I guess the question might turn on how many here expect to be nominated for a judgeship someday and want Slate (or anyone) searching through the threads to try and find anything they can to disqualify that person.
As far as Danica, I’ve just never understood the attraction. She’s low level cute but not stunning and (oh boy) let’s face it: there aren’t many female car racers, and she’s attractive by comparison with the few other names you can think of. There’s a media tendency to use sex appeal to sell stuff and then bash people who comment on the sexiness of anyone.
And besides, Leann Tweeden was quite a hottie years ago and dated what seemed like half the athletes but none took her home. I came across a post about ten years ago from a guy who claimed to be from her HS at the same time and still knew her and he simply said two things, she didn’t have they chest in HS and was single because she was some B word. He summarized, “There’s a reason she’s not married” and implied she was attractive but not a great one on one personality.
