We break from our usual programming
Okay - apropos to absolutely nothing except that it completely cracked me up this morning. I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth, and Hugh Rivington (who I only know because he used to present Channel Nine Late News that was on right before La Femme Nikita, back in the good old days) appears to have moved up to CNN. And there was a story on that economists at ANU (the Australian National University) have done a stody that shows that more attractive candidates are more likely to be win elections, but less attractive candidates have greater longevity holding their seats. And then they ranked the four politicians in Australia who were found to be the most ugly. It felt like an episode of Family Feud.
And the survey said:
#4 - our esteemed Prime Minister, The Hon. John Howard
#3 - our esteemed Attorney General, The Hon. Philip Ruddock
#2 - our esteemed Foreign Minister, The Hon. Alexander Downer
#1 - the somewhat less prominent MP from the state of Tasmania, The Hon. Dick Adams, is voted the ugliest man in Australian Politics.
Sadly, I can't seem to find the story on CNN to link it :(
