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.

Sean's got a book? Next you'll be telling me John Kerry was in Vietnam.
Hmmmm...there is a distinct lack of photographs on this thread.
Now, I often post pics of hot chicks for the boys...I demand equality in posting rituals here! ;-)
Ya don't say!!!!! What's that name again? Deliver Us From Evil?
I heard a rumor about Colin Farrell that I want confirmed not that I care or nothing.
I'll wake him up and ask him for ye? ;-)
You asked for it. I still don't get it....this is #1? Ugh.
Female porn is the written word or the suggestive picture and not that which is overt. As a marketing guy who enjoyed my bachelor days, I can say first hand that interest and seduction happened through language and imagery, not pin ups or porn flicks.
LOL you little minx!
Oh how hideous.
Where is the Colin Farrell pic?
MY EYES! My EYES!!!
Romance novels are pretty much the equivalent of female porn. I think that's what makes internet chats,etc. a special concern for women. Believe me I know from personal experience! LOL
But they only read it for the articles, right? Right?!?!?
:SIGH:
He's one of the few that looks good a little scruffy.
You can keep your romance novels.
One night with Colin Farrell, and after that I'd happily join the convent.
I'd be a happy camper forevermore! *L*
Now that comment seems to fit right in in a discussion of women's reponses to Playgirl magazine! ;-)
Convent??? CONVENT!!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hahaha!
Wiseguy!
