South Carolina Has Pretty People in Politics

 

Politics isn’t filled only with grumpy old guys who sit around muttering, “Harrumph.” At least that’s according to The Hill — the Washington, DC-based congressional newspaper that reports daily on “the inner-workings of Congress, as well as the nexus between politics and business.”

In its annual list of “The Hill’s 50 Most Beautiful People,” two of South Carolina’s own cracked the top ten — one from Charleston, the other from Greenville.

Coming in at #4, the American Chemistry Council’s 28 year old Julian Malasi moved with his family to Charleston from Fier, Albania when he and his twin brother were teenagers.

Since his brother didn’t make the move to DC with him after school, the Spanish and international-relations graduate from the University of South Carolina doesn’t normally have to worry about uncomfortable, confusing conversations with girls who mistake him for the identical Euclid like he did during college. The brothers do still love to compete with each other, though.

Two spots later, #6 on the list spotlights 25 year old Marian White. If you’re wondering if a girl from Greenville named White might be related to anyone you’ve heard of, the answer is, “Yes.” The former staff assistant for the House Judiciary Committee’s GOP members is the daughter of Greenville mayor Knox White.

A graduate of Furman University, White came to The Hill to be staff assistant and scheduler to former 3rd Congressional District Representative Gresham Barrett, but her time inside the Beltway recently ended when she moved to Boston to begin her graduate studies in marketing and advertising.

See. Politics doesn’t have to be ugly…especially when South Carolina’s involved.
