"hottest" US Senator?

[wyldwolf]

(from here) A Web poll is out to determine which senator is the majority leader in the looks department. So far, the candidates are narrowed down to Robert Byrd of West Virginia, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, Evan Bayh of Indiana and Joe Biden of Delaware.

Barack Obama of Illinois was left off the ballot because his "extreme hotness" would be an unfair advantage. Michigan's Carl Levin didn't do too shabbily. He got at least one write-in vote, plus the endorsement of irreverent Beltway blogger Wonkette.

1. Mary Landrieu

:)

[Jim Sagle]

8. Ahh yess...

:9

Although Sen. Boxer is just fine, and a much better Democrat.

[the_spectator]

69. You said it.

Probably the hottest major American politician, except for Governor Granholm of Michigan -

[kansasblue]

2. Barbara Boxer

[ElectroPrincess]

3. Wish there was a "None of the Above" selection ...

Whoa! Those guys should stay wealthy because it would take most to be "trophy brides" many hundred dollar bills and mind altering drugs to consider any of them "hot." :puke:

[alcibiades_mystery]

4. Not to be a turncoat, but Chuck Hagel is pretty hot

Just sayin'...

[annabanana]

7. I nominate noone from the DLC....

And the DLC needs to split off entirely and go its seperate way. No more of this corruption, and I say end it once and for all this time.

[wyldwolf]

9. nah

I say the neo-left McGovernite fringe needs to split off. Yeah.

So, making sure (if you really had that power) that no one in the DLC won "hottest Senator" would end corruption "once and for all this time?" :rofl:

[LightningFlash]

47. Hmm?

Who said anything about hottest senator? :shrug:

I was referring just to the DLC entirely as a whole, not anything about being "the hottest senator". The reason DLC isn't already a seperate party or on the other side, is because they're eisenhower republicans. I see no reason to donate any credability to the corporate.

On the other hand...

The DNC, or http://www.democrats.org might just be able to reshape this entire party and uproot it from its corrupt influences. If the people have anything to say! :yourock: :thumbsup:

[wyldwolf]

48. hmm?

Who said anything about hottest senator? :shrug:

Me. The title and point of this thread. Did you read it?

heh! That's a new one! But entirely wrong.

Here's a hint: George McGovern didn't form the Democratic party in 1972.

The DLC consists consists of the remnants of New Deal (FDR)Democrats who advocate fiscal responsibilty and a strong national defense, and former New Lefties (McGovernites) who either grew tired of the largely ineffective tactics of the New Left or who began to question the more extreme aspects of the New Left agenda. Dolstein

If DU were around in the 30s through the 40s, with the same mindset many here have, we would see calls to vote Wallace over Truman, etc.

[ElectroPrincess]

10. I sure wish they'd expand that poll to the House of Representatives

Because that Representative (R-IL) Henry Hyde is one "chick magnet."

Baby! Waddle on over here in that pair of Spedos I bought cha?!? :rofl:



BTW - Don't cha think it would be more fun to have an Anti-Hot poll instead?

[aspberger]

28. Nancy Pelosi is HOT1

n/t

[undeterred]

11. Russ Feingold of WI

[ElectroPrincess]

12. Wow!

I feel closer to him for he's literally larger than life.
BTW he could use a facial because there's a real "clogged pore" problem going on there. :P <teasing!>

On Edit: Thanks for later re-sizing. I didn't know they made PIC that big! Russ looks much better now. :-)

[undeterred]

13. I found a smaller version of the same picture

I couldn't actually find ANY pictures that make him look "hot" but he sure sounds presidential to me!

Except he needs to find a wife first....

[FreedomAngel82]

30. I could be his wife....

But then again I'm probably a bit too young (twenty-two). :9

[undeterred]

52. Probably a wife 30 years younger would draw more attention than none!

[election_2004]

14. Robert Byrd is "hot"...???

I guess I must have pretty high standards.

[Wabbajack]

16. maybe he was 50 years ago?

