Great pics. Thank you. Not so surprisingly, neither the radically liberal Washington Post, nor the kneejerk leftist Baltimore Sun had front page stories about Ms Assam today. The Post, however, did see fit to do a story on the danger of catching colds. And they call themselves NEWSpapers?

AM, I strongly suspect that any number of male freepers are currently smitten. I notice she doesn’t appear to be wearing a ring.

"It seemed like it was me, the gunman, and God," said Jeanne Assam, describing her feelings as she confronted a man who charged into her Colorado Springs church Sunday firing a weapon.

She is extremely attractive. A testament that women don’t necessarily have to chop off all their hair when they turn 30.

"I saw him coming through the doors," she told reporters on Monday. "I took cover, and I waited for him to get closer, and I came out of cover and identified myself, and engaged him, and took him down. And that's pretty much it."

"I give the credit to God. And I say that very humbly. God was with me and the whole time I was behind cover -- this has got to be God, because of the firepower that [the gunman] had vs. what I had," Assam said. "I did not run away and I didn't think for a minute to run away, I just knew that I was given the assignment to end this before it got too much worse. I just prayed for the Holy Spirit to guide me."

Contrast her immediate and unselfish heroism with the deputies who responded to Columbine and cowered behind their vehicles while children died.

She should edge out Joe Horn for cover of the “Hottest Shooters of 2007” Calendar.

Sorry, but us females get first crack at her. She’s young, pretty, THIN, probably can get any man she wants AND is a hero. I hate her. :-)

God bless this fearless soul. She makes all Americans proud!
