I was just flipping through the channels and saw a report by Ashleigh Banfield. And, like ever other time I see this woman on TV, I have to stop flipping through the channels just to marvel at her beauty. She could be reporting on hog futures or testicular cancer and I’d still be smitten with this woman. She’s smart, beautiful and can somehow pull off wearing those really ugly glasses. Damn, I want to marry this woman. Anyone else got the hots for Ashleigh? Slee (Yeah, I know we are at war, but she is _HOT_) ---

You must also dig Tina Fey? I agree that Miss Banfield is very easy on the eyes, but I’ve been pretty partial to Diane Sawyer lately. No, really… ---

She was a news co-anchor for a local television station here in Dallas-Fort Worth for a few years. I am a big fan–she is absolutely gorgeous! ---

Oh and when she worked here she was blonde and didn’t wear glasses. ---

Americans do seem to like us Canucks reporting their news (see also: Peter Jennings, John Roberts, Keith Morrison, to name a few). ---

She looks cute, but for some reasons she’s not my taste. I’m rather fond of CNN’s Daljit Dhaliwal though: [Daljit Dhaliwal Fanpage](http://zapatopi.net/daljit.html) ---

Daljit! Oh, yeah! I never knew her name until now, but I used to run across _World News for Public Television_ on our local affiliate and just get entranced. Mmmmmm … ---

Daljit Daliwhal is on CNN now? The horror! I’ll never take anything she says seriously again! I liked her so much on ITN, too. ---

I remember Ashleigh back when she was toiling away as a reporter for channel 7 here in Calgary. It does my heart good to see the Canadian talent make it big on an international stage. Yeah, she’s hot. [slight hijack] I still can’t take John Roberts seriously. After years of watching him as one of the original Much Music VJs, I can’t look at J.D. (as he was known back then) without remembering him with his long, curly, Van Halen-style hair, red and white Hawaiian shirt, and disturbingly tight jeans, talking about upcoming videos from Spandau Ballet and the Spoons.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Optihut \* > [Daljit Dhaliwal Fanpage](http://zapatopi.net/daljit.html) The second pic on that page prompted the following thought, completely unbidden: “I wonder why she has such a big picture of Adrien Brody on her site?” ---

mmmmm… Daljit Dhaliwal mmmmmm… I don’t find Ashleigh Banfield to be all that attractive, her face just doesn’t look right. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ashleigh-banfield-is-a-babe/163499.md?page=2)
