You sexy (and powerful) things

Britain's Gordon Brown may be headed for electoral defeat next year, but at least he is sexier than Kevin Rudd. That's according to this website* that rates world leaders on the basis of "hotness". No. 1 is Yulia Tymoshenko, the Prime Minister of Ukraine (pictured) -- and it would be difficult to argue against that judgment. Brown is 84th, Rudd 93rd and Barack Obama is 15th. The top 10 includes Jens Stoltenberg (Norway), Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck King (Bhutan), Joseph Kabila (DR Congo), Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (Argentina), Rafael Correa (Ecuador), Grand Duke Henri (Luxembourg), Roosevelt Skerrit (Dominica), Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo (Philippines) and Bamir Topi (Albania). At the bottom of the list is North Korea's Kim Jong-il, just trailing Pope Benedict.
