How about a little cheese with that whine?

In the print edition of today's The Hill (I can't find it online, but please add a link to the comments if you can find it), page 8 boasts a photo with the following headline and caption:

"MOST BEAUTIFUL?

Friends and admirers of Christy Markva, a staffer on the House Small Business Committee, think she should have been on The Hill's list of 50 most beautiful people on Capitol Hill. You be the judge."

It is one thing to lobby for the inclusion of yourself, your co-workers, and your secret crushes on this ridiculous list. It is quite another to complain that you weren't included. What is next? An appeal process for Miss America losers?

At least our friend Marvelle did not stoop to these depths just to get his picture in The Hill.
