There have been conflicting rumors about her nationality. As far as i can tell, the leading one is: Age 32. Father Indian, mother Pakistani, both professors. Born in the US (Kalamazoo, Michigan), lived in Saudi from the age of 2 until she returned to the US to go to college.(GWU).

Her nationality doesn't matter that much. If it's true that she grew up in Saudi from 2 thru 18, then it is likely that she is an indoctrinated fundamentalist Muslim -- as a close adviser to a candidate for US President

Rudy has worked in the beltway though. Or is the DOJ not considered the beltway?

Hmm, the key is “what about a marriage belongs in a political campaign”. Also another key is when he says “Or does it go to the judgement of the candidate”.

Maybe a piece like this is to prep us so that when this comes out, we will understand that those who knew REALLY had a conscience, and decided to let it out with great dispair, for the public to consider. Yeah, okay.

Best guess to me is that it will be a GOP candidate. If it was a Dem, they would never tell it because they know that no one in the GOP would tell either.

The MSM must not feel Giuliani is a safe lock yet.

They can get rid of nyc liberal A if they have nyc liberal B as a backup.

>>>Thompson is the one I’m aware of as having old rumors floated

There already was a story posted here months ago about Thompson and some woman. So that can’t be it. It wouldn’t be ‘shocking’.

I say whatever happens or doesn’t happen to Hussein doesn’t matter to the election. He is not in the running.Mrs. Bill has no opposition unless Algore jumps in and even he would be dealt with .

This is exactly what makes this Rosenbaum piece curious. There are already stories out about Rudy's marriage to his cousin, Rudy and his gay roommates, and of course, Rudy in drag

So what on earth could be worse or more shocking than this? Or do I really want to know that?

It's gotta be the "Hillary is a lesbian" thing.

The media wouldn't be "debating the ethics" if it were a Republican, it would already be front page news.

The debate has to be: would it hurt Hillary or help her (with left wing supporters) if a lesbian sex story broke?

"By the way, t’s not the Edwards rumor, it’s somethingelse."

So we have to believe it's not Edwards.

I'll wager Harvey Levin is working on this story without rest..We should see it on TMZ or the Smoking Gun before it breaks.

Tick, tock..

If you really want to look deep, think in terms of salvaging the “Clinton Legacy”. Maybe he will backstab her. A Hillary lesbian story would justify Monica to future history.

If the Hunter announcement (that one of the top-tiers would be dropping out) is related to this rumor, then who of the top tier could Hunter gain with. Which candidates supporters will go to Hunter, over one of the other top tiers?

I doubt it would be Rudy in this case, my guess is either Fred or Mitt, based on this speculation alone.

If it were a Republican, the networks would be running with 24/7 coverage. There ARE no “Ethical Dilemas” if it’s a Republican, especially with the L.A. Times.

Timing is everything. If there is really a scandal, the MSM would hold it until they could use it to best advangage if it were a Rep. If it is a Dem, they will hold off using it to see if they could salvage someone's career by not disclosing it publicly, i.e., if that person does not get the nomination.

I think it is a Rep and it wouldn't surprise me if Carville, Mandy Grunwald, and Begala are behind this "rumor." The Dems and the MSM are really just two sides of the same coin. They work together to achieve their objectives.

The comment wasn’t made in reference to gaining a voter block. It was general on the current standing of the running candidates. You can hear the interview on demand if you want to get a feel for how it was made.

It is on my blog under Hunter’s Rangers:

We might look really soon to see a candidate announce they are getting out the race for personal reasons.

Especially if they know the story is about to break.

I think it will maybe center around one of the wives.

I would think it will be GOP.

oh, all the gossip!

I think it is a top tier GOP candidate too. I just can’t think of what could be more shocking than the news that has already been out there.
