Is there a special reason that Nancy Pelosi keeps kissing men

[Debi]

and they keep kissing her back?

When men nominated men as Speaker or Majority Leader did they kiss each other?

:shrug:

[NYCGirl]

1. Because she can. NT

[xultar]

11. EXACTLY!!!

[larryepke]

2. To prove she likes them?

Given San Francisco's reputation...

[endarkenment]

3. Would you kiss Dennis Hastert? nt.

[libnnc]

4. Because she's a warm person and they love and

are are happy for her?

Some people are warm huggy types. Doesn't bother me at all.

[NYC Liberal]

5. Is there anything wrong with it?

:shrug:

10. It's not acceptable in a business situation n/t

[Bucky]

17. I've been in & out of politics for 25 years and woman pols have always kissed at meetings

It's a different kind of business. I've recieved a kiss on the cheek from a female colleague in a political setting many times. It's just a social norm & not worth paying attention to.

[RB TexLa]

23. I'm not saying it's not done, just it's not proper behavior

It's like business casual, for some reason both have just been made to seem acceptable.

[LostinVA]

40. If it IS done in that "business," then it IS proper behavior

I don't slap my colleagues' asses when we do a great job on a project, because that isn't done in my line of work. But, it is done in football, this it's proper behavior there.

41. my post, #39, was meant to respond to you

I goofed up. I agreed with you and think a handshake is more appropriate.

[Beelzebud]

20. Says who?

[sammythecat]

39. It's not the end of the world that she does that but,

I agree with you. I think a warm handshake is more appropriate.

[NYC Liberal]

21. The Democrats have a majority for the first time in 12 years

Don't mind if I forget this "transgression."

Anyway, if the worst thing that we're worried about right now is Nancy Pelosi hugging, I'd say we're doing pretty damn well.

[crispini]

22. Sheesh, I have kissed my boss on the check more than once!

And other male coworkers!

[datadiva]

36. Oh for Christ sake

I kiss my boss on the cheek occasionally, not a thing wrong with it.

[iconoclastic cat]

31. Hey, is that image in your sig from Land of the Dead? nt

[NYC Liberal]

32. If not...it's from the Land of the Soon to be Dead.

;)

[iconoclastic cat]

35. BRAAAAIINS...where are our kids' BRAAAAIIINS... nt

[NYC Liberal]

33. If not...it's from the Land of the Soon to be Dead.

;)

[Beelzebud]

6. Because she's a compassionate human being?

Either that or "They" got to her!!!!!!!111

[valerief]

7. Oh, wouldn't that be fun if they did! nt

[RB TexLa]

8. I agree with you. I'm not going to e-mail the Speaker about it but it bugs me too

I can't tell you how many times I have had to reach out to quickly grab a woman's hand to shake hands with them when they were trying to hug me in a business situation.

[StClone]

9. Bet she kissed some elected women

She can do what she likes.

[sniffa]

12. to prove she won't be behoLden to the gay agenda

[Zomby Woof]

13. OMG!

Does Cindy Sheehan know about this OUTRAGE?? :grr:

CALL CONGRESS RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!!111

[jaysunb]

14. I wish I could kiss her...

:evilgrin:

[Sugar Smack]

15. It's gotta be one of them Freemason thingies.

:tinfoilhat:

[NYCGirl]

19. Skull & Bones! Skull & Bones! Skull & Bones!!!!

:evilgrin:

I just had to do that.

[Sugar Smack]

24. OMG! LOLOLOL!

And what's with all the men kissing her on the back, anyway? That sounds ritualistic, OMG! :rofl:

[npincus]

16. Nuthin' wrong with kissing!

[The Stranger]

18. Bush kissed Traitor Leibercon.

:wtf:

[spanone]

25. I'm sure Hastert and Foley Kissed.

[azmouse]

26. Oh heck, I feel like kissing everyone today!!!

I'm just so excited about the Dems taking over! :woohoo:

[BuyingThyme]

27. San Francisco values.

[demnan]

28. The guy I worked for Congress for kissed and hugged

everyone at his thank you party. If he had won :cry: Andy Hurst would have been the biggest hugger and kisser up there.

[Rosemary2205]

29. She dabbed on a little Love Potion Number 9?

Are we talking peck on the cheek or tongues??

Really now.

[Annces]

30. I would say she works a lot on social bonds with people

to get stuff done. So it works for her. Plus I am sure a lot of men initiate it and it takes more work to push them away then to go with the flow. I am sure she does not let it cloud her judgment about a person.

[iconoclastic cat]

34. 'Cause she's a hot grandma? nt

[damntexdem]

37. It may have something to do with her sexual orientation:

politician. ;-)

[LostinVA]

42. Hehehehe -- best answer yet

[Nye Bevan]

38. If somebody had told me six months ago

that next January there would be a thread on DU asking why *Madam Speaker Nancy Pelosi* was kissing so many people....

I would have kissed them!

[IronLionZion]

43. I WISH she would kiss me

oh this is such an awesome day. I feel like kissing just about anybody right now. Any takers?

:loveya: :grouphug:
