Neel Kashkari Appears in People’s ‘Sexiest Men Alive’ Issue

While the Bush Administration has been sharply criticized for its response to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, at least one member of Hank Paulson’s team apparently still has some fans.

After being grilled by lawmakers over his agency’s handling of the $700 billion bailout, Neel Kashkari received a warm (steamy?) reception from the editors at People magazine, who included the 35-year-old Treasury official in their annual “Sexiest Men Alive” issue, The Wall Street Journal reports.

From The Wall Street Journal:

Kashkari is featured in a photo spread titled “Sexy A-Z,” under–of course–”B is for Bailout Guru.” He keeps eclectic company in the feature, sharing pages with celebrity chef Gordon Ramsey and Alaska’s First Dude, Todd Palin, as well as tennis player Rafael Nadal. Kashkari is shown fully clothed–a rarity for this skin-revealing issue–in a stern closeup giving the eagle-eyed glare so familiar to Congress.

Cash Carry?

Wtf? Kaskhari is not pronounced "cash carry." I don't think it's very hard to figure out that you're supposed to use long As...

Is CashCarry his stage name?

Doesn't it seem a little over-the-top to go by an alternative spelling of Cash Carry -- considering his job and all.. did his name compel his choice of profession? I'm just sayin'...