[DemGirl7]

59. I'm just as shocked to hear that news....

Yeah, I guess Sen. Byrd is hot, if your around the same age as him, though I have to admit that he isn't ugly for an old geezer. But I'm not into men who are 65 years older than I am. I guess the grannys and those who have a thing for old geezers must have taken over the poll. That is my only explanation for Robert Byrd being considered HOT!.:wtf:

[FrenchieCat]

15. You mean, you mean.....

that Joe "where's the camera?" Biden did not make the list? After all of that work he's had done? Damn! I know that he can't be happy about that!

[NightOwwl]

17. Evan Bayh?

Yuck...he looks like a stepford candidate.

Russ Feingold...now he's a cutie.

[Eloriel]

18. Yes, let's trivialize the Senate and individual Senators some more

And by all means, join in the shallowness and objectification.

This thread is not even Lounge-worthy.

[NightOwwl]

19. Oh come on.

Must we be 100% percent stone cold serious 100% of the time. Nobody is asking them to parade around naked, for crying out loud.

[Geek_Girl]

53. Ack! now I have an image of these old farts naked

:scared:

[Warren DeMontague]

66. Yeah, THAT'S for sure.

In terms of people and/or organizations I would like to have parade around Naked, I can safely say that the United States Senate is pretty far down the list.

I'm still trying -HARD- to get the image of the Supreme Court nude from Jon Stewart's book out of my head.

31. I was just thinking this was more of a Lounge thread

It IS rather shallow and pointless, though I don't find it offensive as you do, merely vaguely annoying.

[Warren DeMontague]

62. Clearly any discussion of physical appearance is tantamount to

"objectification".

Ohhh, Noooo! :o :o :o Quick, clutch your crinoline doily to your chest.

I wondered how long it would take the PC police to come out on this one.

Sorry, some Senators are objects. For example, the twenty (or however many it is, now, after the public shaming) Senators who avoided voting for the anti-lynching apology legislation are flaming turds, in my opinion.

I guess a flaming turd is an object.

In case you hadn't noticed, the Senate trivializes itself, every day. The occasional thread talking about how Senators look (and most of them are MEN, too :o) doesn't have jack-diddly-squat to do with that. Maybe it should be in the lounge, but I hardly think it's worth getting pissed off about.

I would say, if you don't like the thread, there are plenty others to choose from, but that's not nearly as much fun as playing censor- so, by all means- let us keep ALL discussion away from "shallowness and objectification."

Pfffft.

[Inspired]

21. These Senators are hot? NOT!

Maybe my idea of hot is different than anyone else who has responded but none of the above. Feingold? Biden? Hagel? Byrd? No, No, No, Hell no.

The only HOT U.S. Senator left office after the election.

[undeterred]

26. Tom Daschle?

:freak:

[Inspired]

38. No, not Daschle!

Beauty must be in the eye of the beholder around here!

[undeterred]

51. I'm kidding!

He wasn't the hottest, but I miss him the most.

[Inspired]

54. I miss him, too! eom.

Friggin' Republicans. I hate them all, I really do.

[Lone_Wolf_Moderate]

22. Mary Landrieu, hands down.

[tritsofme]

23. Landrieu should be on there.

I can't think of anyone else in her league.

[NightOwwl]

24. My hubbie thinks Barbara Boxer is a doll!

My hubbie has good taste. :7

[MrSlayer]

25. I don't really see any of them as particularly good looking.

There is no one in politics in the Jessica Simpson or Johnny Depp catagory of hotness.

[idlisambar]

43. I beg to differ

:-)

[GreenInNC]

50. HOT!

Thats what i am talking about!

[bigwillq]

27. Those choices suck but

I don't have any other candidates I would mention. Barack is indeed sexy!

[FreedomAngel82]

29. I prefer John Kerry

:loveya:

[ginnyinWI]

35. pic

[zann725]

46. My Prez!

He's got my vote!

