Who would buy a Lara Logan calander?
i would

she's a terrific journalist who cares about the world, incredibly smart, and courageous. I don't know if it's her inner beauty or her outer beauty that's fantastic.

6. Yup! TWO beautiful women, indeed.
'Honest' is sexy. 'Smart' is sexy. 'Courageous' is sexy.

4. Yes I would and I would appreciate
a 60 minute CD of her reporting. I don't know what is more sexier - her or her voice. What a combination.

She's got more testosterone and ball material then limbaugh, hannity, savage, beck and the rest of the right wing trash combined.

17. Google is your friend...
although I won't post any pics here. Here is an article about her winning a Glamor Magazine Woman Of The Year Award. It says a lot about her.

CBS News chief foreign correspondent Lara Logan, also a woman of the year, said she had had serious reservations about accepting the shiny red statuette, thinking, "I hate women's magazines, I never read these things," and worrying that the glossies were all about "the perfect woman who's been airbrushed almost to extinction." Not too shabby herself, Logan changed her mind when she realized that the magazine was also helping to fund charities like Empowering Hands. But after "running the gauntlet" of nail salons and getting sewn into her purple dress, Logan said, "I can't wait to get back to Baghdad. New York has done me in."


Part of her acceptance speech...

“How can you show people reality if you don’t go see it yourself?” Bearing personal witness to “the cruel reality” of war is, she says, “what I was put on earth to do.”
snip
The French journalist Mariane Pearl, wife of murdered Wall Street Journal journalist Daniel Pearl, and the woman whose life is portrayed in the recent film A Mighty Heart was also awarded.


Heck even Katie Couric is quoted as saying Lara will even videotape some events herself to keep her crew from danger. I like this lady the more I read about her.

Oh and yes there's a swimsuit picture of her from when she was younger.

7. I think she deserves better than pin-up status.

I'd like to see a whole lot more of her reporting before I elevate her to goddess level.

But, that said, the short bit that I saw the other night is still more than most Americans would see in a month on their normal TV channel.

(and yes, she's smoking as well.)

I'd prefer to see her given prime time status where she reports in from the field. It sounded like that was her expertise. Back when I watched CNN, they would do that with Amanpour, just stay out of the way and let her present the info.

8. I agree..
She's incredibly beautiful but her strong point is her reporting.

15. I don't think I'll buy a Lara Logan calendar
But I'll admit looking at her is a guilty pleasure.

I usually buy either a Greenpeace or a Sierra Club calendar every year.

Very powerful speech. It starts at 1:10.

19. I would prefer an Amy Robach calendar, regardless of her political leanings.
