There have been other threads about news babes we have crushes on, and I mentioned her then. Tonight, after a long day of packing, then a break to go watch the kids in the band preview this year’s drill, I come home to have a beer, turn on the tube and Lovely Anna is in black. With bus wife snoring on the couch next to me, this is the cruelest fate ever. ::deep sigh: ---

As a newsbabe aficionado myself, I know what you’re talking about. One day a year or so ago, Lis Wiehl, my favorite power lawyer who’s blonde, creamy skinned, and fond of pastels like ice blue and hot pink, appeared in a sleek sleeveless black dress. I wanted to crawl into the television set and never come out… ---

> [@FriarTed](#): > > well, at least you’re not after MY women- Kristina Abernathy of The Weather Channel and Chris Jansing of MSNBC. Yay for Chris J! She used to work for the Albany (NY) NBC affiliate and everyone loved her and we still miss her around here! But it’s good to know she’s getting national coverage and, um, attention. 😃 ---

As long as we all know that I saw [Robin Meade](http://www.cnn.com/CNN/anchors_reporters/meade.robin.html) first. So back off, bitches. Of course, I may be setting my sights a wee bit tropospheric. In that case, I also mention a local weatherperson, [Nancy Van Camp](http://www.mtsu.edu/~proffice/Record/Rec_v09/rec0907/nancy.jpg). The thing about her is that neither pictures nor TV do her justice. She is absolutely gorgeous and incredibly sweet in person. I remember one night during my last internship she walked up to the assignment desk wearing this amazing black sweater. I didn’t know it was possible at the time for a sweater to be big-and-soft looking while also being pretty form-fitting. Her hair was all wet and slicked back…man. Break an aspiring journalist’s heart. ---

Darn, there’s nobody for us ladies to lust after. The closest attention I pay to a news guy, is when I stop hearing what Brian Williams is saying, and start wondering if his right eyebrow is going to scamper across the top of his head. ---
