People’s list of 100 most beautiful includes … Geithner?

Mind you, this is the guy about whom I once wrote, “he has the high forehead and squirrelly look of a vintage comic-book villain.” Dude, seriously. No disrespect, but … no.
Well, maybe a little disrespect.
Michelle Obama, who has achieved celebrity status and has wowed the world as a fashion icon, made the list for the first time.
“I had a father and a brother who thought I was beautiful, and they made me feel that way every single day,” Obama told the magazine…
Also included in a “Barack’s Beauties” section were White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and others.
Weasel Zippers has the only photo you need. Michelle O making the list was a given — I’m reasonably sure Laura Bush made it too once or twice — and I’ve been told by more than one woman that Emanuel has the raw animal magnetism that only a profane male ex-ballerina can project. But TurboTax Tim? What’s the appeal, ladies? Does his tax dodging give him a certain rebel derring-do? Does his deer-in-the-headlights confusion when answering questions about TARP make you want to mother him or something? Help me out.

Hey, they probably thought that Poindexter from Revenge of the Nerds was hunky, too. If I was inclined to write separated-at-birth posts, I’d put the two of them together, and let hilarity ensue.
I think it’s official: People has a Democratic fetish. I wonder when Helen Thomas will make the list. Just spare us the centerfold, please.

Jealous Allah? ;)

“Help me out.”
uuuh…..maybe People Magazine wants to stay in business?

No Henry Waxman?
carbon_footprint on April 29, 2009 at 4:48 PM
So – he continues the stereotype of beautiful – but dumb?
As theories go – that’s a beaute!
kybowexar on April 29, 2009 at 4:48 PM
Liberals are so weird. They simply cannot function unless they believe that they are flawless. There’s never a downside to any of their policies, they’re always the smartest person in the room, and now they even have to be the most beautiful, even though it’s self-evident that none of these things are true.
Such weird, pathetic people.
Kensington on April 29, 2009 at 4:48 PM
Actually, Geeitner reminds me of the bad guy in Ghost..I thin his name was Carl.
Pulchritudinous Patriot on April 29, 2009 at 4:48 PM
He looks like a leprechaun… Or maybe a leprechaun crossed with a hobit.
jr.ewing.78 on April 29, 2009 at 4:49 PM
Is Waxman on it?
stenwin77 on April 29, 2009 at 4:49 PM
Yeah, Goldwyn’s great great something or another.
carbon_footprint on April 29, 2009 at 4:49 PM
Lol….Epic fail, People.
therightwinger on April 29, 2009 at 4:49 PM
You realize that was a cruel thing to say… especially to any of us who can see!
Mindbleach!

Allah is less of a man than a male ballerina?
lorien1973 on April 29, 2009 at 4:50 PM
Be happy she’s not making the Playboy centerfold in the classic Basic Instinct pose.
Darth Executor on April 29, 2009 at 4:50 PM
No Screech circa 1995?
Speedwagon82 on April 29, 2009 at 4:50 PM
He definitely isn’t hot.
deidre on April 29, 2009 at 4:50 PM
They have TurboTax Tim and Michelle Obama, we have Sarah Palin and Miss CA.
Fair trade.
Ferris on April 29, 2009 at 4:50 PM
I guess he’s beautiful………….
If you’re attracted to weird little men who live under bridges.
oldernwiser on April 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Women love powerful men. Money equals power. Who has access to more money than Timmahh.
Nuff said.
tommylotto on April 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
in crazyland.
sammypants on April 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Allah, you talk to other ladies about Rahm Emanuel’s sex appeal? Seriously? Why would you even think to bring that up? Unless… oh… uh huh. Nevermind.
Zetterson on April 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Uhhhhh… what the obama were they thinking???
Abby Adams on April 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Geithner looks like the guy in Eraserhead.
Mark1971 on April 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
There’s enough room on that head for two complete faces.
capitalist piglet on April 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Allah’s clawing his way to the bottom of the beta male pile and going straight for the coveted omega title.
Darth Executor on April 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
OMG, that’s it!
capitalist piglet on April 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
I wanted to have dinner. This is no longer so.
blatantblue on April 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
Well if Geithner’s high forehead makes him attractive to the ladies, I’m gonna have to break out my razor and give the ladies what they want….
Rightwingguy on April 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
And another thing, Ed – I don’t think that raised the level of civil discourse on this thread.
But then – neither does Helen Thomas. I give you the point on that one. (laugh)
kybowexar on April 29, 2009 at 4:52 PM
Peter Orszag got robbed!
Abby Adams on April 29, 2009 at 4:52 PM
Uhmmm. Yeah. I’m about to revisit lunch now…
Rightwingguy on April 29, 2009 at 4:52 PM
The insanity of the left knows no bounds, whatsoever. None.
progressoverpeace on April 29, 2009 at 4:52 PM
bizarre but totally predictable.
homesickamerican on April 29, 2009 at 4:53 PM
Well this lists is got to be comparable to Newsweek’s that lists Obama as Spock and Rahm as Kirk.
As if!
Much better story on that here -http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/cftoto/2009/04/29/newsweek/
kybowexar on April 29, 2009 at 4:54 PM
the left has officially left the building.
Kaptain Amerika on April 29, 2009 at 4:54 PM
Huh?
bluelightbrigade on April 29, 2009 at 4:54 PM
A Biden or Klingon mask would do the same thing with less muss!
kybowexar on April 29, 2009 at 4:54 PM
Must see Red Eye tonight… enuff said.
TimeTraveler on April 29, 2009 at 4:55 PM
Changed it up a bit. Women love men for what they can do, not necessarily their looks or power (though there is some truth to what you say). The media, on the other hand, would be in love with Quasimoto if he was a liberal.
capitalist piglet on April 29, 2009 at 4:56 PM
Tiny Tim? No, no, a thousand times no.
Now, the late JFK Jr. was another story, if People must pick liberals . . .
NebCon on April 29, 2009 at 4:56 PM
What an absolutely ridiculous list.
madne0 on April 29, 2009 at 4:56 PM
Put me down for a lot of disrepect. Gawd.

