WONDER' WHAT THEY'RE THINKING

Normally I wouldn't partake in the tabloid fodder that has consumed this fine country as of late, but I couldn't resist THIS. That's Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, in the center. Pretty much the only woman. Directly behind Pelosi, sniffing her left earlobe is Rahm Emanuel. He is President Obama's Chief of Staff.



Here are two public figures, happily married...to different people, sharing a moment, in my auspicious eye, of sexual arousal on literally a public stage, with cameras, in front of the flag. Whatever pictures of torture President Obama is withholding must be pretty bad if he is willing to let this one slide.

Big Deal or Non Event: Is it my failure to realize politicians share intimate moments with colleagues? Are they not normal people like you and me with humanly conditions? Do we unassumingly view our political leaders through stain-glasses windows?

Or is it uncomfortable imagery that acts as metaphor for a one-party political system that incubates power lusting and incest?

You decide, link to the rest of the photos:
