NY Post Columnist Bashes Huma
Maureen Callahan at the New York Post:
It’s also time to declare a moratorium on the line that Huma Abedin is the smartest, shrewdest, most level-headed and glamorous asset the Democratic Party has, and if she’s OK with Anthony, we should be, too. Clearly, there is something very wrong with Abedin — whether it’s simply that she shares her husband’s vaulting ambition or that she has a pathological need to be publicly humiliated, something’s up. When The New York Times is calling for you to take your sad assemblage of sexual compulsions out the door, you should consider that a wake-up call. Silda may have stood by Eliot, but even she never opened her mouth in his defense.
Abedin took the good-wife act one step further at Tuesday’s press conference, admitting her collusion in this new lie: “We discussed all of this before Anthony decided to run for mayor,” she said. So clearly, as Abedin sat for these joint interviews in which Weiner claimed to be a changed man, she knew that wasn’t the truth, and was happy to lie to a public that had been nothing but sympathetic toward poor, brilliant Huma, saddled with such a dud. Perhaps they’re a better match than we knew.
Yup. To me, if she wants to do the stand by your man thing, I say whatever. Who am I to tell her that she is ruining her life by hitching her wagon to a sociopathic, remorseless narcissist? Maybe she’s not — it worked out for Hillary!
But when you contribute to a false story line and help Big Media portray your husband as reformed, that’s where I lose sympathy. Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s Anthony Weiner’s tears of remorse.
Patrick, I love your turn of phrase. I hope you don’t mind if I borrow that line in the future.

Color_Me_Cuckoo (96b0c0) — 7/25/2013 @ 7:22 amShe may even have another agenda. She is up to her eyeballs in the Muslim Brotherhood. The whole story of romance is just too weird. He is a creep whereas Bill Clinton was just horny like so many politicians.
Mike K (dc6ffe) — 7/25/2013 @ 7:49 amHillary should get herself a new hoochie this one’s done made a spectacle of her freaky ass
happyfeet (8ce051) — 7/25/2013 @ 8:03 amGod save the taxpayers of NYC if he becomes mayor. Knowing what is known, thus far, about how little self control this person has, how’s the city going to handle the financial burden. Because, c’mon, it’s not like it wouldn’t ever happen. Repeatedly. As for the little woman of the house, she’s got an aspiration or two, herself. She is the opposite of dumb, desperate and beaten down. When I read way back that they were married, my Kroger brand aluminum antennae went off the charts.
Color_Me_Cuckoo (96b0c0) — 7/25/2013 @ 8:48 amHer pathetic calculation to “do a Hillary” and stand by her man omits one big thing: Weiner has accomplished exactly nothing to date. At least Bill was governor and then president.

Sammy Finkelman (be6791) — 7/25/2013 @ 8:55 amShe is just as guilty as he is. She loves the power.
Ghost (996b5a) — 7/25/2013 @ 9:23 amSince she was Hillary Clinton’s “body woman,” someone whose job it is to shadow the VIP and anticipate all of her needs, perhaps some of the speculation as to just what needs the lovely Miss Abedin was anticipating and meeting for Mrs Clinton are closer to the truth than polite people would admit. If so, then she’s been well trained to kneel down and take care of non-traditional employer requirements.
Oh, this is just so wrong! I hereby denounce myself.

The Islamist Dana (3e4784) — 7/25/2013 @ 9:50 amHuma has turned out exactly the way I thought she would after reading her background when they got married. But I kept my thoughts to myself because what could an average old white woman know anyway. He is a lying dirtbag and she is an enabler.
PatAZ (1efe5e) — 7/25/2013 @ 9:56 amAndy McCarthy has a superb post up on NRO that details Abedin’s questionable background, past activities and association with Muslim Bros., and jihadist organizations. After reading that, I began thinking how the sick Weiner might fall into the “self-hating Jew” category.
Colonel Haiku (017a27) — 7/25/2013 @ 10:25 amShould add that if you haven’t read McCarthy’s piece, you should.

