Cal Gals: Brianna Keilar

To ease the pain of watching the Bataan Death March that is the Democratic nomination race, I am offering up one of Cal’s finest to soothe the eyes.

Her name is Brianna Keilar and she belongs in the upper elite with Erin Andrews as one of those journalists that break the scales on both beauty and brains.

Here’s Brianna at the 2005 NFL Draft, covering Aaron Rogers and his historic first round slide.

Brianna is currently CNN’s daytime Washington D.C. correspondent covering the Obama/Clinton race and other top stories.

She made it to CNN via CBS Local in Oakland. She also worked for MTV’s campus network and covered the John Kerry race.

Brianna was born in Australia but grew up in LA. She was the homecoming queen at Mission Viejo High School (perhaps she can help with recruiting?).

She also was on the men’s golf team there. Yes, the men’s. There was no women’s golf team at the time, but she beat out the males to make the team. Looking hotter to you now, isn’t she?

She must be saying something important because there’s quite a bit of discussion about her on this board. Well, about 8,000 lines worth of discussion.

Here’s a biopic made by her high-school TV network.

And lastly, you can vote for her on TV heads.

Any Brianna stories and experiences you’d like to relate? Leave them in the comments.
