Male anchors react to the “Is Paula Zahn Sexy?” crisis sweeping the nation:

Bob Schieffer of CBS: “I’ve always wanted to be a sex symbol, but I never seem to get very far with it.”

Chris Matthews of MSNBC: “If somebody called me sexy, I would say, ‘You made my day.’ I would also find it odd.”

Dan Rather of CBS: “I’d feel good about it, but I’d also say that stuff’s all right as long as you don’t inhale. Right behind that, I’d say: ‘If I’m really sexy, how come no one has called me to play James Bond? I’m available.’ “
