The newly elected Massachusetts Senator, Scott Brown posed nude in Cosmopolitan many years ago. Would a female candidate have the same chance in running for office if they had posed nude in the same way (artfully covering the naughtier body parts)? Why aren't people making a bigger deal over this scandalous centerfold? Why is it that when running for public office attractiveness (or lack there of) is a huge issue for women candidates while it makes little difference for a male candidate?

First of all, who says Scott Brown isn't attractive? That is one hot centerfold.....ah who doesn't miss the days of chest hair....Tom Selleck anyone? Regardless, I must commend your ability to find such a fantastically random and interesting article, I mean seriously, who's got a backlog of 28 year old issues of Cosmo's in their basement? Hoarding is a serious problem for some I suppose. I do recall though some provocative photos of Sarah Palin in a Miss "Some Place" pageant a few decades ago, how is it that the conservatives are electing these fleshly leaders? Maybe its smarter to get your kicks while you're not in office than getting them on the campaign trail and under the desk once you're elected :)
