Melody Barnes. Yes we can!

I lived in DC in part of my youth - gasp! 20 years ago - and I have to say that it was one of the most boring towns I have ever seen. There was ONE good place to dance, the food was gawd-awful, and the hierarchy more rigid than in any other city I've ever known. My friends who stayed there for their entire careers tell me it is changing, but I seriously wonder if it was worth the wait.

That being said Melody looks like a perfect ten: intelligent, committed, and, well, downright sexy. I wish I had met her way back then...

This slide show pretty much confirms why they say "DC is Hollywood for ugly people."

This is the dumbest article I've seen on this site yet. Oh yeah, the bald guys with crooked teeth in the financial sector of the US Government - Brad Pitt beware!!

These folks are so hot my computer almost melted! Not.

While the general consensus seems to be that this administration will be the hottest in American history, excluding Melody Barnes, none of the people on that list are the reason for that. Starting with the P-E himself, the future First Lady, Rahm Emanuel, and Tim Geithner, to the newly appointed social secretary Desiree Rogers, these are the people bringing sexy to Washington, I think the P-E is soothing our frayed nerves with the attractiveness of his administration.

IThis stupid article is a meaningless cocktail party observation after your 3rd drink. But the rest of us aren't drunk yet, so you're the only one who thinks it's funny or clever. Could you put crap like this in a separate "Addled and Adolescent" section, so I can be sure to drink my martinis first?

Please redo this assignment and give to someone who is visually challenged and I promise they'll do a better job...or maybe that was the problem.

Hot they are NOT!

First of all, Melody Barnes would be the only one befitting the title of "Obama's transition hotties", if you really must.
Second, this is the dumbest article ever!

i went right to the pics cuz who reads about hotties. as a gay man, obama's male team players have nothing to worry about from me but the ladeez just might make me go str8t.

I would agree with the worthlessness of this feature except for the voyeuristic aspect however was it a washingtonian who chose these candidates? It certainly seems so...

Half of those people made me sad.

OK -let's get serious. Who is the UGLIEST member of the Obama team. I vote for Larry Summers, hands down. I hope he works behind the scenes cause I do not want that face on my TV

Ugly gallery is filled with ugly.
