uh

Basically what am getting from that is that I would have gotten bucketloads of ass had I gone into politics.

Date them all one by one for a reality show.

I just mean that clicking through the first three pages shows like two attractive women surrounded by legions of grimbos.

Wait a minute here. This lady - Melissa Adamson "The globetrotter":

http://thehill.com/images/stories/capital_living/2009/top40/photo10.jpg

IS 33?!

I'm calling BS on that.

She's 33 in base 16.

Good for them for not being ageist, but MAXINE WATERS?

she's 33 if she's a hardcore smoker

I don't know that any # of cigarettes could age someone that quickly. I know she's a fair-skinned redhead but if she really is 33 then that's sorta tragic.

I'm 33 and I am a hardcore smoker. Still calling BS.

RIGHT?? I mean you look AT LEAST 10 years younger than that lady.

“All the members tease me. They say, ‘Have you brought your walking shoes?’ ” she laughs. “I say, ‘Yeah, my three-inch heels.’ It’s a longstanding joke.”

Weathered and unfunny! What a catch!

there have to be better people who said no to this, right

hahaha that would be a great blog post title for this

Yeah it would. lol.

i mean i understand "hot, for washington" is a phrase but boy oh boy

this dude is freaking me out

http://thehill.com/images/stories/capital_living/2009/top10/photo6.jpg

HAHAHAHAHA me too! I scrolled past him really quickly. His face is all squished down at the bottom. CREEPY!

I'm 33 and I am a hardcore smoker. Still calling BS.

The only way that lady's 33 is if she spent 10 years in the womb.

age was the least of my concerns there -- for a moment I was really frightened that Kathy Griffin had gotten involved in politics

grimbos

hahahahaha

thanking you

guys, it's DC. people here are 40 when they're 25.

a friend of mine writes for the hill and really hates doing this shit. has to be a bummer, they're all v serious journalists and this edition invariably gets all the attention.

cap hill world is so weird. also have a couple friends who work there & somehow they manage to be restrained, friendly, diplomatic, never express frustration with liberal groups even if they're insanely dysfunctional, work 80+ hour weeks, network without seeming tacky, even if they gripe a little they're even tempered about it.. it's like they're from a different planet.

A high-school friend made this list a few years back, but it looks like that edition is offline. He still gets a Wonkette mention, though (K33gan Drak3)

ice cream ice cream ice cream paint job! now i have that song in my head!

i should try and find out if cap hill people actually sort of promote themselves for this type of list. (i think we know the answer.) because if i were asked, i'd be like hell no.

Sally Stone, a staff assistant to Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), calls to mind a windswept Greek or Roman goddess.

I think that person is right.

She's "handsome"

Since when did "Greek or Roman goddess" become a synonym for "farmgirl"?

The word is 'statuesque'

I don't think she's a farmgirl at all.

Nose is too straight & narrow to be a farmgirl. Oval face and strong-ish jaw also belie that title. Farmgirls have Cabbage Patch Kid-noses.

http://thehill.com/images/stories/capital_living/2009/top40/photo39.jpg

Relationship status: Has a “hella serious girlfriend”

It's the nose that elicits the comparison.

Suggest it is also the deep dimples at corners of mouth, but yes, mostly the nose. And the overall oval-ness of the face.

Based on the district, she's probably from one of the ritzy Houston suburbs.

Cut off her hair and she looks a little like Gerard Butler.

Cut off her hair and she looks a little like Gerard Butler.

Alternate ending to 'The Ugly Truth'? Butler murders Katherine Heigl and then spends the rest of his life wearing her hair and working in Republican politics.

Fuck you, Michael, for destroying my hope that would be the real ending.

I'm sure it would greatly improve the movie.

It sure would be fun when McCaul went to grope 'her', too.

