I’ve got both Lenin and Stalin T-shirts as well as good ol’ Comrade Che. I would have married Uncle Joe in a flat second! (In fact in my past life I think I did–maybe it wasn’t such a good idea after all.)

But I’d really go for this guy. Bad a$$ through and through, give you rides on his (stolen) motorcycle, rob banks for you when you were broke! He was always packing heat so no one would dare mess with you!

Plus for some reason he reminds me of a hawk that I saw trying to kill a dove in my backyard.

I’m attracted to Sarah Palin’s [feet](http://steampunkpalin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/feet3.jpg). The rest of her? Not so much.

If we’re talking Manson Followers, I would pick Lynette ‘Squeaky’ Fromme. A cute little redhead.

Thank you! You just saved me a few hours of Googling trying to find this guy. I saw his photo in some true crime book when I was a teen. Hot. Damn.

You always read about how good looking Bundy was, and how that helped him charm victims, but he [was hardly a hottie](http://members.tripod.com/diagnosis_sk/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/tedbundy.jpg), IMHO. I think people were just bowled over by his lack of horns.

My addition: serial killer [Charles Starkweather](http://www.alteregocinema.com/starkweather1.jpg) had a cute/bad boy look about him. Which was exactly as he intended. Clearly going for James Dean, but probably closer to [Steve Zahn in Reality Bites](http://media.nola.com/treme-hbo/photo/treme-davis-mcalary-34951538d7990942_medium.jpg).

I always thought the [young Patty Hearst](http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=patty+hearst+photos&view=detail&id=B83B5548FBFDAF3A39EDA9F9F7727C834573F838&first=0) was rather attractive. Not to say rich…

I’m not acquainted with his music, but something mysterious about [Tupac Shakur](http://www.2pacquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/tupac4.jpg)’s eyes is strangely compelling and charismatic. I don’t know what it is about him, but those eyes really have a lot going for them.

I’ve always found [Raoul Cedras](http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/942489.stm), former de facto leader of Haiti, strangely attractive. He was encouraged to self-exile to Panama by the U.S.

I find a lot of the rabid Republicans and Fox anchors, reports and “analysts” hot\*. I figure this is a strategy started by Roger Ailes: they find someone who is attractive to get the viewers or voters interested. No one ever went broke pandering to the American public.  
\*Although Sarah Palin actually doesn’t do much for me. I probably would scarcely notice her if she weren’t famous.