She hadn’t willed-a
To become Silda
And become so very pride free.
Huma swallowed her pride

She did what she could
For the big dud

JVW (23867e) — 7/25/2013 @ 2:56 pmSo whatchado is you paint the whole thing, from the beginning of the world up to the present, as being the doormat’s fault.
Weiner can use the already apparent ties between Huma and Muslim Terrorist Inc. as the impedus for his otherwise insane antics.
That makes Tony a closet patriot.
Then he gets to play up the “I’ve taken one for the team. Keeping an eye on the Huma sleeper cell for the good of the Republic, so that you don’t have too.”
Just one niggling detail. Someone has to kill Hillary for it to work.
Maybe not.
papertiger (c2d6da) — 7/25/2013 @ 2:57 pmI listened to his press conference and we shouldn’t pay attention to this stuff–it’s all about what he can do for the voters, don’t you know?

And if she takes off her top, maybe her husband will sext her, too! 😆
The appreciative Dana (3e4784) — 7/26/2013 @ 4:04 amNo.3 – You wrote in part: “… He [Weiner] is a creep whereas Bill Clinton was just horny like so many politicians.”
Although I do not think any right minded person could disagree with the first part, I think Juanita Broaddrick (and a few other ladies) might challenge the later part of that statement.

Clinton simply is not as abrasive as Weiner and Weiner simply has no friends. But recall Clinton presided over their marriage ceremony – he married them.
Gary L. Zerman (c788fc) — 7/26/2013 @ 5:34 amYes, let’s be explicit here, Juanita Broaddrick accused Bill Clinton of forcible rape, she had documented injuries and she told friends what happened.
Hillary used her team of character assassins, the Bimbo Eruption Squad, to smear Broaddrick, direct State authorities to investigate Broaddrick’s business, and harass the victim into semi-silence.
ropelight (6b4a2d) — 7/26/2013 @ 5:48 amAnd that’s where Darth Hillary’s true character and second rate intellect was revealed. If she were Sidious quality, she would have been writing the checks for Bill to maintain one or more discreet mistresses. And not very expensive ones, either — Bill is not finicky.
nk (875f57) — 7/26/2013 @ 5:55 amAnd I may have just gotten an insight into my Persian crush-object. All she needs to pay is the Verizon bill. If that’s not being a frugal housewife, nothing is. 😉
nk (875f57) — 7/26/2013 @ 6:01 amBut recall Clinton presided over their marriage ceremony – he married them.
That speaks volumes, the perfect symbolism. But give Bill’s wife credit for being good at dodging sniper fire when caught on an airport tarmac in Bosnia.
Our modern, hip, compassionate society of today is dumbed down, way, way down.

The traditional marriage Dana (3e4784) — 7/26/2013 @ 7:17 amAfter reading Dave Weigel’s (unusually) astute observation that the exotic Huma we know is pretty much a public persona who was entirely a PR creation, it caused me to ponder that she seems to share this particular scenario with our current president. IOW, a mostly vacuous spiritually empty attention seeking narcissistic person with “outsider” credentials attempting to masquerade as an important brilliant stylish super human. Add a lust for power and fame and a political agenda and a marriage that might have helped further some goals, and you get a Barack-Huma. Hmmm.
More and more it looks like the image we’ve all been fed about wonderful Huma is just a persona that was created out of whole cloth– and it started long before she married Anthony. It is curious why she has been being positioned so– and one wonders who is really behind it.

elissa (6f2038) — 7/26/2013 @ 7:25 amAnd a segue to a serenade for Huma. (Might upset Mark, though.) H/t SayUncle.
nk (875f57) — 7/26/2013 @ 7:29 amNo. 37, Colonel Haiku – thanks for linking Andrew McCarthy’s 7/24/13 National Review column The Huma Unmentionables. http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/354351/huma-unmentionables-andrew-c-mccarthy . Here are the concluding three (3) paragraphs, that so aptly captured the D.C. shuffle, dysfunction and dystopia:
Naturally, what did get Washington chattering was a scandal far more typical in Clinton circles — the lucrative arrangement Ms. Abedin struck with Mrs. Clinton’s State Department that allowed her, after returning from maternity leave, to draw a $135,000 State Department salary while remaining in New York, not actually working at Foggy Bottom, and moonlighting as a “strategic consultant” for an outfit called Teneo – founded by Bill Clinton’s chum Doug Band.
What a racket. The marriage to Huma Abedin, a Clinton insider, enables Anthony Weiner to resurrect a debased career and deflect attention from his psychotic antics even as he continues them. The marriage to Anthony Weiner, a prominent Jewish progressive, enables Huma Abedin to deflect attention from her associations with various Islamic supremacists even as, during her tenure as a top State Department official, American policy embraces Islamic supremacists.
But let’s not discuss that.