I thought Ken Salazar and Obama make a great couple. I wonder why Ken got dissed.
moxie_neanderthal on April 29, 2009 at 4:58 PM
Um, I have I high forehead. Was thinking of a total shave. Need the ladies opinion. Bald and white sexy or no?
redshirt on April 29, 2009 at 4:59 PM
This word beautiful. I do not think it means what you think it means.
lorien1973 on April 29, 2009 at 4:59 PM
I saw a show on TV Guide re: The 50 Sexiest Women In Film, or some such crap … Rita Hayworth came in at 21st, while Pamela Anderson was 3rd.
These lists are absurd, and they are a reflection of how warped the MSM has been, is, and will remain.
Rita Hayworth was the definition of stunning, sexy and feminine. Pamela Anderson … bullshit.
The same for People’s list … bullshit.
OhEssYouCowboys on April 29, 2009 at 4:59 PM
That at least made it more appealing – before it was appalling…
kybowexar on April 29, 2009 at 4:59 PM
They take an air-brush to everything and then it meets their expectations.
Could this be the chink in double-speak armour. Please any sane person has got to realize that Geithner and Brad Pitt don’t compete on the same playing field. Sick sick media.
petunia on April 29, 2009 at 4:59 PM
I’m assuming Sarah Palin didn’t make it, but Tina Fey did. ‘Nuff said.
ddrintn on April 29, 2009 at 5:01 PM
Exactly!
petunia on April 29, 2009 at 5:02 PM
Geithner looks like the guy in Eraserhead.
Mark1971 on April 29, 2009 at 4:51 PM
…or the old SNL coneheads
maverick muse on April 29, 2009 at 5:03 PM
Hmm… perhaps, Rahm isn’t looking to appeal to women (wink, wink). (He might be married, but his extracurriculars are well known about in Chicago).
As for Geitner, no he doesn’t project any sort of attractiveness at all. Unless the clueless bureaucrat look goes for you.
Illinidiva on April 29, 2009 at 5:03 PM
This Just in…
In a ONN(Obama Narcissism Network) Exclusive. We report on the Rescue of the People Magazine Company by a $1.6B infusion from the Treasury Department in return for a 52% stake in the company.
Secretary Geithner is quoted as saying,”Soon we will control Every… Ah hum, I mean, The American people need to know that their weekly dose of vapid celebrity gossip will not be affected by the continuing BUSH economic disaster.”
OBQuiet on April 29, 2009 at 5:04 PM
Reminds me of the guy from Ghostbusters II.
spmat on April 29, 2009 at 5:04 PM
I can’t say that Geitner is ugly, but I wouldn’t put him on a Most Beautiful list. Unless that list is ‘The Top 6 Billon Most Beautiful People in the World.’ Pretty sure Helen Thomas won’t be making that list either.
Anna on April 29, 2009 at 5:05 PM
Has the world gone mad!?!
Firebird on April 29, 2009 at 5:05 PM
So, do we really care what People magazine’s definition of beauty is, especially if they choose the Stan Laurel look alike that is Turbo Tax Timmy? Sheesh!
College Prof on April 29, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Kidding me right? Turbo-Tax Cheat?
If Palin isn’t on the list then the list is crap (because I’m sure it’s not Scottish either)
saltydogg14 on April 29, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Sarah didn’t? !!! WTF?
promachus on April 29, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Emanuel has all the farrell instincts of a female rat defending her young.
poljunkie on April 29, 2009 at 5:06 PM
Tim Geithner checkbook is beautiful…
They kinda left out a word…
Romeo13 on April 29, 2009 at 5:08 PM
Et tutu, Brute?
Loxodonta on April 29, 2009 at 5:08 PM
….No, definitely not seeing it.
Emanual and Geithner are both scrawny and…um, well, icky.
flyawaybird on April 29, 2009 at 5:10 PM
If Geithner is on the list, I’m a freakin’ Fabio! [In his younger days, of course...not like that Fabio in that 2006 Superbowl ad.]
coldwarrior on April 29, 2009 at 5:10 PM
I can just picture the photo shoot…
Give me more, Timmy. That’s it. That’s it.
KelliD on April 29, 2009 at 5:10 PM
Are you fu*king kidding, me? This just proves I did the right thing by cancelling my 20+ year People subscription 5 or 6 years ago.
How’s their circulation these days?
jix on April 29, 2009 at 5:11 PM
