GOP Vixen crowns the Sexiest World Leader!

GOP Vixen is proud to crown the Sexiest World Leader in our inaugural competition. Because we couldn't summon the international heads of state to GOP-V's L.A. headquarters for swimsuit and talent competitions, we had to rely on a skilled panel of schooled judges. (Schooled in the art of the blog and the insanity of politics, that is.)

Our able judging panel:

• Karol at Alarming News
• Dan (aka GayPatriotWest)
• Bruce (aka GayPatriot)
• Another Gay Republican
• Chris and Lisa at Two Babes and a Brain
• The Anchoress
• Paul at Right Rainbow
• Judy Cook, Hollywood Congress of Republicans
• Nancy Eisenhart, President, Woodland Hills (Calif.) Republican Women Federated
• Cheryl Felicia Rhoads, actress and GOP-V poet laureate
• Angelica Martinez, journalist
• Bridget Johnson, owner of this blasted blessed blog, columnist, yadda yadda

George W. Bush was not eligible because of how the judges' politics (um, see above) would potentially skew the voting results. Not that it didn't anyway, but didn't that sound ethical? Judges rated each leader on a prepared ballot on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being hottest.

Some judges also kindly contributed comments on the leaders' hotness (or not-hotness).

And the winner is...

FIRST PLACE

Tony Blair
Great Britain

It wasn't a runaway vote, but Blair pulled it off in the home stretch!

Judges' comments
Nancy: "You can't separate the good from the good in bed."
Karol: "His strong backbone makes up for his bad dental work."
AGR: "As men go, he's nothing special, and sort of looks like an accountant (not that there's anything wrong with that) but for a political leader, he's cute and aging well. Then there's the accent, which, let's face it, Americans find impossible to resist. And he's obviously got a very large . . .
brain, which really is the sexiest thing on a man."
Cheryl: "Tony Blair, number one ... I have checked and I think virtually everyone else is wrong for me astrologically speaking, but I'll get back to you on that."
Angelica: "I've always thought he was handsome!"

Second place

Anders Fogh Rasmussen
Denmark

A bit of a surprise, but the Dane was hot on the heels of T-Dawg!

Judges' comments
Nancy: "Those eyebrows could do wonders. At least he's enthusiastic."
Two Babes: "Up close he seems to have used the same plastic surgeon as Joan Rivers ... what is with the nose?"
Karol: "I like his politics (more) than his look. And isn't that frequently the case?"
AGR: "Not bad."

Third place -- TIE

Hamid Karzai
Afghanistan

Karzai and his Afghan-GQ look received an enthusiastic 10 from The Anchoress!

Judges' comments
Karol: "Would be just as at home shopping on Fifth Avenue as ruling a country with a bull's-eye on his back."
AGR: "He'd pick up a point or two after a shave and a new wardrobe."
Two Babes: "If clothes make the man at all then he falls at the bottom of the list."

Aleksander Kwasniewski
Poland

Bested some strong competitors to tie with his Afghan counterpart.

Judges' comments
AGR: "Cute in an Eastern European real guy way. And yeah, Jacques, this 'Polish Plumber' is hotter than you."
Nancy: "Them there eyes..."

Fourth place

Blaise Compaore
Burkina Faso

His fourth-place finish in the face of real world leaders is -- shall we say -- a coup?

Judges' comments
Karol: "It's kind of hot knowing he'll assassinate my enemies at a moment's notice."
AGR: "Average looking guy."

Fifth place

King Abdullah
Jordan

He couldn't score the sexy crown, but not a bad finish.

Judges' comments
Nancy: "Possibilities -- he tries hard."
Two Babes: "He loses points for stupid hats and being from Jordan."
AGR: "Cute."

Sixth place

Georgi Parvanov
Bulgaria

Nobody knew who he was, but after a little Googling he landed a respectable spot on the sexy list.

