I Hate Myself For Loving You: Jamie Tarabay

Posted by Brian Fairbanks

 

She's brilliant, gorgeous, and has an accent which is an amalgamation of several hot accents. In fact, there's no reason to feel any guilt at all for being into Jamie Tarabay... other than for the fact that she's National Public Radio's woman in Baghdad.

We therefore feel a ridiculous amount of guilt for loving her and wishing she were here with us instead of doing what she really wants to do, which is apparently to meet some sort of terrible fate for the honor of Robert Siegel.

We'd gladly sacrifice ten to eighty years off the ends our lives to marry the woman we first saw last year on "Real Time with Bill Maher." Yep, move to Baghdad and have depleted uranium babies. No, seriously, we'd move there and the consequences be damned... except now Jamie's apparently back in DC. Now we have no excuse for hating ourselves for loving her, except for the fact that we'd, uh, prefer moving to Baghdad.

P.S. You can't tell from the above pictures (can anyone link to some better shots from her "Real Time" appearance?), but she also has a fantastically attractive gap between her front teeth. Dead serious, it's really hot.

I think the fact that she's the Baghdad Bureau Chief is a turn on.

Terry Gross interviewed her (there's also a picture):

She speaks fluent Arabic and French from growing up in Lebanon and has something of an Autralian accent mixed in.
