Who is the Sexiest Woman in Politics??

[Sushi Bandit]

my vote is congresswoman Loretta Sanchez!

[LynneSin]

1. What does sexiness have to do with it?

Personally any woman (or man) out there fighting for the democracy created by our founding fathers, peace and justice is considered beautiful. I would like to think we have a greater deal of respect for our women politicians than a "sexiest poll" contest. It's insultive to all the democratic women out there fighting on our team!

[seventhson]

3. Hell, Clinton was admittedly sexy

It's human nature to like the sexy ones. And if they can lead and be sexy what is wrong with that? I think it's a good thing.

[Sushi Bandit]

4. Chill out...

there is a reason behind the question...

Sex appeal is an important factor in the viability of a politician to garner support. Remember that a poll in the 60's found that the sex appeal of the Kennedy's greatly helped them in their elections. Jackie Kennedy was also used very effectivly to help with the male vote.

As far as your statement "it's insultive to ALL the democratic women out there fighting on our team!" I'm sorry that your insulted but please speak only for yourself. Not all women feel the same as you.

[AngryYoungMan]

7. Oh, get off it...

This is what gives the Left a bad name. (And no, before you give me a hard time about that last statement, I don't mean it...it's facetious.)

Discussing who's sexy is a fun pasttime that people enjoy. Further, limiting the field to within arbitrary parameters (newscaster, politician, teacher at your school, employee at your office etc.) makes the "game" more challenging and fun; otherwise everyone would just say "Angelina Jolie" or "Brad Pitt" or "my wife" or whatever. It does not mean that everyone's brain fell out. It doesn't mean that we're all slaves to our glands. It's just a topic for discussion.

We can discuss "sexiness" without forgetting its place in the scheme of things.

ON EDIT:
removed stupid mistake

12. Sexiness and Respect aren't mutually exclusive...

... let's try and give people here on DU the benefit of the doubt. We are, afterall, all on the same team. We are all bound together by common principles.

I didn't detect any disrespect in Sushi's original post. Almost the opposite, I had a sense of admiration.

It's all a matter of what you're listening for, I guess.

2. She's hot but I like............

Cynthia McKinney

[DEM FAN]

5. For Me It's Debbie Stabenow Of Michigan.

Cynthia McKinney

[JackSwift]

8. LORETTA SANCHEZ!!!!

Wooooo!

[dragonquest8]

10. I love her

:loveya:

[caribmon]

9. How about Cicciolina?

The Hungarian/Italian Politician?



Cicciolina, the Italian porn star with the innocent face who flaunted her naked body in public arenas and was elected Member of Parliament in 1986. Spanning from her poor childhood in Hungary to her worldwide successes, including her outrageous public performances, her amazing political career, her marriage with the American pop-artist Jeff Koons, their divorce and the trial for the custody of their child, she was certainly a phenomena in the European political arena.

[WCGreen]

15. Mary Landreau, hands down...

she is a very sexy woman because she is confident, sure of herself and very smart, and, she took on the Bush Machine and won and in my book, that trumps everything...........

Lorretta is second and Ms. Pelosi is also very hot.

Hey, what do I know. I'm in my late forties.........

[The Sushi Bandit]

23. Pix of Mary & Nancy

Nancy Pelosi

Mary Landreau

[Jim Sagle]

16. Mary Landrieu - no contest.

Then Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, and Cynthia McKinney.

[stoner_guy]

56. Yikes no!

Pelosi and Boxer are from my state. They are both really hard on the eyes.

[JackSwift]

No! Wait! I change my mind!

Dianne Feinstein! She's got that whole Katherine Hepburn shaking and wrinkly thing going!

[The Sushi Bandit]

44. that is TOO funny!

[5thGenDemocrat]

17. Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm

Whip smart, diplomatic, feminine and very, very blonde.
John
First governor of this fair state younger than I am. Which may not be a good thing for me, chronologically and mortally speaking.
Someone post a pic, please.

[ACK]

21. Isn't nothingshocksmeanymore in politics?

If so, she gets my vote. I saw her picture in the posts awhile back and she is really lovely.

[Ediacara]

24. Maria Cantwell

Although I'm gay, and I'm basing this more off of "pretty" than "sexy."




EDIT: getting better photos.

[northernsoul]

27. hey DINO, how is GLBT life in MT?

