Rahm Emanuel And Nancy Pelosi's Photographic Chemistry (SLIDESHOW)

We're the first to admit it: we've been following Rahm Emanuel a little closely lately, but we can't help but notice the sparks flying between Obama's Chief of Staff and Madame Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi. Sometimes it's glances that leave our toes curled and sometimes it's just the two of them giggling like school girls behind the bleachers, but one thing's for sure: it's always entertaining.

Mischief usually comes back to bite on on the ass.

[littleblackcat]

Anyone with a camera, quick fingers, and lots of time can take pictures that can be lined up in sequences that give a completely different cast to any situation. Just catch the expressions on faces when someone giggles, yawns, bites into something that crunches when it shouldn't, sneezes, or is startled, and you can have a field day. Someone has taken a lot of time to try to make things look as if there is something going between these two, maybe there is, probably there is not. Frankly, it would be difficult not to look delighted with the changes President Obama has been able to effect after the years of the bushco disaster.
I am also old enough to be Rahm Emanuel's mother and I am not dead yet. He is an attractive man.

Politics make strange bedfellows. Public nuzzling leads to private canoodling.

[karela]

Wishing we were the one being canoodled leads to projecting that on others when all they had in mind was friendship. Rahm and Nancy Pelosi worked very hard together getting more Democrats elected to the House and they are obviously good friends. Look at the pictures closely and you'll see that Nancy is not doing anything you couldn't do with your son. But that Rahm is one of those guys who makes women feel special without meaning anything more by it. Nuzzling her hair over her ear. Indeed. You rascal. And feel free to do it to me. Harmless and fun.

Caption for penultimate photo: "Mmmm.... Nancy, what's nudgin' on you is definitely NOT a pistol in my pocket"

[DoctorDirector]

If I were married to one of them, I'd feel weird after seeing a couple of those photos.

Caption for the fifth or sixth pic:

"And that's why I'm the CHIEF of staff."

Sparks between Nancy and Rahm? How cool is that! ...as long as it's platonic, he's married.

[Margo Arrowsmith]

So is she, but yes, its cool.

She could also be his mother, so its even cooler.

Lim baugh really jumped the shark when he went on a campaign to show us all that Rahm is 'effeminate' lol What a silly mistake that one was, silly and revealing.

Nancy is 69, the mother of five and the grandmother of seven. Rahm is a comparative baby who at 50 is nearly thirty years younger, has three young children under about 8 yrs. and loves his wife, Amy Rule. He talks to Amy via cell phone several times each day. Here's a link to a picture of Rahm with his kids at Synagogue:http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.jewishjournal.com/images/articles/rahm350.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.jewishjournal.com/nation/article/rahm_emanuel_obamas_pick_for_chief_of_staff_is_tough_direct_and_wedded_to_h/&usg=__ScklHTlqtDcOM756z6yQJ179Pc8=&h=251&w=350&sz=15&hl=en&start=4&tbnid=r2Hw8RhPyKeOeM:&tbnh=86&tbnw=120&prev=/images%3Fq%3DRahm%2BEmmanuel%2527s%2Bchildren%26gbv%3D2%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26sa%3DG

And here's a photo of Rahm and Amy with their two little girls. There are very few pictures of Amy. She and the kids seem to be kept out of the lime light;I suspect for security and privacy.

Amy walks like a woman who can take care of business.

[berrycooda]

looking pretty smug....

wonder what they have been conniving about.

[swo68]

It feels icky. Like thinking about your parents doing it.

[ywcachieve]

LOL

[Badgirl]

Really Inexplicable. The X factor. The Ick factor. The PDA. Can anyone explain this incomprehensible phenomenon? It looks like a shampoo commercial. We all know this won't end well. It's all over except for the fighting.

[ATTS bb3]

Wow; dema-gaga; 17+ pages of blushing posts over pop-psych speculations amongst the choir?!?

[American50]

Yea here we have the Fish Sender and the One that smells fishy

[dphilip]

Caption; "you know Nancy, for being a democrat politician for as many years as you have been, you can't lie worth a dam"..

[Javida]

If Pelosi and Emmanuel were single, we'd have a titillating story to follow, much like those Taster's Choice coffee commercials of the 'neighbors w/ chemistry.' Their chemistry runneth over. Hopefully, it's for a political formula that will serve our country very well. ;D

[BigBagel]

God help you.

[RevengeIsNear]

Cool.

[HGMercury]

Whatever it is they are whispering about, it's definitely mischievous.
