So I'm watching the NBC Nightly News the other night and somehow a split screen appears that makes it difficult for me to hear or care what Brian "Haircut" Williams is even talking about. He's handing off the story to Becky Quick, whom I have since come to learn is a correspondent for CNBC's Squawk Box program.
Apparently I am late to Rebecca's fan club. She joins a long line of News Babes with quite a following online these days including Fox News's Laurie Dhue, CBS's Lara Logan, and of course, French TV's legendary and incomparable Melissa Theuriau.
Here she is later in the story interviewing investment guru Warren Buffett. With the billions of dollars of disposable income he has, he should be making Becky an offer she can not refuse right now.
Wait, she is throwing it back to Brian now. But who just walked into the frame behind her? Who is distracting me from my sweet Rebecca? 
I'm not kidding. It's a...shall we say, older and plumper woman who I swear to God is eating a cupcake on TV during the national evening news. I hope Becky will order her killed.
It's Pat!

Wow, I hadn't seen the French reporter before I read your blog. My husband and I watched the youtube clip together and we were both amazed. She's H O T!
That last lady, not so much.

You got to check out pixie-ish Rym Brahimi who was CNN International Correspondent before she married Jordanian royalty, or something like that. Nowadays there is Christie Lu Stout, another real looker on CNN International.
You also have the other end of the spectrum. A couple of the Euro/Atlanta based anchorwomen are real cows.

Ahtchy-Mahtchy!
Melissa Theuriau destroys all those ofter women. God bless the wonders of French socialism.

Is there a more heavenly angel than Melissa Theuriau? I think not. Wow! One amazing reason to like France.

Of course, Joey Ramone wrote a song about Maria Bartiromo.

Becky, what's with the helmet hair?

Dude. The Frech chick trumps them all....Lara looks cute enough for Laurie looks like she's had too much plastic surgery...

Bean, don't be an ass. Why are you picking on that woman? She can't help her age and she can't do much about the natural shape of her facial and bodily features.
But then, you are one to talk, being a GQ magazine coverboy...
