Who's the glamorous aide always by Hillary Clinton's side? She's Huma Abedin, Vogue model and 'mythical figure' who hushes reporters with a glance.
She's won the heart of Rep. Anthony Weiner (below).
Rep. Anthony Weiner, a likely 2009 mayoral candidate, is pouring his heart into Hillary Clinton's White House bid - literally.
Weiner, whose district includes parts of Queens and Brooklyn, finally 'fessed that he is romancing Clinton's glamorous "body woman," Huma Abedin.
Asked by The Associated Press about all the time he's spending on the road campaigning for Clinton, the 43-year-old bachelor said, "It's largely because I'm dating Huma."
The whispers have been around for months, but until yesterday Weiner ducked questions about Abedin, saying his personal life was off limits.
Though she posed recently for a glamorous photo spread in Vogue, Abedin, 32, is famously press-shy.
The New York Observer, in a long profile last year, called her "a sort of mythical figure" who never has a hair out of place or a wrinkle in her Prada suit and can hush a crowd of rambunctious reporters with a single look.
"I think there's some dispute as to whether Huma's actually human or not," an admiring Weiner said then.
Abedin was born in Michigan to a Pakistani mother and an Indian father and was raised in Saudi Arabia.
She landed an internship in the First Lady's office in 1996 and quickly become her indispensable right hand.
These days, she rarely leaves the senator's side - and Weiner rarely leaves hers.
As to the hectic pace of a presidential campaign, he conceded, "It's not a great environment to forge a relationship."
*BARF*
Isn’t he Jewish? And she a Muslim?
Do her parents approve?
“She landed an internship in the First Lady’s office in 1996 and quickly become her indispensable right hand.”
One might say that I suppose. (Blech!)
Weiner....There’s a joke there...Lots of them!
Huma is cute.
“Weiner” should be - A Wiener looking for a bun...
Yep, total weiner, isn’t he?
Yes she is good looking. Weiner is such a slime congressman..
Huma is rail thin, and looks like a snotty 13 year old girl. Not attractive at all.
Seems that way - and he's a disgrace. Of course, almost all of the idiot Jews who voted for him will vote to reelect him, notwithstanding this - because "he's one of us." Even in the context of identity politics (which is usually self-defeating and always stupid), this is highly unusual. Then again, so are the uber-liberals nutjobs who happen to share a heritage with me.
I think her parents approve of anything their daughter does to achieve a meaningful martyrdom.
What could be more meaningful that taking out the president of the United States at a critical moment?
I’m deadly serious. Just my opinion. YMMV. All standard disclaimers apply.
One of my favorite movie quotes from Anger Management
“She landed an internship in the First Lady’s office in 1996 and quickly become her indispensable right hand.”
I can imagine where those their right hands have been.
What is the term for a male beard?
Why is it that every aide who doesn’t pour out their heart to the press is considered “secretive” and “operates behind the scenes?” The same is said about Karl Rove. Maybe (and I am no fan of Hillary) she is LOYAL and has professional ethics - so isn’t concerned about throwing tid-bits to loser journalists (unlike President Bush’s one time employee Scott McClellan).
Perhaps Hillary is covering up her own skeletons prior to releasing the long awaited Mrs. Obama’s “hate whitey” tape?
I am sorry to make everyone sick when I say this, but how do we know that Billy boy hasn’t got his paws into her???
