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.
Double ouch and a har dee har har!
I guess we are on an “”’underground’ blog and website.””

Look on the right side for more bad news from Afghanistan "Taliban Blues."
And Page 6 was “notorious” when it went after Bill Clinton’s White House Sexual Abuse of Powers, but Clinton was not “notorious”. Right.
I think you are right. They get angry, deny, then attack the messenger as a "right wing tool", then finally when the DNA appears on the dress, admit to what everybody already knew. Just admit it, Hillary! It will come out sooner or later, take your lumps now. BTW I think the republican candidates should get everything out there now, too. No more October surprises.
That photo makes Huma look like a black woman.
I can’t help thinking that this is a non-affair brought forward by the Clintons for political purposes. She knows she’s watched and that others are looking for newz.
We’re jumping to conclusions. Hillary’s platform should be the focus....forget this stuff. It makes her a victim.
Lesbian or not, Huma’s been Hillary’s batman for almost 12 years she undoubtedly know enough to put Hillary in the stocks. I said it before, if a tenth of these stories are true it would be a tossup who works for who but it may be safe to assume the Saudi princes own them both by now.
Murdoch is certainly no conservative; he pushes globalist causes in all of his papers and stations. He loves the Klintons.
-the lid is off the box on this one..........and I am more worried about huma’s ties to Saudi Arabia.......seems they are more to worry about than Bush’s ties. This is blackmail stuff.
Exactly. That's why it is so fitting that the Clinton Library is shaped (and looks like) a TRAILER!!!
The rumor claims the LA Times article “outs” Hillary Clinton as a lesbian, which will have a negative impact her candidacy. She will be replaced by an Al Gore-Michael Bloomberg ticket. A bipartisan ticket: Gore, a democrat and Bloomberg, a Republican, is seen as a brilliant calculation and unstoppable in 2008.
But if the rumor is true, what would make the Los Angeles Times sitting on the story? One theory is basic journalistic ethics is figuring heavily on the timing of such an explosive disclosure. The paper does not want to be accused of influencing the outcome of an election with this revelation.
The seeds of the rumor seem to have originated from the Village Voice’s own Michael Musto who wrote:
As I recently said on Monica Crowley’s radio show, whisper campaigns are claiming that Hillary Clinton is Gayle King-ing her aide de camp, the glamorous Huma Abedin, an Indian/Pakistani goddess from Kalamazoo, Michigan. In other words, Hillary may be putting Huma out there in the press and purposely making her more visible as a pre-emptive strike that amounts to her hiding in plain sight. This way, no Republican can later say, “Who is this gorgeous babe who spends so much intimate time with Hillary that the Observer called her Hill’s ‘body person’? Was Gennifer Flowers’ book right about Hillary’s sexual taste?

Looks like hillery may be on a slide from which she will not recover in time for New Hampshire.
Ouch? Well, she better put some ice on it.
Alas, the Hillary mystique.

Whaddaya trying to do, break everybody’s monitor?
beeyouempee
Gotta love it that Drudge is putting this story up......just like he broke the ice and went with the Monica story.
No question that he is no conservative.
Between his 'fund raisers' for Hillary's Senate campaign,,,,and FOX's pushing of Giuliani (i.e. Hannity's shilling for Rudy, and Steve Forbes pushing Rudy most Saturday mornings on "Forbes on Fox",,,,and Roger Ailes likely helping Rudy--no hard proof on this one, yet),,,and Fred Thompson's attack on Fox's slanting the coverage against him--there is no question that Murdoch is NO CONSERVATIVE!
Who’s on top maybe?
