Kook WaPo Reporter: Scott Brown Is Ahead Because He's a Hunk & Posed Semi-Nude 20 Years Ago (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Monday, January 18, 2010, 7:45 PM
And, she’s considered a respectable reporter in Washington circles?
Sally Quinn, the religion writer at the Washington Post who likes to stick her nose in politics, told Bill O’Reilly that Scott Brown is ahead because he’s a hunk and posed in Cosmo semi-nude 20 years ago.
“It think that there are a number of factors here. It’s not quite as black and white as it may seem. First of all Scott Brown is a hunk. And, I think that the fact that he posed semi-nude for a magazine gave him a huge advantage in public recognition.”
Umm- Scott Brown posed semi-nude for Cosmopolitan 20 years ago, Sally.
Bill O’Reilly has a field day:

Not everybody reads nudie magazines, Sally Quinn. Even though you may have viewed a picture 20 years ago, most voters have not…
.
Militant Conservative commented:
WOW! now that was in depth thinking and journalism.
Guess everone in Mass. is a female voter.
LastDayOfObamaNation commented:
Anything is more palatable than the truth.
Mahon commented:
Look, there were a lot of combustible materials around, but you still needed a match. I think when a lot of MA people first heard of him – which may have been in the last month – the fact that he was gorgeous and not too uptight-social-conservative to do the Cosmo spread (even 20 years ago) made them think “Hey, let’s take a look at this.” Then the rest of it fell into place. If he hadn’t been a hunk, and Coakley such an unrelenting toothache of a candidate, then we might not have reached kindling temperature. So Quinn isn’t crazy.
PS: Can we start saying “Croak-ley” yet?

Chris Vehr commented:
Dems just can’t accept the fact that their politics is what’s steering people away from them. If she has to resort to crediting a picture from 28 years ago, then she really scraping.

TxTenther commented:
H/T RedState: 538 Election Model – Brown 74% favorite to win Massachusetts senate race.
This doesn’t mean he’s pulling 74% of the vote, rather that his chances of winning are 74%.
Definitely worth a look.
rumcrook commented:
huh, well she’s certainly a vapid idiot…
is that redundant?
TheScribbler commented:
How soon they forget them pushing how “sexy”, and I use the word very loosely, Barack Obama is. Remember Obama girl? The One coming out of the ocean without a shirt (gag). Everyone should know by now that the Left is the ‘do as I say, not as I do’ party. They are the elite and they feel that we are but mere peons who should be starving at their feet. If it wasn’t so pathetic it truly would be laughable.
mbabbitt commented:
Just imagine if Sarah Palin had said this. Hey Glenn Beck: Chalk another one up to the liberal geniuses category.
reliapundit commented:
scott brown has several advantages:
he’s more attractive, speaks better, and is closer on the issues to the electorate than marcia.
she has nothing: she’s a cold fish from a dying machine that’s wrong on the issues.
brown would’ve won in 2008 against her.
he’s that good and she’s that bad.
TheScribbler commented:
One more thing…if the voters in this country vote strictly on a candidates looks, please explain to me how Barney Frank and John Kerry ever got elected? hmmmm
Marta commented:
Actually Sally, he posed NUDE. It was just the strategically positioned crease of the page that “covered” what needed to be covered. But you are right, it doesn’t hurt that he is eye candy.
I thought that given the voting standards in the US, where we elect a President just because he talks a good game, good looks would be an asset too.
jenny commented:
Sally Quinn’s indepth analysis is stunning. Apparently “hunkiness” is a criteria she uses in her own voting decision making process. geesh!
Mutnodjmet commented:
A couple of points:
1) We were recently treated to Obama’s pecs during his recent Hawaii vacation (hey – I thought he was working 36 hours daily to undo the Bush mess). Therefore, Scott’s Cosmo spread should be just peachy, according to the current standards of Quinn journalism.
2) Scott Brown — best “stimulus package” evah! Just sayin’!
wanumba commented:
Sally Quinn has been subjecting us to this sort of vapid commentary for decades.
Just connected, gossipy people, not talented and truly knowledgeable people.
Robert commented:
None of them get it. Not even the Republicans.
Maybe a simplification will help.
We don’t want their super-state intruding in our lives.
marie commented:
How does an atheist get to be a religion writer?I do not understand why O’Reilly has this dingbat on his show.
spayandneuter commented:
That is so demeaning to voters, to even suggest that someone would vote for someone because they were in a magazine 20+ years ago. I am so disgusted that the media portrays us like idiots.

Jill commented:
She writes a party column, too. She ought to stick to that. Her religious and political observations are embarrassing.
Meryl commented:
Ok, Sally. You feel all better now? Idiots.
USMC Thomas commented:
I think Insipid Sally is trying to suggest some vague immorality with the semi-nude posing bit… shocking, my dear.
This from a twit who slept with her Boss and married him after he dumped his wife.
brucefdb commented:
Not a big Oreilly fan but libs are looking pretty desperate at the moment. I hope we can celebrate tomorrow.
LarryG commented:
Don’t bother Sally while she processes. She might utter something reasonable.
Tired of talking head. commented:
You cares if he posed in a magazine 20 years ago. You cares if he drives a truck. Mass. will have a shining star if they get Brown elected.
MidwestPundit commented:
One of the most transparently condescending comments out of the MSM ever.
Ladue Pundit commented:
Sally Quinn is an adulteress who broke up the first marriage of her current husband.
Can’t she just be happy with that damnable offense and move on?
TexasTrooper commented:
Sally Quinn must want a piece of McHunk Brown lol
Floyd Looney commented:
While I have zero respect for people who take their clothes off for the camera, its an easy choice when the other person is pure evil.

