Vanesa Burgraf did a really

Vanesa Burgraf did a really masterful job in interviewing Tunisian President Moncef Marzouki, and she is really beautiful.

I consider myself a man second to none (okay, behind DSK) in my appreciation of T&A, but I was distracted by Vanesa's dress. I found myslef wonndering, "If that job is so good, does it need all that adervtising?"

In Tunisia, I doubt that many women dress like that, execept when trying to excite a man to have sex with them.
