As you’ve no doubt already realized from the photos, this is such a racy blog item that we had to maneuver it around our editors to get it posted before anyone could see it and stop us.

Phew!

Thanks to loyal Ticket reader Whitney, we were treated today to the revelation via another blog of something we had clearly missed.

It seems that celebrities and rock musicians with their guitars hanging down you-know-where are no longer the sex symbols that some people once thought.

It seems that as we all go on about enduring our pedestrian daily routines living vicariously only through sexy-celebrity-gawking, we must now give that up because, it has been pronounced, politicians are American society’s newest sex symbols.

Politicians.

The ones we write about here every day saying things like ‘I have made it very clear many times before’ and ‘To be perfectly candid,’ when, in fact, they haven’t done either.

So we went hunting for some photos to document this newly reported phenomenon.

And wouldn’t you know? It looks like we’ve been wrong all this time. Just look at these photos -- if you can.

No wonder they’re selling Playboy magazine and the mansion. What could possibly top sexy lineups like this? And free every day on the news too.

And when you add the mental images of these folks in lingerie or underwear, well, you can easily understand why they need security out in public.
