My former boss, Maria Cantwell, is a lot of things, some good, some bad. One of the good things, at least according to 40,000 readers who responded to a Huffington Post poll, is that she’s sexy as hell. Sexier, in fact, than any senator, male or female, in all the land. Sexier, even, than MacKenzie Phillips (pictured here, before her looks took a thrashing from controlled substance abuse), to whom the purportedly comely Cantwell has often been compared.
