Madame Senator, you're hot

Education in Utah is so hot right now. But it wouldn't be hot without Margaret Dayton. The senator from Orem is the Senate Education Committee chairwoman. That rocks!

The Utah System of Higher Education thinks this homemaker is so hot that it awarded her an honorary doctorate. So that makes Margaret a veritable Dr. Hot.

You know what else makes Margaret hot? This. See, she's not afraid to stand by a "testicle festival" sign.

Utah County's finest

She's as comfortable expounding on her concerns about an international baccalaureate program, whatever that is, as she is appropriating stuff for natural resources. She advocates for local and state control of Utah education. That's why we're pleased to say, Madame Senator, you're hot.

Poll No. 15

This is the Senate, Son. These are the few, the proud, the elite. At any given time, only 29 people hold the title of senator in Utah. As you would expect here in the reddest of red states, 21 of the senators are Republicans.

But when it comes to which senators are elected hotties, we bring you three Repubs and two Dems.

May the hottest man win.

Mark Madsen, R-Lehi











Sheldon Killpack, R-Syracuse












Ross Romero, D-Salt Lake










Scott McCoy, D-Salt Lake

Our hottest House mate

If only we could get a room with Greg Hughes. Unfortunately, you can only catch him in public.

You take a look at that House Education Committee and who catches your eye? It's Greg, of course, that venerable, and very hot, Republican rep from Draper.

He's a true teacher's friend, that Greg Hughes.

The other House hottie

If Utah wants smaller class sizes, higher teacher pay, updated textbooks, more classroom computers and arts & music back in its classrooms, we have two choices -- spend more money or spend money more wisely, he says at greghughes.org.

The wisest thing you did today is elect Hughes as the hottest male member of the Utah House of Representatives.

With a come-from-behind win over Paul Ray in the closing minutes of his poll, Hughes has the kind of gumption that will make sure those education committee meetings will never quite be the same again.

This just in from Greg:

Wow! This is a great honor. It may be the highlight of my political career. So I guess I should thank mom and my dad for giving me the genes to win this award. But more importantly, I would like to thank Brooks Brothers,
Rogaine, Crest, my bathroom mirror, and Dr. Felt, my plastic surgeon.

And to all of those who said I would never amount to anything, let me quote Toby Keith by saying "How do you like me now!!!"

See, a sense of humor, too!!! How hot is that?
