'Women for Weiner' hosts event By: Maggie Haberman June 19, 2013 03:53 PM EDT
Meet the Women for Weiner.
The former congressman, who apologized for the lewd picture scandal that ended his House career before launching a bid last month for New York City mayor, is holding a fundraiser hosted by “Women for Anthony” next week at the Manhattan home of an education activist and philanthropist.
The host committee is led by his wife, Huma Abedin, and includes her sister, Heba; Rory Tahari, wife of designer Elie Tahari; and Cheryl Saban, the wife of California-based mega-donor Haim Saban, who funded a short film lauding Hillary Clinton’s tenure at the State Department shortly before she left Foggy Bottom. POLITICO viewed a copy of the invitation, which asks people to come to cocktails with “our next mayor.”
(QUIZ: Do you know Anthony Weiner?)
The host list, featuring a number of high-powered women who were Clinton backers, makes clear what a number of media outlets have reported — that Abedin is a central figure in her husband’s campaign. Buzzfeed recently noted Abedin, using her network of contacts, has been working the phones to help raise money for him.
Weiner said over the weekend that he expected Abedin, who currently runs Hillary Clinton’s transition office, to join him on the campaign trail soon.
He already has $4 million in his war chest from his previous campaigns and has qualified for public matching funds.
Also on the list is philanthropist Elaine Schuster, who lives in Boston and was a Clinton supporter, and Kirkland & Ellis lawyer Binta Brown, who was also a Clinton backer. Abedin has worked for the Clintons for more than a decade.

But now? The media silence is deafening.
I don’t think that any of the women in your pictures have ever truly supported a real wiener.
Ok this is screaming your name. Mine too, but def your’s! LMAO!
Why aren’t these leftie women getting enough weenie?
I thought that all leftie guys wanted to do was ‘ball’ ugly B!tche$?
And, the whole time he maintains his wienerness is his strongpoint and that he deserves to be viewed as a credible candidate.
Talk about clueless.
Hmmm... more like: 'Moslem Women for Weiner.'
Women for Wiener.......well they’re hetros...you got to like Huma Weiner!
Sounds like the latest adult movie title.
Women for weiner!
Just damn. Could have been my college cheerleading squad. Myself, I was a member of the Roto-Rooters. We took 55 gal. drums to football games.
“Chewin tobacco, chewin tobacco,
spit, spit, spit,
Ex-Lax, Ex-Lax,
Go team go!
We got evicted on occasion. Usually. Mostly.
Rah rah ree, kick ‘em in the knee!
Rah rah rass, kick ‘em in the other knee!
Got escorted from the Colorado School of Mines by campus police. Seems one of my squad pushed the “reset” button immediately after I’d launched a league beating roll in the student union bowling lanes.
We got evicted from the football game for “excessive noise” and ended up on the hill, staked out at the college’s hangout.
It appears that no one from the squad recalls anything beyond that point, though the lady cheerleaders stated our behavior was “admible.”
I don’t pretend to recollect anything ... anything.
Someone said that Steve opened the cooler in the back of the 2002 beemer, and discovered someone threw up in it ... so he opened the back door and threw it out. On the x-town freeway. In Denver. We were escorted to our motel by Denver’s finest following a brief excursion up the wrong way on a one way, which was contrary to our understanding of directionallity (toilets swirl clockwise in the northern hemisphere?)
The gendarmes made me drive (non-drinker), and escorted us back to our Cherry Hills motel, where we found John, Roto-Rooter (with tenure) passed out on the curb in front of our room. Cops said: One of yours?
Um, yah. We confered our blessings upon them, and they, in return, didn’t put us in jail.
If this had happened today, we’d have been shot.
Just imagine the parts you can’t remember!
It’s twoo!
I didn’t drink back then. Straight arrow.
Maybe I’ve blocked such memories :o)
I am trying to remember the rest of our cheers!
They were the best!
It sounds as if the Muslim Brotherhood is four-square behind Weiner's campaign...
I’m starting to wonder whether he’s a secret convert or just a useful idiot. (Yeah, it could be both.)
Remember Mr. Roberts?
Sounds like liberty on Elysium Island for the crew of "this 'ol bucket".
