And by the way, if we were rating the hottest new congresswomen, how many would we have to choose from? Probably not 90. Listen to how men talked about Palin during the campaign. Turnabout is fair play, and it is not like this was a piece suggesting that they would be better congressmen because they were good looking. It was a harmless exercise. Just because there might be an outcry about one thing doesn't meand there should be an outcy about another. Relax, sir. This is officially the least significant thing that I have ever felt the need to argue about.Matt F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18246998355550525395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344202303192701972.post-62347064855369682332009-01-31T00:45:00.000-05:002009-01-31T00:45:00.000-05:00What I really loved about this story was the money...What I really loved about this story was the money quote:<BR/><BR/>"God doesn't care who wins or loses.

And it pissed me off. I mean, there would be legitimate outcry if it was a contest for the hottest freshman chick congresswomen, right? We would be objectifying women and treating them like sex objects. So, I was angered by the double-standard, and felt that if I posted the link, I would be endorsing it.Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16836469722651598246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344202303192701972.post-1374824800241451532009-01-31T00:08:00.000-05:002009-01-31T00:08:00.000-05:00I must point at that athletes incessantly thanking...I must point at that athletes incessantly thanking God for their victories on the field does grate on my nerves.<BR/><BR/>However, my main reason to post is to help Drew out. I know he would never point this out, lest we think he actually did have a man crush, but my wife notified me that Tom Perriello is one of five finalists on Huffington Post for sexiest new Congressman. The bad news is that he is fourth out of the five in the online poll (not the best pictures in the world). So go vote, and make your voices heard one more time. And don't vote for that 27 year old Republican, even if he is dreamy and younger that all of us.Matt F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18246998355550525395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1344202303192701972.post-40803328816763827702009-01-30T22:00:00.000-05:002009-01-30T22:00:00.000-05:00good piece and much to think aboutgood piece and much to think aboutAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
