Man, I love Reuters. Yesterday, I shared an article with my yahoo group… Man forgets car at gas station.
Today? Today I found this one.
Which politician do voters want to see nude?
MELBOURNE (Reuters) – More Australian voters would like to see Labor Opposition leader Kevin Rudd naked than their current prime minister, John Howard, a poll showed on Sunday just two weeks out from a hard-fought general election.
The question was posed in a Galaxy poll of 1,200 voters and published in Zoo magazine, the Australian Associated Press reported.
The survey found 34 percent of respondents wanted to see Rudd, 50, with his gear off, more than double the 16 percent who said the same thing about Howard, 68.
Even Howard’s usually strong following among the over 50s slipped, with the poll showing just 16 percent wanted to see him naked compared with 27 percent for Rudd.
“No one wants a prime minister who doesn’t look good naked,” Zoo editor Paul Merrill was quoted as saying.
More conventional polls have consistently shown Howard’s conservative government trailing well behind Labor, although the gap has narrowed slightly ahead of the November 24 general election.

That part that really cracked me up was this one
“No one wants a prime minister who doesn’t look good naked,” Zoo editor Paul Merrill was quoted as saying.
Call me crazy, but this is one thing I’ve never considered when I’m voting. Now granted, I’m in the States and not Australia, but we have elections. All sorts of things to debate about amongst the candidates.
But not once have I ever wondered what any of the elected officials would look like without their skivvies on.
Am I weird?
