Well, I was rather surprised to read this, but then there's no accounting for some folks' taste:
| Quote: |
But the rapidity with which things have changed shouldn't blind us to the fact that Nordlinger, for all his unseemly delight in the context of 9/11 and war, had a point. Rumsfeld did have admirers across the spectrum. Even his enemies acknowledged a kind of magnetic oddness, a bluntness of manner combined with a wolfishness evocative of Jack Nicholson that made it hard not to stop what you were doing when his face appeared on the television screen.
...
The notion of Rumsfeld's sexual allure was a popular one in 2001 and 2002: Dick Cheney even gruffly conceded in a television interview that the secretary of defence was a "babe magnet", albeit only "for the 70-year-old crowd". ("Babe magnet for the over-70s? C'mon, Mr Vice President!" one poster wrote on the National Review's website. "I'm a finely aged 32-year-old Texas broad, and I proclaim Don Rumsfeld my Hottie of the Month.") It was hardly the stuff of serious geopolitical debate. But the Rumsfeld-as-sex-god thesis - much more often referenced, interestingly, by male conservatives than by anyone else - was part of a broader cult of personality that saw him as the man of the hour, and a man for the future. |

So tell us, is he hot or is he not?

I would venture a guess that it rates considerably higher than yours....  |

And what would you know, when your only experience has been with Lady Palm and her 5 lovely daughters, and perhaps a ladyboy or two in Bangkok? |

| Well, if Kissenger is right that power is the greatest aphrodesiac of all, then Rummy's hotness quotient is considerably lower today than it was on Monday. |

| I rate the question and the poster who thought it would be a good discussion as ridiculous... |

It is supposed to be ridiculous. And clearly Rumsfeld isn't 'woolly' enough for your debased tastes. Now bugger off Kiwiboy. |
