If you’ve ever watched Sesame Street for more than twelve minutes, you quickly realized that Bert doesn’t really enjoy Ernie’s company.  The same goes for Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel.  The two might smile together in public, but their hatred runs deep.

In a recent conversation, Emanuel tried to offer the speaker some advice on a House Democratic leadership race. “Pelosi’s response, according to several Democratic sources: It is ‘an internal House Democratic Caucus matter, and we’ll handle it.’  [damn straight]

According to Politico’s Huddle, Queen Nance is laying down the law with Rahm and recently even left him a list of her demands.  The list, which strangely wasn’t entirely published in Politico, is featured exclusively here at FDC.
