Just proving once again that politics really is a beauty pageant, the publication The Hill puts out their "Hottest on the Hill" list. The only consolation? Nancy Pelosi is on the list.

Is Nancy Pelosi on the list as stenographer?

I'd hit it.

er I MEAN - WTF ARE THEY DOING?!

BennyP's picture

Maybe this will inspire someone to make a 'Most Ugly' list- spotlighting the corrupt and morally bankrupt? You could even use the same pics and quotes.

Another stupidity nail in this sinking country's coffin.

"Just proving once again that politics really is a beauty pageant"

other acceptable answers:

1 politics really is just a matter of who sucks harder and faster on the corporate teet

2 politics is the handiest way to further delude americans that our voice counts

Sorry, but Republican Crystal Hayslett is HOT.

This is why we are doomed. This is the depth of thinking that the average Americans wants to engage in.

Fanon's picture

So, we really are on the verge of having our president elected ala American Idol, aren't we. You're right, we are doomed.

Bonkers's picture

We are SO stupid.

Wow, I actually know one of these people, fancy that!

Is Jean Schmidt on the list?

I'll hold of from being the one to say that DC is Hollywood for ugly people, because that would be a wrong and bad thing to say.

No we are doomed because people like ysbaddaden at #2 think that Nancy Pelosi is also the enemy along with the fascist, neocon, Republicans.

Did anyone else notice the sarcasm in the Nancy Pelosi caption? None of the other writers pulled that crap with their captions.

Kathleen O’Neill looks real, hmmm, well, errrr......smart.

Thank god we aren't at war while this sort of silliness is going on. It would just look so distasteful. (snark)

Wow.....you mean the government isn't just made up of old, wrinkly, fat men? There are actually women? and hot ones? WOW

To the Republican ladies on the list: why aren't y'all home making babies?

I'm waiting for Cafferty to make this the subject of a Cafferty file e-mail question,

Wolf can stop obsessing over Hillary's cleavage,

Larry can stop doing the Tammy Faye thing,

and Glenn Beck can take a copy of The Hill into the men's room...

Ugh... that's fucking embarrassing. It's not cute or fun or light-hearted, it's a disgrace. Now we're going to have a bunch of idiots arguing over which party has the most "total hotties!!!@12".

For real! What is Nancy doing on the list?
She's hotter that Hastert, but what does THAT say?

I think that this has nothing to do with the tastes of Americans for their politics, but more to do with media engaged in voyeurism.

Sorrily, this really picked up with Smiling Billy C. most fuckable prez ever!

So it's official: Sex is the media's preferred distraction for the next election cycle.

Train's picture

Funny how 90% the intensely bitching looking girls (zero smile/angry, buttoned down from head to toe aside from the couple that were obviously proud to be sporting their well purchased flotation devices) were all Republican.

Go figure. :P

I think we could use the oil from their hairdos to run my car! Then we wouldn't need to invade Ira(q/n).

For those of you freaking out - I'd remind you that it's almost August and this city, for better or worse, shuts down for a month. This is just a sign that people need something to talk about between now and Labor Day.

Oh okay... since the politicians are vacationing, any sense of journalistic integrity ought to as well?

These are the Hottest on the Hill. A group of people protected by a suit of armor all held together by one bolt.

Yup, I can't think of a single issue out there that's worth discussing. Why focus on the Iraq invasion??? All those deaths and wasted $billions can be such a downer. Also, that would require Americans to think....not an easy thing for them to do. Much better to just sit back with the remote control and stare at insultingly stupid programming while gorging on high-fat, high-sugar crap.

Correction: old, wrinkly, fat, WHITE RICH men makes up the government. The women, blacks, asians, youth, VETERANS and middle-class are just "window-dressing" to enhance their marketability...

When on the Capital docket were glamour shots scheuled? "Excuse me Congressman, we need to vote on that bill." "No, no, no. I haven't heard from my top aide yet. He's still out taking his senior photos for the yearbook."

Well I agree. I do think Nancy and Hillary are HOT....

The cameras kept refusing to capture her image.

And now for another episode of The Gong Show..

Uh O!. It's Jean, Jean, The Ranting Machine.

Boot her her crazy arse off of the stage Chuck, please!.

Yes - and i do say this with all seriousness - Pelosi is a a hot grandma!

:)

Jack Damage's picture

Well, this sure is a sort of shallow thread and subject.. But then the D.C. navel gazers thought enough to make a thing of it... And hell, I can't bitch about George 24/7... No, really I can't, it would drive me totally over the rainbow nuts to do that... Even though he deserves it.. So... in the interest of shallow vapid voyeurism and papperazi style paper thin politics, I had a look....

