PLAYGIRL Announces Winners of Sexiest Newscaster Election
Playgirl ^ | 9/13/04 | Press Release

Posted on 09/13/2004 2:20:26 PM PDT by misterrob

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.

"Her overweight Lithuanian friend was into Englebert. Ah, memories..."

LOL, that brings 'em back for me too. My grandmother actually came to NY from Worcester, Mass and took my parents to the Rainbow Room (or somesuch) to see Englebert. She really loved him. I'd never seen my mom so dressed up, she even borrowed a fur stole from some place.

I really loved watching them do that, such fun!

It's rigged. His face makes me want to vomit just because I know he's a liberal tool.

OK. I believe you:)

This thread is going to get BIG:) So let me fertilize the garden a little and see what grows faster:)

I propose that since Keith Olbermann was chosen, women haven't seen enough horny men to widen their choices:)

If better evidence ever existed that women should not be allowed to vote, I have not seen it. :^)

There's no accounting for liberal tastes. How else do liberal men get any action for themselves?

Liberal men don't know how to get women laughing and feel comfy in the first 5 seconds:) And get romantic in the second 5 seconds:):)

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.

You are correct, but I think women are also visually stimulated, just not in the same way as men. Women look at features like eyes and smiles or the general build of a man while men focus on T&A and legs that lead to another place of interest. (I didn't know how else to phrase that here on FR.)

Why berate yourself for your typos? "...resucing..." is a very interesting word. :o)

Keith "The Liberal-demokkkRAT Eunuch" Olbermann? You're freaking kidding, right! S/he's a subhuman homo, rump-raider, fudge-packer; whatever.

Yawn.

Sure you can. I told you what to do. If you turn your hair red, your brain will adapt quickly, and you'll get creative and sneaky:):):) *LOL*

This obviously is a joke. Whatever Oberman, with his nerdy smirk might be, sexy is not a word that comes to mind.