[ElsewheresDaughter]

37. John Kerry

[XemaSab]

32. Justice for Barack!!!!!

Since when, in a democratic society, do we remove the person who would obviously clobber the rest of the pack?

By this logic, they never should have let FDR stand for re-election. He's just too awesome, and it's unfair for the other candidates.

[mcctatas]

45. Should we get t-shirts...

"Justice for Obama...He's just too damn hot"

[XemaSab]

55. I think tank tops

white, semi-transparent tank tops, would do the trick.

[kentuck]

33. Barbara...

:)

[HeeBGBz]

34. John Conyers

Cohones, intelligence and a won't-back-down attitude turns me on.

Is he married?

[FightinNewDem]

36. Sorry, but they retired the title...

...after Jim Traficant left town!

[GRLMGC]

39. Well, he wasn't a Senator

but its hard to beat his hotness

[Lecky]

40. I'm still trying to figure out how Robert Byrd made the list

Maybe he was a looker in his prime?

Not my favorite democrat but I think Biden is kind of sexy.

[Sugarcoated]

41. Not a Dem, but closer than any Repub - I think McCain looks very sexy

on the cover of Architectural Digest. He was definitly hot back in the day. I like that he doesn't play the good little Repub . . . most of the time.

[snowbear]

60. =Ack=

Too short.. and those chipmunk cheeks -GAG! But hey :shrug: whatever rocks your boat...

[ncrainbowgrrl]

42. From Byrd's webpage:

[burrowowl]

44. So far Obama is pretty

Democratic Lite.
Go Barbara Boxer and Ted Kennedy!

[Algorem]

49. Tex Sensenbrenner

might be the biggest hothead.

[WatchWhatISay]

56. Sexy is as sexy does

So I say Tom Harkin

[hippywife]

57. Forget that!

http://tv.channel.aol.com/greatestamerican

This is the last day and Reagan is still in the running!! Get over there and vote if you haven't yet!!


MLK gets my vote for sure!!

[Obamarama]

58. Carl Levin is my senator, and I love him like my luggage, but....

HOT he is not! :-) Russ Feingold, on the other hand, is safely in the hot zone, imho.

[snowbear]

61. This whole contest HAS to be a joke.. I mean...

Just look at who were in the last round! :puke:

"Bug-eyes Murkowski"? :wow:

"Pinchie-needle-nose Santorum"? :o

A lot of people here are responding because of the type of candidate they are.. but doesn't the contest say "looks department"?

Someone somewhere is getting a good laugh I suppose... If I had to pick one of their choices for LOOKS alone, it would have to be Bayh. Hey, :shrug: look at the choices they gave us! ACK!!!!!

[FrenchieCat]

63. Really?

Alfafa does nothing for me, fortunately!
Might be "cute"....but definitely not "Hot"!

[snowbear]

65. Yeah, well...

Cute is better than this guy:



Bring on Alfalfa! ;) :bounce: ;)

[FrenchieCat]

67. You've got a point there....

Hee, hee, hee.....

That was pretty gruesome. Those gums kinda scared the shit out of me!

Definitely no "hot" or even cold....just scary! :scared:

[Idioteque]

64. Maria Cantwell n/t

[Warren DeMontague]

68. The fact that I am a heterosexual male...

doesn't prevent me from acknowledging that both Barack Obama and Russ Feingold are damn fine looking gentlemen.

[B0S0X87]

70. [Begin vaguely homosexual comments]

Evan Bayh and Russ Feingold are both handsome indiviuduals.

[elshiva]

71. Barack Obama, Boxer, Kerry are all hot but

I do not think one can be the hottest.

[Hippo_Tron]

72. As a straight male... Gene Taylor is best looking congressperson

Russ Feingold is probably the best looking senator.

As a straight male I think most of the women are pretty unattractive , and that inlcudes Mary Landrieu. Barbara Boxer is actually decent looking, considering her age. Nancy Pelosi has had WAY too much plastic surgery.
