Who’s The Hottie?

I was watching Kentucky Sen. Ran Paul, chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, interrogate Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, whom Trump has nominated as the next homeland security secretary (i.e., Kristi Noem‘s successor).

But I couldn’t fully concentrate because of the woman sitting to Paul’s rear and right, against the wall…the 20-something fashion model type with perfect ash-blonde hair and hoop earrings. I’m assuming she’s Paul’s executive assistant. I know that almost all conservative politicians love hiring foxy blondes or, failing that, foxy brunettes.

Don Simpson once told me that hotties don’t tend to make the best executive assistants because they’ve been catered to and fawned over since they were two or three years old, being beautiful and all, and therefore haven’t been encouraged by life’s rough and tumble to develop inner qualities. Don’t hire a 10, he meant — you’re better off hiring a 7.5 or an 8.
