The announcement of White House press secretary Tony Snow's new cancer battle was made by his deputy, Dana Perino. This prompted Cox Newspapers to file a scannable bio of Perino, 34, that included this tidbit:

"Of note: Esquire magazine, in last year's 'Sexiest Woman Alive' issue, listed Perino among 'Women We're Ashamed to Love.' Perino, the magazine concluded, is 'hotter than Tony Snow and Scott McClellan combined. Plus, the executive branch seems so much more capable in her dulcet voice. Lie to us, Dana. Lie to us.' "