I would say looks somewhat Mediterranean, and is pleasantly attractive, and possibly has a fan pointed at her

"Bronwyn Lance Chester"

Best name. . . ever? Esp. if he goes by Bron.

i wonder if it's understood by all to be silly, and the people in it are just being good sports, or if the people in it actually do think it's a big deal, and subtly encourage their colleagues to put them up for it. or a combination of both.

see DC has those weird exclusive groups like Capital Club (guys) and The Madison (girls) so.. i dunno. there's this sorority/fraternity world that i don't understand. exclusive groups in general, ugh

It's weird--I'm not American, so I've never heard of any of these people, but 9 times out of 10 I could guess their party just from their photos.

nobody has ever heard of these people. (except for a few actual elected officials.)

Garcia says she didn’t want to be on this year's list, and she blames her boyfriend, Jon-Marc Blalock, a legislative assistant for Rep. Mary Bono Mack (R-Calif.), for nominating her. In his nomination, she says he described Garcia, who has curly brown hair and big brown eyes, as “sultry,” “sexy” and “curvaceous.”

“It was really sweet,” she says. “He says it to me. I didn't think he could put it on paper.”

Republican girl is very Classical in features.

Only actually hot man in here is the Swedish guy who's on the same page as the only hot woman (black woman in green dress).

"I love Malcolm Gladwell. I would marry him if he was available,” Johnson said.

"But only if Fareed Zaharia and Michael Pollan, were taken," she hastened to add. "Or that guy who wrote 'Who Moved My Cheese.'"

She says she keeps her hair shiny by using a family recipe: She mashes up an avocado with olive oil, rubs the mixture into her hair and lets it sit under a shower cap for an hour. When she washes it out, it shines like a freshly waxed limousine.

Okay, this is making me ashamed of myself because one of the republicans is extremely hottt.

Stephenson wears brightly colored outfits that give away her Hispanic heritage. She continually brings in different regional cuisines for lunch. She has sometimes been described as "saucy". Occassionally, you can find Stephenson speaking her native language, which is Spanish.

Kate Bolduan is happy to dissuade anyone who thinks television news is nothing but glamour. "I think the viewers cut us some slack," the Indiana native says. "If it comes down to making one final phone call or putting on lipstick, I’ll make that one final phone call every time. Presentability - that's not what's important to me. It's all about the viewers."

Palisi organizes “Where My Pitches At?,” a team composed of the staffs of Renacci and Rep. Bob Gibbs (R-Ohio).

How does Rep. Aaron Schock not make this list, btw?

lol Rubio is in there

I think my favorite thing about this is the obsequious, Hello-magazine style of the writing

Why is it that most of these are years younger than I am but look about 10 years older?

Oh, I guess Schock was on it in 2009 and you can't appear more than once.

The Minnesota native says he makes a concerted effort to be well-rounded and “is always looking to experience life in a new or different way.”

Yet she seems to have had little trouble fitting right in with [Rep. Todd Young (R-Ind.)]’s staff: She’ll be the third aide working in his office to make the 50 Most Beautiful People list.

“I wasn’t scared of the gorillas because I felt really calm with them, but I knew that they were in charge,” said Kohnstamm, a legislative aide to Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.). “The silverback went from being lazy and napping to a full-on sprint [at another gorilla] 15, 20 feet in front of us. I was just awestruck. It was the most amazing thing.” He took a breath and tilted his head upwards. Kohnstamm’s laid-back and open-minded demeanor immediately puts you at ease. “I’m a really mellow guy. Not much gets under my skin or ruffles me very much,” he said with a smirk. “That's what will make me a good fit for Congress. That and my experience with gorillas.”

http://thehill.com/images/stories/news/2011/07_july/50MB2011/32_michaelwoestehoff.jpg

For Michael Woestehoff, what began as distaste for noisy nightspots evolved into a thriving pastime.

At the Washington, D.C. “intern bars” that he used to frequent with his friends, Woestehoff was often frustrated by the ruckus that forced him to shout his conversations.

So the National Indian Education Association’s communications director began recommending hotel bars to his friends instead, figuring that “it’s better to splurge on a better drink and have a better conversation.”

Woestehoff, strikingly tall, has a soft voice but laughs readily — mostly at others’ jokes, not his own.

“I'm not really that funny,” he admits

When she washes it out, it shines like a freshly waxed limousine.

