'm ashamed!

[gpandas]

96. katie couric n/t

[qwertyMike]

97. Christine Amanpour

Nice mouth, lips, got that exotic quality

[mvd]

98. Forgot one earlier

Alanis Morissette. She's not really beautiful OR cute, but she's cool enough to be a minor crush.

[SarahB]

108. Anthony from the Wiggles

I'm sorry, but I'd take him over Steve Burns (from Blues Clues) in a heartbeat.
