NEW YORK, Sept. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The results are in and it's time to set the record straight. Of the 50,000 votes cast in the Playgirl's "Sexiest Newscaster" election, where readers were asked to vote online for their favorite national newsman -- the official winner is MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. Several news sources had inaccurately reported that a candidate from a rival cable network had actually won when in fact, he came in second. We still love you, Sean Hannity. (Photo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030102/PLAYGIRLLOGO ) Olbermann ran a tough campaign -- linking his website to PLAYGIRL's and urging his viewers to get out the vote. He won with 24%, sweeping both "red" and "blue" states. Hannity of the Fox News Channel has his adoring fans as well, sliding him firmly into second place. CNN's Anderson Cooper, who was in Baghdad and unable to make those crucial stump speeches, came in a close third. The full election results can be seen in the October issue of PLAYGIRL.
"Voter turn-out was phenomenal," said Michele Zipp, PLAYGIRL's Editor-in-Chief. "Our readers jammed our email server extolling the virtues of all those sexy news guys on TV. In the end, it was Keith Olbermann who brought it home. Playgirl will be honored to make a $2,500.00 donation to the charity of his choice."
There were big some surprises among the top ten. Andy Rooney tied for 5th place with a much younger Bill Hemmer of CNN. Today's Matt Lauer earned 6th place, ABC's Peter Jennings scored #7 while NBC's Tom Brokaw tied for 8th place with his colleague and successor Brian Williams. One smitten Williams devotee wrote Zipp a lengthy email explaining how she willingly bought her own satellite dish just to watch his newscasts! Fox News Channel's Washington reporter, Brit Hume placed at #9, while NBC's Lester Holt held slot #10.
AND THEN THERE WERE THE WRITE-IN VOTES...Bill O'Reilly of Fox News Channel, received about 200 write-in votes from his admiring fans followed by CNN 's medical cutie Sanjay Gupta and NBC's Stone Philips of Dateline. Oh, and Wolf Blitzer, your fans tell us you definitely have the sexiest name.
For more news on the poll, tune into the October issue of PLAYGIRL on newsstands today.
Keith who?
You mean DAn Rather didn't make the final four?
nick
This is from The Onion, right?
Keith Olbermann--he of the One Eyebrow? With lips like a dead lizard? And the wit of a Pet Rock?
These female voters need help--lots of it!
We should be demanding the same for the ladies...
one of the few times I support equal opportunity speech
Olbermann?????????sexy????????????
What about Rob Morrison of NBC...now that's sexy.
Remember, Playgirl is pretty much a gay men's magazine that masquarades as a magazine for women.
Really? And you know this becasue?
Readers of PlayGirl watch the news?
Uh.....uh......I wonder how his pictoral will play down in "boys town"....
Just damn.
If you want on the list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...
brutal!
Because I am a straight man, of course.
Why do I suddenly have this mental image of Madeline Albright, obsessively voting and then wiping the cookies from her computer... voting and then wiping the cookies from her computer... voting and then wiping -- ? :)
what about the women version? Laurie Dhue or Page Hopkins... tough decision :)
Right, because women are not at all interested in seeing men in a magazine the way men are interested in seeing women in a magazine.
Keith, the MSNBC newsreader who doesn't have a p*nis.
Because most women are not visually stimulated. They are emotionally stimulated. Thus, reading a book about some heoric stud resucing them is far more of a turn on that seeing some naked gay guy on the page of a magazine. Psychology 101.
Olber?????????? omigod ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!