With parents who both had children from their first marriages, Carlos Fleites said he has always considered himself the “mutt” of his family.

Yet his strong jaw and bright smile show that Fleites’s good looks are as pure as they come.

The serious-looking Fleites, a staff assistant to Rep. David Rivera (R-Fla.), has velvety brown eyes, and his face often crinkles into a dazzling grin. His skin is astoundingly soft, yet it carries a masculine sense of gruffness that excites and amazes. He carries a musk that is slightly sensual, though not overwhelmingly so.

“Making friends just happens,” he said. “All I have to do is make eye contact.”

She says she keeps her hair shiny by using a family recipe: She mashes up an avocado with olive oil, rubs the mixture into her hair and lets it sit under a shower cap for an hour. When she washes it out, it shines like a freshly waxed limousine. But her hair look like shit.

He carries a musk that is slightly sensual, though not overwhelmingly so."

not pictured: dazzling grin

no cut/uncut status on any of these?

not smellable: slightly sensual musk, which Rivera "carries" (in his pocket?)

it's like, I can't even blame senators and congressmen for cheating on their spouses all the time. these people...they're just too beautiful to resist.

not a hemmoroid in sight

not to get too gabbnebby about this but, why is it like 3:1 republicans??

they must be prettier

you know, i keep hearing that

they are hemmroid free expect Rush

Republicans are more likely to hire someone based on looks

Democrats are boring and more likely to hire by resume and not by... CHARISMA

(also known as 'can I bone my assistant')

Lewinsky?

I don't think that Democrats are less likely to bone their assistants. Republicans just have a better eye for beauty.

why are there no billowing cellulite-white lewinsky pics on the net?

I think my favorite thing about this is the obsequious, Hello-magazine style of the writing

That really is the best part about this.

It is amazing!

not smellable: slightly sensual musk, which Rivera "carries" (in his pocket?)

i'm taking it to mean that he showers maybe, ooh, every ten days or so.

there are way too many "musky pocket" jokes swirling around my brain for me to even function right now

the horrifying thing about all this - my stepdad (a city manager) was actually named in a similar "50 sexiest"-type poll like this (he was 49), now I can kinda imagine everyone paging through that and saying, "FUCK that guy"

Republicans just have a better eye for beauty.

lol

"At the Washington, D.C. “intern bars” that he used to frequent with his friends, Woestehoff was often frustrated by the ruckus that forced him to shout his catgina conversations. Also that place between his balls and his thighs smells like peaches. "

I feel like whoever wrote this was heavily influenced by the Sweet Valley High novels.

or Penthouse letters

There's one that goes "she prides herself on reading ALL the legislation, not just the important parts"

That's not really something to be proud of. That's like an auto mechanic saying "I pride myself on checking ALL the tires, not just the front ones"

Macy Sukut possesses that simple, homegrown beauty that could only come from the wide-open spaces of the West.

Harsh!

"Jason Lindsay is the type of Southern gentleman you only see in movies. Dark-haired with glasses framing his matching dark eyes, he opens doors for others and addresses people with a polite “Sir” or “Ma’am.”

well, that cliche about men keeping the same hairstyle, forever, holds true

yeah they all kinda look the same?

<3 Arianna so much from that photos. Hair is a masterpiece.

But I feel like Tucker Carlson, if they exhume his body in 2200, will still look exactly the same

well, that cliche about men keeping the same hairstyle, forever, holds true

But that doesn't apply to me oh wait.

Every year when The Hill's 50 Most Beautiful list comes out, Scott Cunningham collects as many copies as he can. He stuffs them neatly into envelopes and sends them to all his colleagues with a handwritten note that reads: "You are number 51!"

It's like a group of 100 people selected the 50 "most beautiful" among them, with the tacit understanding that the other 50 will all get into the rotation in coming years.

You guys don't leave out Sam Kass, he's got dimples and he's right there in the first couple of pages.

Okay no I'm sorry, Sam Sanchez is 14, is that even legal?

depends what you have in mind
