GOP Vixen Crowns World's Sexiest Male (sigh) Leader

I would say this is for the ladies, but let's face it, Junichiro Koizumi of Japan is hot in way that causes even straight men to turn to twitching sexual jelly.

Uhhh, not really.

I think this exercise in drawing blood from a turnip proves the truism that politics is show business for ugly people.

First off, have these women ever seen Tony Blair's teeth? Obviously. . . no. I'd have to say no. Definitely not.

And, while I'm confidently heterosexual, I have to say that Victor Yushchenko is the hottest leader out there.

Yeah, his face is all effed up from the nearly-fatal dioxin poisoning, but that's like a beauty mark-- it offsets his naturallly rugged good looks.

Plus, it reminds the viewer every time you see him that "Damn, this guy survived an assassination attempt with fucking dioxon, that's bad ass!"

That, and he kinda looks like a white guy version of Seal.

Cheers,
Dave at Garfield Ridge

Yushchenko? Definitely hot. But imagine him if he had a stainless steel hook instead of a left hand. We'd be talking Jude Law hot . . .

And don't hate Ted Kennedy because he's beautiful. Hate him because he's Ted Kennedy . . .

Sexiest World Leader? That phrase certainly is elastic.

Posted by: 72 Dicks on August 5, 2005 03:40 PM

Hook? Hmmm. . . I can dig that.

Then again, I'm pretty sure he's got one of these already.

Harvey Keitel in "The Piano"…perfection of the male physique IMO.

Granted...he's not a politician but who cares. That glorious body was a thing of beauty.

He’s at the top of my “men I’d be willing to have straight sex with” list.

I'm surprised the winner wasn't Yasser Arafat posthumously given his rugged good looks!

Proving, once again, that even smart women get just downright stoopid when a man has a British accent.

TONY BLAIR??

We definitly have hotter guy politicians here in the U.S. I aint naming names cuz a few are Democrats.

None of the leaders at GOP Vixen's site did anything for me though. But the remards were hilarious!

err.. that would be "remarks."

twitching sexual jelly

Sounds like a good name for a band. Or a strip club for those who are into the heavier honeys.

Posted by: compos mentis on August 5, 2005 05:18 PM

Ten comments on hottest male world leaders, and eight of them are from guys.

"straight" guys.

Okay.

I think I'm just going to give everyone what they want and turn this into a Cher fan site.

Posted by: ace on August 5, 2005 05:48 PM

You brought it up.

Posted by: TheDude on August 5, 2005 05:59 PM

Look here. All these straight males talking about how sexy male political leaders is making me very uncomfortable. I mean, I'm glad you are all secure with yourselves, but ... Ick! Do you have to go flaunting your lifestyles in public like that?

Somethings you just don't want to read about.
Did I mention... Ick?

Posted by: Log Cabin on August 5, 2005 06:20 PM

Too bad it specifies male; otherwise, Yulia Tymoshenko would be a shoo-in...

http://www.altavista.com/image/results?pg=q&stype=simage&imgset=2&q=yulia%20tymoshenko

She's got a sort of Princess Leia mystique to her. Speaking in my capacity as a geek, I say that's kinda tough to beat.

Posted by: Nate Brittany on August 5, 2005 06:25 PM

You brought it up.

Yeah, but that was just to kiss up to GOP Vixen, and to do a little somethin' fo' the ladies.

What's your excuse?

Posted by: ace on August 5, 2005 06:39 PM

Whatever happened to Beazair(sp?) Bhuto, is she still a "world leader"? Hatchi matchi.

Posted by: Dave Munger on August 5, 2005 06:57 PM

Yushchenko was definitely hot before he got poisoned. He doesn't even look like the same man anymore. Will his face ever recover?

later,
bbeck

Not gay either, can't even tell if men are handsome unless they are in a James Bond/Cary Grant way. But Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu has always struck me as a good-looking guy. He used to be their PM, may be again someday.

Posted by: Moonbat_One on August 6, 2005 04:28 AM

Ace,

With a crowd like this, you know you are just baiting the latent homosexuals. I have no problem with this, but you had to expect it.

By the way, when you switch the format can you keep the open thread? I hate to be too constrained when discussing Cher.

