A photo of MP Melhem Riachi flanked by female MPs Nada Bustani and Ghada Ayoub ignited the interest of tweeters, theorists, and observers on social media. Two beautiful women in red dresses attract any man who appreciates the allure of vibrant colors and the noise of femininity. Coincidentally, Riachi, who recently joined the parliamentary session happily, masters the art of communication with both close and distant individuals, which has preoccupied those with nothing else to do. Riachi's laughter is a pound. The two rival female MPs are delighted with this rare parliamentary snapshot, suggesting that all is well between "the man of joyful laughter" and the illuminating "Movement." This was the conclusion reached by ground and aerial observers, further reinforced by a picture of George Adwan opening his arms to Ibrahim Kanaan, his expression seemingly saying, "Oh my dear, come quick and see what happened to me..." Each observer began weaving scenarios and imagining conspiracies woven in the threads of the disappointing committee elections for the revolutionaries and satisfying for maestro Nabih Berri. The image serves as a pretext for verbal assaults.
Days before the picture of Melhem and the ladies, particularly during the first parliamentary sessions to elect a president, vice president, and a committee, cameras captured a shot of a hidden peace between Ali Hassan Khalil and the Metn deputy, which body language experts deemed a conspiracy against the change agenda and a mutual interests exchange. Riachi was expected to extend his foot, not his hand, and "bristle" Khalil to affirm the political enmity between "Ain el-Tineh" and Maarab. Riachi exposed himself twice: first with a fleeting peace gesture to aide Ali, and second, by showcasing his admiration for "Women in Red." Imagine if Melhem posed with colleagues Halima Al-Qaqour and Cynthia Zarazir? The buddy-buddy atmosphere amongst the fellow MPs and their good neighborliness provoked public opinion and prominent Facebook theorists.
What crime did revolution guide Melhem Khalaf commit by expressing admiration for Mohammed Raad's savvy, as inferred from a collection of photos? And when he greeted Akram Shehayeb with the bright-faced Mohammed Raad with a friendly smile, does this indicate a new Jumblattian shift and an opening of the Mukhtara towards Tehran? Does the photo of Sheikh Sami Gemayel with brother Jihad Al-Samad implicitly mean the inclusion of Al-Samad into the Kataeb MPs group or the involvement of the Kataeb in the Consultative Meeting? And what can be said about the duo of Ali Fayyad and Hagop Pakradounian in a photo that gathered them outside parliament, or brought together by Nabil Ismail, with "supporting the handrail" and Hagop with his opened galiboun...? And when you see Mark Dou with Hussein Hajj Hassan in compatibility and harmony, both without ties, how can you guess who is Mark and who is Hussein?
