We like lesbetarians too....where's Huma?

Hillary Clinton's campaign team are furious that an unsubstantiated rumour of a lesbian affair with her exotic aide de camp Huma Abedin, which has been doing the rounds of 'underground' blogs and websites in recent weeks, appears to have gone mainstream after reports in foreign papers addressed the subject of dirty tricks on the US presidential campaign trail.
The problem started with a report in the London Times on Thursday. 'Hillary Clinton has been accused of having an affair with Huma Abedin,' read the caption under a photograph of the two trouser-suited women (above left) striding across the tarmac to catch a plane. The next day, the Russian newspaper Pravda wrote a similar round-up which concluded: "Hillary and her aide, Huma Abedin, do live together at home and on the road, but the only way to nail Clinton would be to catch them together in a lesbian action."
The rumour of a lesbian love affair appears to have been been started in August 2007 by the New York freesheet, the Village Voice. Although neither the Times nor Pravda made any attempt to claim the story was true, some Americans have taken the reports in two of the world's most famous newspapers to heart. Not least Hillary's own team. "This does not even qualify as tabloid trash... it's ridiculous and reckless," a Clinton aide said at the weekend.
Abedin, who is the daughter of Indian and Pakistani parents and comes from Kalamazoo Michigan, has been an aide to Clinton for some years. The photograph in the Times was taken in 2000. She was recently photographed (above right) in Vogue's 'Age' issue, as an example of a glamorous woman in her 30s with good looks, insider influence and a fabulous address book. She chose two red dresses - by Vera Wang and Oscar de la Renta - for her Vogue photoshoot.
Although the Times, owned by Rupert Murdoch, appears to have caused her some heartache, Hillary Clinton was diplomatic when asked an awkward question in Iowa at the weekend about Murdoch's growing influence in America. The arch-conservative media baron Rupert Murdoch, who already owns Fox News, the New York Post (and its gossip section Page Six, which notoriously went after Clinton's husband Bill during his presidency) and will soon own the Wall Street Journal.
Did Clinton think, the questioner wanted to know, Americans would "lose out democracy" if one person controlled their media? Clinton answered: "There have been a lot of media consolidations in the last several years, and it is quite troubling. It's bad for consumers because you limit choice, it¹s bad for citizens because it limits the diversity we have." But she also made it clear that she wasn't singling out "any company in particular" for condemnation. "I just want to see more competition, especially in the same markets."
What she didn't tell the questioner was that, the Times article notwithstanding, she and Murdoch have developed a close if curious relationship since she became junior senator for New York in 2001. Murdoch even held a fundraiser last year for Clinton's senate campaign and recently bankrolled former nemesis Bill Clinton's global warming initiative.
Hey, I have some stock in Monsanto. At the rate the stock market has been going lately, we don't need any more negative news. (Sarc.)
If Susan Thomases was Huma’s predecessor, Her Thighness’ tastes certainly changed for the better. You have to give credit where credit is due. (LOL!)
Thanks for the info. I never heard of the possibility that Hillary is gay but this article sheds another light on the matter. I never knew that my tagline was so appropriate. To have her in the WH would be a breach of national security of the highest order.
abeddin’ bump
They wouldnt' say "pants" in an English journal. That would be naughty.
Note to Hillary...”hey Butch...get over it”
Shrillary is Lebanese? My condolences to Lebanon . . .
They wouldnt' say "pants" in an English journal. That would be naughty.
lol
mind if i use that?
Not to us...but to the multitudes it’s brand new stuff. I thinks it great it’s now in the public domain...lots of the masses here in America finally know. LOL
AFter all, we, the people have a right to know if our next President is a bull dyke or not:-)
A hit dog yelps the loudest! So far this has been a total flop for the Beast’s campaign and is going to come up far short of the mileage they expected to gain from it, IMO.
You’re gay.
The fact that you’ll probably respond with an angry, indignant response tells me that it’s true.

Gang, listen, there’s plenty of stuff to beat Hillary with. Heaven only knows how many examples we have on video of her saying whatever the crowd she’s in front of wants to hear, even if she said the exact opposite the day before. The campaign commercials will write themselves. If she wins the nomination, she’ll get stomped worse than my Vols are going to get beat by LSU in the SEC championship game. Throwing baseless nonsense like this around will only make us look like a bunch of ogres to the average voter, and frankly, they’d be justified.
In fact, I’d go so far as to say the Hillary camp is helping foster these rumors in order to turn it around on us at a time of their choosing.
As Admiral Ackbar would say, “IT’S A TRAP!”
She’ll deny it as she’s done so many times before. I would think she’d like it ask...so she can deny again. I wish some of her lezbo lovers would step forward and confess it with evidence.
“I did not have sex with that woman.”
You know what her hubby has said...it’s gross...I don’t think it’s for public consumption...
Left wing idiots in "journalism" are so lazy and stupid. This rumour has been around even in the Arkansas days.
Those two statements don't really reconcile with each other.
Why do you have to degrade the good name of Batman like that? lol