I have a cousin from Hardin who felt like she absolutely, positively had to get the hell outta MT.

My best friend's uncle's partner (how's that for convoluted?) grew up in Billings and said he was afraid for this life there in the 80's.

maybe things are different in Mizoo, though?

[underpants]

26. How much trouble will I get in if I say........................

Katherine Harris?

Hey look I think she's is hot. I can't stand her but I think she is hot, she's built like brick...........

Loretta Sanchez is easy on the eyes.

[GOPisEvil]

28. My state Rep., Dawnna Dukes!

She's one of the Ardmore 51, too! :bounce:

Although, I have to agree with Senor Pitt, too.

edit - picture

[GalleryGod]

39. WoW! Dawnna's Got it-goin;-On!

To quote the Late Great Jimmy Durante:

A horse's ass on top of a horse. :puke:

[northernsoul]

45. touché, Ronny!

apparently our Katherine Harris enamored friend has finally been tombstoned.
I'll try to fight back the tears.

[ronnykmarshall]

48. 900 + Posts?

Is that a record for a freeper? What a maroon. He let his Katherine Harris worship become his downfall!

[The Sushi Bandit]

46. I'm impressed!

[samsingh]

43. Hillary

Clinton is gorgeous and sexy

[The Sushi Bandit]

47. Come on! There must be more canidates out there!!

[Shrek]

49. Two words : Margaret Thatcher

hubba hubba hubba

:evilgrin:

[JohnKleeb]

50. oh bloody ell no

Now that we go to the Isles. Ive seen pictures of young Bernadette Devlin McAliskey in the 70's and she was pretty good looking. She's still pretty cool today although I dont find her attractive. Devlin if you dont know is an Northern Irish socialiist nationalist and has promoted peace, and the bastards in this country sent her back because of her opposition to the war. I think she is also called a femenist too. She was a MP at 23!
and for Lady Thatcher :puke:

[The Sushi Bandit]

51. So find us a picture!

[JohnKleeb]

60. ok

I couldnt find one.

[KamaAina]

52. HI Legislature: Rep. Sylvia Luke and Sen. Suzanne Chun Oakland

disclaimer: both are at least nodding acquaintances!

And now, Rep. Luke:



and Sen. Chun Oakland!



I once worked for a fellow who somehow got some face time with Rep. Luke -- and spent the entire time chivvying her! "Oooh, nice wedding ring. Is that new?" Mercifully I am now gainfully employed elsewhere...

Edit: Needless to say, both are Dems. Repuke women (and men) all too often look as though they'd just bitten into a sour pickle.

[maxanne]

54. so...

*gasp*

Who get's the tiara?

:puke:

[Kamika]

55. can we vote for ourselfes?

im pretty political :)

[Blue-Jay]

57. I got one!

So my band gets hired to play at a friend's wedding reception... They hire a caterer who's chef has a special dish, and insists on making a big production out of it.

Dinner is ready to be served, and the chef runs out of the kitchen, high-stepping to some weird music into the crowd, and holding a huge pan of flaming chicken parts above his head. (one-handed, mind you). As he rounds a corner, he slips and the flaming chicken part go EVERYWHERE, setting some kid's pants on fire. The kid runs around screaming (he was about 10 years old) with his pants ablaze, and proceeds to jump into the large vat of iced beer.

Thankfully, his leap into the ice extinguished the blaze, and he was frazzled but unhurt. The poor chef spent the rest of the night shaking and freaking out, probably imagining the ensuing lawsuit. No real harm was done, and nobody was sued. God bless America. Still, it was pants-crappingly funny.

_________________________________________________________

Another crazy story: Last year, my fiance told me that she needed to take a weekend off by herself to "think about things". It was a month before our scheduled wedding. She returns home and tells me that she "doesn't think it's a good idea that we get married." I deal with it and we part ways, without any major animosity towards each other. Nine months (to the DAY) later she gives birth to Benjamin Michael. No, there's no chance that he's mine, trust me. WooHoo is that ever a craaaazy story!

OK. The first story is funnier.

[Sushi Bandit]

58. I think you posted the wedding story to the sexiest woman thread!

[Redleg]

59. I think she wants me- look how she's looking into my eyes and smiling

Yeah right- so much for the fantasy. She is attractive- is she also a good representative?
