Anthony Weiner’s 34-year-old wife, Huma Abedin, has to deal with her husband’s public shame, after the media had a field day with the NY Representative’s lewd underwear photo that was sent to an attractive female college student.
Huma married Weiner just over a year ago and is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s trusted right-hand woman, serving as her aide since 1996 when she began as an intern when Mrs. Clinton was First Lady in 1996. Former President Clinton even referred to Abedin as his “second daughter.”
Abedin, born in Michigan and raised in Saudi Arabia, was named TIME magazine’s “40 Under 40” rising stars of American politics last fall and was featured in a 2007 issue of Vogue magazine. She is the daughter of an Indian scholar father and Pakistani academic mother. The high-profile beauty is considered to be quite the catch, with Weiner once joking that she was almost too good to be true.
Remaining poised and not showing signs of embarrassment or anger over her husband’s public scandal, a State Insider told the NY Post, “She has been doing her job like nothing [has happened]. It has nothing to do with her job. This is her personal life.”
This isn’t the first time Huma has seen a sex scandal unfold before her. She worked at the White House during the Monica Lewinsky debacle in the late ’90s. The State insider added, “She [Abedin] has the benefit of seeing [the Clinton administration]. She knows how absurd things can get.”
Meanwhile, her husband said he is done talking about his provocative boxer briefs pic. “After almost 11 hours of answering questions, I’m going to have to get back to work, doing the job that I am paid to do.” (read more)
Over at iOTW BigFurHat has his own ideas into what exactly is going on. (Via IOwnTheWorld) I Think I Understand What Is Going On With Weiner – These vague answers, the dodging, the oiliness is making things much worse for this already unlikeable weasel.
When asked if it’s him in the picture he evades and says I didn’t send it. When called on this evasion tactic and asked again, he says, “we are going to get to the bottom of what happened here.”
It’s pretty clear to me what this is all about.
His wife knows this is him. She recognizes the underwear, the spindly legs, and whatever else she’s able to identify. So she has laid the law down, “you cannot go out there and lie, that is what is going to bite you in the ass. It’s not what you did, you creepy moron, but the lying about it is what will prevent me from living the life of a politician’s wife, you ugly worm. Why do you think I married you? For that thing in your pants that you’re so proud of ?”
Every action by Weiner fits this scenario.
