  1. R C Dean   22 years ago

    Not.

  2. Joe L.   22 years ago

    If we're discussiong the US Senate, by definition..."NOT!"

  3. andy   22 years ago

    soooooooooo not...

  4. joe   22 years ago

    Man, we gots us some ugly-assed Senators.

  5. mtc   22 years ago

    But the picture of Ted Kennedy as a giant hamburger somehow made it all worthwhile!

  6. Highway   22 years ago

    If you're talking about my senator, the answer, without going to the site for fear of actually having to see Barbara Mikulski, is an emphatic...

    NOOOOOOO! GOD NO!!!! MAKE THE HURTING STOP!!!!

  7. TWBA   22 years ago

    Who was elected to the Senate for looks not brains?

  8. TWBA   22 years ago

    John Edwards

  9. Bob   22 years ago

    Paul Sarbannes looks like the love child of Trent Lott and Bob Byrd.

  10. Hydroman   22 years ago

    Was that a Michael Moore presentation?
    Gun grabbing senators score high----
    Zell Miller,the Whig party?
    Who did the layover artistry?

  11. NoStar   22 years ago

    Patty Murray?
    Maria Cantwell?

    oh yeah, they're hot...NOT!

  12. Mo   22 years ago

    Wow, Reason Slashdotted the site.

  13. The Lonewacko Blog   22 years ago

    The site is overloaded so I'm tiding myself over thinking about Nanci Pelosi.

  14. joe   22 years ago

    Highway, what is UP with Barbara Mikulski? Does she have some kind of syndrome? Did her mother have some kind of exposure during pregnancy? That's just not normal ugly.

  15. Steve   22 years ago

    mmmm, Stephanie Herseth...

    If she's got the ways, I've got the means!

  16. Brian   22 years ago

    Well, someone ought to mention Mary Landrieu. She's the only Senator who wouldn't necessitate a 12-pack and a paper bag. Make that two paper bags. Plus the accent works. An accent that will make a guy sound like a mouth breathing goober works on a woman.

  17. Highway   22 years ago

    I tink it's cuz of growin' up in East Bawlmer, hon. Maybe goin' down'te oshin fer a vacation every year.

    Anyone who knows a Baltimore accent will be able to hear that perfectly. 🙂

    Amazingly, EJ Pipkin, no handsome contest winner himself, managed to find about the worst picture of her I've ever seen, and that's saying something, for a campaign ad against Mikulski. She looked like a mutant bulldog with teased out hair.

    Also note that BOTH of Maryland's senators got picked out in a total of 16 comments. For shame...

  18. R H   22 years ago

    Neither Olympia Snowe or Susan Collins are hot, but they aren't ugly either. I suppose my state could do a lot worse.

  19. Isaac Bartram   22 years ago

    Either Olympia Snowe used to be pretty hot or she had flattering photos taken. But lately, how can I put this?, she's not exactly aging well.

  20. agentalbert   22 years ago

    I'd shag Kay Bailey Hutchison.

  21. Stevo Threadkiller   22 years ago

    Hmmm. That Mary Landrieu is kind of a cutie. For an agent of Our Enemy, the State, that is.

    I think I'd enjoy rising up against her.

    Ditto for Stephanie Herseth.

    Hey! Fundraising idea for the Reason Foundation: Put together and sell a calendar of the hottest babes who are also fairly high-ranking political officials. Call it "Smashing Statists."

    RH -- I'm having a hard time finding an image of Susan Collins. Is this her?

  22. Mo   22 years ago

    Pelosi? Skull mask? Geez, talk about putting the Wacko in Lonewacko. She's one facelift away from a goatee.

    Geez, even Boxer and Feinstein are better. Which isn't saying much.

  23. Andrew Lynch   22 years ago

    You guys are sick! Aren't politics ugly enough? Wouldn't you rather spend your valuable bandwidth on this?

  24. Joe Majsterski   22 years ago

    Stephanie Herseth (D-SD) in the House is hot.

  25. Trey   22 years ago

    I used to have a crush on Benazir Bhutho.

  26. Stevo Threadkiller   22 years ago

    Katherine Harris of Florida is not a senator, so I guess she doesn't qualify. And in most photos her face seems craggier than I like. (Too much sun? Or cigarettes?) But if you squint, her facial structure is basically sound. Plus, there's a pic on the Internet of her sitting on a horse that shows she has a body and half. Ah, here it is:

    http://webpages.charter.net/timandlauren/harris.png

    I'd be willing to rise up against her, also.

  27. SR   22 years ago

    Definitely Stephanie Herseth...