Legacy media isn’t just fake news, it’s also full of Hamas-sourced, terrorist propaganda: Fox News, AP, CNN, Others Ran With Massive Hamas-Sourced Fake News, Then the Surveillance Video Came Out. “Multiple press outlets…ran with a report early Sunday morning claiming Israeli forces randomly opened fire on civilians gathered to collect aid. Sourced by ‘health officials’ and ‘witnesses,’ the claim involved dozens being killed and ‘at least’ 175 injured.” It wasn’t true. But our loathsome media wanted it to be true, so they reported it anyway. [Buck]

MORE COWBELL: TRUMP CHOPS TRADE DEFICIT IN HALF

Karoline Leavitt
@PressSec

President Donald J. Trump's economic agenda is working: inflation is down, income is up, and the trade deficit just fell by the largest amount on record.

Today's economic report follows multiple robust jobs reports, below-expectation inflation reports, and a strong bump in consumer confidence.

President Trump continues to prove doomsday "experts: wrong with his America First economic agenda that's delivering for the American people.

HUGE: INFLATION FALLS TO 0.1%, OR 2.1% FOR THE YEAR -- JUST OVER THE FED'S 2.0% GOAL
Will the partisan fed chief continue insisting that he has to keep interest rates jacked up?
Also remember that personal income is surging, apparently without creating too much price inflation

Personal income surges under Trump, after years of falling under Professor PoopedHisPants

(Link Fixed) Glenn Reynolds on ~~the elites~~ the Glittering Mediocrities finally having heard the dissatisfaction from the Actually Productive Classes with the 2024 third election of Donald Trump:

Well, now they've heard it, and they've also heard that a lot of Americans resent the meritocrats' insulation from what's happening elsewhere, especially as America's unfortunate record over the past couple of decades, whether in economics, in politics, or in foreign policy, doesn't suggest that the "meritocracy" is overflowing with, you know, actual merit.
In the United States, the result has been Trump. In Britain, the result was Brexit. In both cases, the allegedly elite -- who are supposed to be cool, considered, and above the vulgar passions of the masses -- went more or less crazy. From conspiracy theories (it was the Russians!) to bizarre escape fantasies (A Brexit vote redo! A military coup to oust Trump!) the cognitive elite suddenly didn't seem especially elite, or for that matter particularly cognitive.
In fact, while America was losing wars abroad and jobs at home, elites seemed focused on things that were, well, faintly ridiculous. As Richard Fernandez tweeted: "The elites lost their mojo by becoming absurd. It happened on the road between cultural appropriation and transgender bathrooms." It was fatal: "People believe from instinct. The Roman gods became ridiculous when the Roman emperors did. PC is the equivalent of Caligula's horse."

No way! Freed hostage reveals which presidential candidate his terrorist captors wanted to win the 2024 election. Would you believe Hamas are fans of Kamala Harris?

Biden on reports of his mental and physical decline: "I'm mentally incompetent, I can't walk, and I can beat the hell out of both of them"
By "both of them," he means Tapper and Thompson. Biden has been bragging he can beat people up for a long time. The older he gets, the bigger his Dementia Muscles get.
I think he's trying to be sarcastic but he's finally telling the truth. More:

REPORTER: There's also been a lot of discussion recently about your mental and physical capabilities while you were in office.

BIDEN: You can see that I'm mentally incompetent and I can't walk, and I can beat the hell out of both of them.

REPORTER: Do you want to reply to any of those reports, and also to the fact that there are some Democrats who are now questioning whether you should have run for reelection in the first place?

BIDEN: Why didn't they run against me then? Because I'd have beaten them.

REPORTER: Do you have any regrets?

BIDEN: No, I don't have any regrets.

Note that a "journalist" opened this line of questioning by asserting, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, that Biden "looks good" and "speaks powerfully."
But how could they report that? Did they have insiders confirming that? Did they have a medical doctor certifying he "looks good" and "speaks powerfully?"

Biden gives shpeesh on "American democrashhy" which includes lots of unhinged yelling, a weird triple repetition of the same line, and coughing
Jake Tapper says you can't report that he continues to slur his words without a Democrat Party-approved expert confirming that he's slurring words, or a Biden insider admitting it