Craig Klein commented:
Always amazing to see the depths to which people will reach in effort to avoid the truth.
Greg commented:
Well that should just about make it official. The truth has completely escaped from the minds of Democrats.
Cherie commented:
If posing in Cosmo helps you get elected then why isn’t Cindy Crawford President.
M.L. commented:
Sally: I know you do NOT want people to remember that in JANUARY 2006 the Democrats took control of Congress (both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate) under the leadership of Pelosi and Reid and Obama took his Senate seat. It is past time to stop blaming Bush!!! Look where the Democrats have taken America in the past 4 years. I will be voting for SCOTT BROWN tomorrow.
newton commented:
Uh… Sally… That Cosmo spread was published 28 years ago this June… Hello?!?
What? Does that mean that no Republican should do a nude spread, ever? I’ll give her two words: Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Greg commented:
If the Republican wins in Massachusett’s the White House will release a new Official White House Photo of The Commander In Chief. Truly a rare moment of honesty! http://www.weaselzippers.net/.a/6a00e008c6b4e588340120a7e9f016970b-pi
Opus #6 commented:
Robert, I agree with you completely. Scott Brown being the 41st vote against Obamacare made the country sit up and take notice.
We winked about his Cosmo centerfold to disarm the left, who were SURE to try and use that against him. Guess what. I wanted to be a model 20 years ago too. He was more successful than I was. I won’t hold it against him.
Jackie commented:
Go Scott. Why should we have an issue with Mr. Brown posing nude when women do this for gazillions.
At least he isn’t just a good body like all the various playgirls. He has gone on to do good things as he has grown.
From Minnesota commented:
When I saw her say this my first thought was she brought it up in an attempt to discourage some voters from voting for Scott by linking his name with “semi-nude photos.”
O’Reilly stopped her from making more comments about it–but by mentioning it she was able to plant the “seed” of doubt in some people’s mind–which seemed like her intent.
akw commented:
Minnesota, I think a lot of commentators might have done that, but Sally Q. just isn’t that clever or smart.
She truly is the kind of woman who would consider voting for someone because she thinks they’re a “hunk” and they were “naughty” enough to pose semi-nude 28 years ago. She thinks EVERYONE evaluates candidates the same way she does – she’s projecting. The only reason she has a voice in politics, or anything else, is her husband’s career. She slept her way to the top, and thinks that everyone else has the same standards! LOL
Patrick in Des Moines commented:
Let’s see… couple this with the AP pushing the “Mass. has never elected a woman” theme, and you have a coordinated effort from the MSM to label Brown a mimbo and Coakley historic.
If you don’t vote for her… you’re sexist.
S. Wolf commented:
I’ve posed semi-nude, too, big deal, what guy hasn’t? Many a time I’ve posed half nekkid on the beach while my lady friend snapped pictures. More power to Brown.
Mondo commented:
Scott Brown’s hunki-liciousness apparently burned itself into Sally Quinn’s consciousness 28 years ago and she….can’t…..get….it…out…of…her….mind!!
Joe Biden commented:
What’s the big deal, it’s not like he was snorting blow in college

proreason commented:
Sally Quinn is probably the perfect representative for the mainstream press.
Her occasional appearances on Fox show those of us who aren’t regular consumers of WaPro and the Times just how profound and complex “journalists” have become for the publications that favor liberal views (i.e., all of them).
She must have been a sweet piece in her younger days.
Scrapiron commented:
“Sally Quinn, the ‘religion writer’ at the Washington Post” Sounds like she has the hots for a married man, and maybe an oberduche tingle in her legs.
Jerry commented:
Sally is the reigning Mattress Back at the Post.
The only reason she is there is because she slept with the bosses back in the 70′s and 80′s. She is a throwback to the 70′s mentality and a laughing stock to anyone with a brain.
Derak commented:
Diane Sawyer spoke of Browns background this evening as a former model. Cue’d up the Cosmo spread.
No Lt Col in the National Guard, No Jag attorney, No state senator, nothing relevant but the Cosmo deal.
Diane? I saw that spread 28 years ago when I was 22 and he dropped my jaw then, and does today. That he has maintained that certain edge tells me he is one formidable man.
Weep, Diane, weep. Yer all toast.
SukieTawdry commented:
Well, sleeping one’s way to fame and fortune no doubt gives one a certain perspective.
Richard Blaine commented:
It’s about time that we had a Senator who looks good naked!
Jeff commented:
Something creepy is afoot…why does Google automatically enter “nude” after the words “Sarah Palin”? Perhaps someone needs to explicate this whole naked politician business in an article.
WhiteyBulgerLives commented:
Thanks to that centerfold 20 years ago, my insiders tell me that Brown has the gay vote…… by inches.
rosemary costello commented:
My goodness I have not seen Sally Quinn for a long time on TV, but she looks like she is in her nineties. What is with that hairdo????
nigel commented:
Sally needs to get new batteries and stay at home.
TheATLMac commented:
Isn’t that the same Sally Quinn who wrote a Mother’s Day article praising Michelle Obama’s arms?
John Randolph commented:
Sally Quinn should grow up. O’Reilly should not have her on his show. Waste of time.
Faydra commented:
I’m with #13 The Scribbler, plus I can name a lot more. I’m surprised that some want to pick out what Scott Brown did 28 years ago when they seemed to be okay with what “Teddy” did so many years prior. Another note….if this health care that Mass. has is so wonderful, why did Teddy” go to Duke when he became ill?
Just a thought.