Judges' comments
Nancy: "JFK hairdo does it."
Two Babes: "He's OK, but his mark is high because I looked at him after the guy with the hair (Koizumi)."

Seventh place

Junichiro Koizumi
Japan

Karaoke crooner gets body waves on his famous mane, but didn't cause too many ripples among our panel.

Judges' comments
Nancy: "A young Leonard Bernsteinito."
Two Babes: "It's the hair. If it weren't for the hair (his score) would be higher."
Karol: "8, 9 if he can introduce me to Hideki Matsui."
AGR: "Three words: Get a haircut."

Eighth place

Vladimir Putin
Russia

Judo master can't chop down the competition.

Judges' comments
AGR: "Gives me the creeps."
Karol: "That steely look tells me he could kill me and no one would even blink. Hot."
Two Babes: "He is scary."
Nancy: "Fear is not a turn-on."

Ninth place

Vicente Fox
Mexico

"Caliente Vicente" can't turn up the heat among our judges! Except one.

Judges' comments
AGR: "He's got a '70s gay-porn star look to him, and I think he looks like he's into leather. But he's hot."
Karol: "The 'stache probably tickles and the overt racism would get old quick."
Two Babes: "He gets a 5 if we are going on looks alone -- and we are grading on a curve -- but if you factor in his racism and his immigration policies, well, he ties with Chirac."
Nancy: "A tall but limp wimp."

The Big Loser

Jacques Chirac
France

Frog can't hop out of the sex-appeal dungeon.

Judges' comments
Nancy: "If he was the last man on Earth, celibacy would look good."
Judy: "I would have given him a zero, but some may find his repulsiveness alluring."
Two Babes: "The lowest score you can get is what he gets."
Karol: "Looks French. Is he French?"
AGR: "Goofy looking, and I imagine he has wretchedly bad breath."

It's the snails. Must be.

Again, GOP Vixen would like to thank the judges and congratulate our ally across the pond. We will promptly notify Tony Blair of his victory and see if he cares. If we get a response, we'll post it here for the world to see. Depending on the mood, and upcoming foreign policy decisions, we may also let other leaders know they're non-hot.

Blair, Karzai congratulate each other on being hot.

UPDATE: Welcome National Review readers!

[V the K]

Damn, nobody ever invites me to these things. Just as well, politicians make my flesh crawl.

[jackie the tokeman]

come on, ladies. if these guys were plumbers instead of world leaders you'd think they were asexual at best, repulsive dumpy middle-aged fartbags at worst.

[K.J. IL]

Where grand prize winner page? You find me there. You not find me there I fire up reactor! Then you pay!

Hot! Psssssss.

[RFTR]

What happened to John Howard?

[Jay Anderson]

Mayor of Columbia, VA doesn't qualify one as a world leader, huh?
;)

[Bridget]

Yeah, we decided to exclude mayors. Antonio Villaraigosa is still pouting.

[salomeh]

HEY! Why no Jose Aznar, former PM of Spain?!! Great mind, great accent, MUCH better hair than most of these guys.

[Mike's America]

Hands down... Anders Rasmussen.

[P McGrath]

Sorry to burst your bubble about Mr. Kwasniewski, but he's the leader of the Sojusz Lewaj Demokratsii (the Union of Left Democrats), that is, the former Communists. Glad he's helping us out in Iraq and all, but he's not on the right side of the field.

[Bridget]

Nobody said he was a conservative. As you can see from Putin, Fox and Chirac, the ballot wasn't put together with a certain political leaning in mind.

[leni]

You forgot Viktor Yushchenko! Ok he looks a little strange now but it was not his fault that Putin poisoned him. He needs some sort of sympathy prize. Maybe it would help boast his self esteem.

[Bridget]

Point taken. He gets our Sexy Dioxin Survivor award!

[Mireille]

I think Miguel Angel Moratinos is the sexiest world leader. He is a lot hotter than several polititians in this list who are 10 o 15 years younger than him.