I’ve always thought he looks like The Great Gazoo.
thebrokenchair on April 29, 2009 at 5:12 PM
The next issue will include a huge expose on “The Return of The Sexy Forehead”. Or, it might be “We All Have Huge Foreheads, Now”.
progressoverpeace on April 29, 2009 at 5:12 PM
Photo shoot at Barney Frank’s place?
[No, bad, bad...bad....]
coldwarrior on April 29, 2009 at 5:12 PM
Well, I suppose Geithner is less likely to scare the horses than Henry “Judge Doom” Paulson. Or this Tim.
Mr. D on April 29, 2009 at 5:13 PM
LOL…Sarah Palin, Michelle Obama, Tina Fey. Which is the most beautiful? Wow, that’s a tough one. ROFL
ddrintn on April 29, 2009 at 5:13 PM
He’s the only man in the world who can pull us out of our economic troubles.
That’s hot.
Ok, I could barely type that with a straight face. Sorry.
CookeyD on April 29, 2009 at 5:14 PM
Nope, Poptech has the Fabio thing going. LOL
ddrintn on April 29, 2009 at 5:14 PM
LOL @ you have a subscription to People Magazine for 20+ years. Did you live in a dentist’s office waiting room?
Proud Rino on April 29, 2009 at 5:15 PM
It’s almost like the unpopular kids in High School are in control of the year book………
Seven Percent Solution on April 29, 2009 at 5:16 PM
Geithner looks like the kind of guy most women can beat up……there has to be something attractive about that.
David in ATL on April 29, 2009 at 5:16 PM
So why would they follow the CNN/MSNBC/NYTimes strategy? If it’s about money, they should put Glenn Beck and O’Reilly on the list.
hawksruleva on April 29, 2009 at 5:17 PM
Tim, you’re happening, Baby! You’re now! You’re hot! You’re today! Pout for me, Baby.
OhEssYouCowboys on April 29, 2009 at 5:17 PM
Maybe Geithner is considered attractive because he has such big feet. And you know what they say about men with big feet.
Loxodonta on April 29, 2009 at 5:17 PM
Which Fabio? Before or after the gondola passed under the bridge?
coldwarrior on April 29, 2009 at 5:19 PM
That they have a heck of a time buying shoes?
Snowed In on April 29, 2009 at 5:19 PM
“They have big socks?”
“No, but you’re close.”
Proud Rino on April 29, 2009 at 5:21 PM
I can see the horns just under the skin on his forehead … Geithner that is, in the pic.
darwin on April 29, 2009 at 5:22 PM
OMG. I’m living on bizarro planet.
My collie says:
CyberCipher on April 29, 2009 at 5:22 PM
If I were Michelle, I’d take this into account when they told me I was beautiful too.
Sue on April 29, 2009 at 5:23 PM
He’s beautiful in a pervert sort of way
faraway on April 29, 2009 at 5:24 PM
So, you are finally starting to see Obama’s eunuch horns.
Loxodonta on April 29, 2009 at 5:24 PM
It’s that Israeli/Mossad look that makes me quiver.
Of course, I feel dirty about it, but what can I do? The unmentionables want what the unmentionables want.
myrenovations on April 29, 2009 at 5:25 PM
You disparage all of us perverts when you say things like that…
coldwarrior on April 29, 2009 at 5:25 PM
Except that guy was more successful in his plans than Geithner ever will be….
Rightwingguy on April 29, 2009 at 5:26 PM
Double entendre and a nice pun on the little animals and pixie dust all in one….excellent…
coldwarrior on April 29, 2009 at 5:26 PM
Barack’s Beauties are at least 10 baggers….. with the lights off and a quart of Patron.
txag92 on April 29, 2009 at 5:28 PM

sarahpalinfan99 on April 29, 2009 at 5:29 PM
B.L.E.C.H.
I used to enjoy trolling through the People trash while I was getting my hairs did, but I seriously can’t take the chance of coming across an article that would list ANY of the Obamapods as, (gag) hot, sexy or beautiful. Blowing chunks in public is not my idea of pretty.
anniekc on April 29, 2009 at 5:30 PM
Emanuel looks like a malnourished raccoon. Geithner reminds me of Beavis from Beavis and Butthead.
I’m surprised Eric Holder didn’t make the list. He looks like Oprah’s Stedman.
Christina_M on April 29, 2009 at 5:31 PM
Gossip is; He’s sly and cunning in the sack, but hookers make him pay first.
Cybergeezer on April 29, 2009 at 5:36 PM
If I had a dog that looked like Timothy Geithner I’d shave his *ss and make him walk backwards.
