Newt Gingrich, Rick Perry Take It Off For Republican Stud Calendar

There's something undeniably alluring about Conservative guys. Maybe it's the WASPy, preppy thing or the thrill of the forbidden and his top-shelf scotch. No matter the reason, something about a devoted young Republican is exceedingly attractive.

Now we know that whatever that spark is, it fades with age.

Vanity Fair has posted its second annual Republican Beefcake Calendar, featuring too-hot-to-handle images showcasing Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Herman Cain and a very excited, cowboy-hat-wearing Rick Perry.

"Is it hot in here or is it just...G.O.P.," the magazine asks. "The right-wing dreamboats selected out of veritable dozens for our second annual pinup calendar. We've included sexy biographical information so you can better score one of these elder married statesmen for yourself. There's an elephant in the room and it's our feelings! Are we blushing? Our face, and ballot, is all red!"