Wow-wee, well, it sure won't ever be confused for porn... That's certain... For the record, such as it is in this case... And without a lot of detail, the girls all looked pretty good to me.. Even the repub types... (No accounting for political sense) and all the guys looked pretty damned boring...Like extras from the new T.V. show 'mad men'... stuffy, starched, uptight looking and mostly white.. The one black dude kinda looked like he had some sort of rastaman/hop-hop mogul in a suit type cool going on... Don't know how he makes that work inside the beltway with all the rest of the anal b.s. going on there.....Yawn... I guess I'm dun pissing away my time with this goofy shit......Shoulda just looked for the music thread I guess............JD

Jack Damage's picture

P.S.... Well maybe not so much with grandma Nancy... But I am willing to bet Nancy probably was a hottie maybe 40 or 45 years ago....jus sayin... I bet her grandkids still think the world of her...
anyways...............JD

Sono Bono was boring too... Mary must have a thing for boring men. :lol:

Damn, I didn't make the list again!

Looks like there are more Democrats than Republicans. HA! Democrats are hotter! (but we knew that already.)

Capt. Bat Guano's picture

I am so sick of the children of the wealthy and/or privelaged, no wonder the working class has been fucked since day one. We need a program for the OVER privelaged youth of america, you know tutoring inner city kids, fixing up our national parks and hiking trails, collecting roadside garbage..... Since I'm on a good rant let's try this on. Remember the old "Don't trust anyone over thirty" saying, how about "Don't trust anyone making over $100,000 a year"?

Straight Shooter's picture

Weird, but I could tell just by looking at them, before reading the captions, which were Dems and which were Repubs. I only missed one of them, a Dem who definitely looked like a Repub.

Looks like Victoria's Secret Wonderbra is a big hit with the Repub women.

"The only consolation? Nancy Pelosi is on the list."

Why is that Nicole? I don't understand. So because some of these reps are "hot" it makes them better reps?? I mean, sure, ol' Nancy is pretty good looking for an older gal, and it's obvious she takes care of herself quite well, but what exactly is the reason for this having anything to do with doing their jobs? Boy, America, home of the vain. Hey maybe Faux News will turn it into another reality tv series.........American Representative Idol.....

Arroyo's picture

Crystal Hayslett, an aide to Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), dates former Memphis Grizzlies forward Lawrence Roberts. She can tuck into a back flip from a standing start. Oh, and she’s beautiful.... Crystal says staying grounded is the best way to defeat insecurity. Her religious faith is a source of strength: “I’m very into God.”

Then why is she dating an NBA player?

It sounds like a good idea for trading cards. But, just to be fair, we can include the democrats too.

Jerry Falwell

Tom DeLay
Denny Hastert
Mitt Romney (for his unctuousness)

Yo, E Rocks!'s picture

This really is beyond the pail... is this publication worth anything? I mean Kucinich, Obama, and Edwards aren't in the top ten? Come on.

If you're going to rate the aides and the wives fo the aides, you might as well go on and give us "Foley's Interns" and "Vitter's Call Girls." Seriously.

Now, those are calendars that might actually sell and not make people sick to the stomach.

You listening, Mr. Flynt?

Why the hell did I read any of this.

LanceThruster's picture

I'll give a sh*t when they do a hottest dead and maimed casualties from the GWOT so we know what we have truly lost. And I care no less for those not so hot who have been taken too soon (squandered actually) as they were most likely to find meaning and enjoyment in their lives and bring some happiness into the lives of those that loved them as well.

Until then, those on the Hill have NO time for such frivolities. That being said, I was glad they chose a wide range of ages and ethnicities as all of them had their points (at least the women did). As I guy I have no ability to judge the looks of guys overall because some who were supposedly thought of as 'hot' looked like 'dorks' to me (and I'm no prize - just sayin').

no longer a proud american's picture

pelosi is on my list as well, my shit list. where's the impeachment?????

Would anyone really pay for a sceenplay that had the last six years of unbelievable events in it? The hubris to have a stupid list like this when we are in such a horrible mess because of those people and their lack of spine and humanity.

Target the Eye of the Pyramid. DC 9/11/07 Let freedom shout and yell and ring.

If we are going down in flames as a country, let's at least enjoy the ride.

I can think of two babes on that list that I'd like to see in a tasteful nude pictorial. And they were Democrats.

It's completely wrong, I know. But, I'm being doped with religion, sex and TV and I think I'm so clever and classless and free.

Well now America's known worldwide for something besides torture, war, and extreme rendition:
