Last week, Politico reported that five people close to President Obama will appear in People Magazine's annual of the 100 Most Beautiful people. For the issue, First Lady Michelle Obama, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, White House social secretary Desiree Rogers, and assistant chef Sam Kass will be featured in a section appropriately named, "Barack's Beauties."
Michelle Obama was no surprise. All media outlets have been enamored by her since Obama won the election, while constantly discussing her choice of clothing. Emanuel and Kass, after closely examining some photographs seem like they could perhaps be worthy of the list. Also, after looking at pictures of Desiree Rogers, she too seems worthy to me. However, the one that really puzzles me is Geithner. I, by no means, am saying he's an ugly guy but the 100 most beautiful? Really?
Well, Business Insider, might have the explanation for this decision. Turns out Tim's brother, Dave, is a People executive. I don't know what kind of influence Dave could have had on the choice to put Geithner on the list. Yet, there had to have been some.
