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.

    Is this what we have come to? Do Svaty and Pukeinson make your leg tingle? Is this a serious blog site or just an electronic “Entertainment Tonight”?

    Heheheh. Josh has spent the night at my house before.

    He’s even cute when he first gets up in the morning!

    How anyone can think parkinson is hotter is beyond me. He’s not even a male version of the cougar.

    Anyone who has met Josh would know who’d hotter. Ask Josh’s wife.

    Laughing, even being downright silly sometimes, is a healthy activity.

    I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.
    Dr. Seuss (1904 – 1991)

    I agree, Mary! That guy on the right is a cutie!

    Ask Josh’s wife.

    Dang. I was about to claim dibs on him for my two unmarried daughters. Oh, well. You know what they say. All the good ones are either married or gay. ;)
