Peter Orszag, OMB chief and sex symbol (BARF!)

For a year now, the capital has been trying to solve a singular mystery: Why is Peter Orszag so sexy?

It is hard to conceive of just what makes the gangly and geeky director of the Office of Management and Budget a heartthrob. Yet in rapid succession in recent weeks, the world learned first of his engagement to an attractive TV correspondent a decade his junior, and second, of his love child born to an attractive shipping heiress. Jokesters at the all-Orszag blog Orszagasm.com say he's put "the OMG into OMB," and Jon Stewart promoted him to director of the Office of Managing the Bootay.

While recognizing that ideas about what's sexy are subjective, the overall liberal idea of sexy is about as off kilter as every other liberal idea of anything.

Alan Alda was their idea of sexy back when men first began "getting in touch with their feminine side".

If you look close enough you can see the Nike Logo under the brim of the cap he’s wearing.

And here's that "attractive shipping heiress" and Orszag's baby momma. (I think Dana Milbank wrote this when he was wearing his beer goggles.)

Wow, Maggie, for a brief second, I saw Tony Snow in this picture.

He looks like a nerdy ferret. So does Geithner. Not sexy.

[La Lydia]

In Milbank’s case, I think that would be a double scotch, straight up goggles.

This stuff really isn’t funny. Some jackass gets a woman pregnant and dumps her for another one. All the while people are laughing over it.

It's the Henry Kissinger syndrome.....real (or perceived) power/money is the ultimate aphrodisiac.

Eeeeeeek! It’s alive!

There may be some angles and lighting combinations that make it look less stupid.
