According to the edublog This Week in Education — or, more accurately, according to its author, past drinking buddy Alexander Russo — I am Hot…For Education. (If politics is Hollywood for ugly people, I wonder what the education policy/reporting world would be. Kansas City for the introverted?)

Quoth Russo:

He may be on sabbatical or something, but The Dallas Morning News’ award winning reporter and columnist Josh Benton makes women fall off their seats. Not just ones he’s interviewing. We’ve seen it happen at EWA events. Come back, Josh, come back!

Eventually, man, eventually. Let me write this novel first.

I always thought this Gawker post got the “hot for” phenomenon right.
