Is Parkinson ‘hottest’ politician in Kansas?

In meaningless news: Lt. Gov. Mark Parkinson (left) was named the “hottest” male politician in Kansas last fall by the Web site Lemondrop.com. The politicians were picked “not for their successes or their policies but for their hotness,” the Web site explained. State Rep. Joshua Svaty (right), D-Ellsworth, was named as a reader pick. “This curly-haired Kansan is the son of a preacher man and was just 23 when first elected to the House of Representatives,” the Web site swooned.
