Bill Richardson 94th in unsexiest man list
(LINK)

Chubby presidential candidate has repped the USA in negotiations with some of the world’s scariest and weirdest dictators. Which, unfortunately, leaves the triple-chinned hopeful with precious little time for the treadmill. Chances may improve if he stays hungry — or if he accidentally eats the rest of the Democratic field onstage during the first debate.


Hey now, He's dropped some weight. Some of us are just big framed. Oh well, I'm still pulling for him to get our nomination. At least he ranked below Mitt Romney (No. 50) and Ann Coulter (No. 80).

1. Poor Bill. But which candidates are sexiest? My pick--Obama! (of course...)

2. He's be a very handsome man if he was lighter
But that should have nothing do to with anything, I'm for Kunnich and you wouldn't call him cute.

3. I don't think it's a Hispanic thing--PLENTY of hot Hispanic men. It's
just him, and his weight. Looks shouldn't matter, but they do...

4. That's about the dumbest list I've ever heard of, and we are really screwn
if that's how presidents are picked.

5. I agree about picking candidates.
I thought the list was kind of humorous. The ranking puts Richardson, IMHO, where more of us can relate to him. No one (except maybe my wife and she's biased) would put me in a sexiest man list. Richardson's appeal is not because of his perfect image but because of his abilities, knowledge, accomplishments, and positions. That's how we should judge our candidates. However, too often we don't look at their less pretty side (physical and otherwise). I've examined Richardson and all the candidates from all perspectives and he's a winner in my book.

6. He's looking remarkably dapper these days
Edited on Sat Apr-14-07 04:55 PM by Warpy
Before he decided to run for president, he always looked like an unmade bed.

To me, that's a plus. Why in the world presidential candidates are supposed to look fit and trim and like high end men's store mannequins is beyond me.

After all, look at the trim Idiot in 2000. Now look at what he turned out to be.

Maybe it's time to stop judging anyone over 40 on looks!

8. Poor Bill Richardson
Edited on Sat Apr-14-07 05:07 PM by DesertedRose
If you heard him on the MoveOn.org Town Hall Meeting on Iraq, he closed his remarks by saying he wasn't a "rock star" (you're on notice Barack and John) but that he had experience.

Poor Bill. Sounds like he KNOWS he's not exactly charasmatic.

PS-I pick "comb-licker" for my personal number one spot :puke:
And Ann Coulter on the list... :rofl:

9. And the winner is ....... Little Miss Sunshine!
Obama said it best. He recently chastised the media for being more interested in how he looks in a bathing suit than in his policies. I see a dreadful trend here: Presidential candidates lined up on an Atlantic City catwalk, competing in the swimsuit, talent, and evening attire categories.

On the other hand, all the candidates will be forced to try to look really, really, sincere when they declare that their ambition "is to promote World Peace".

13. I don't care
I still like Richardson for Prez. Or, at least, SecState. He can be as unsexy as he wants to be. Besides, he'll never out-sexy the Big Dawg. I'd still do him in a heartbeat - and I wouldn't tell afterwards! :D
