Late on Wednesday, former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin became parents, welcoming into the world what the New York Post called a "wee Democrat" but they're just calling Jodan Zane Weiner. The roughly seven-pound boy was due to arrive on New Year's Eve, so his birth Wednesday was just a little early.

FULL TITLE: Moving on and out: Anthony Weiner and pregnant wife Huma finally sell Queens apartment as they prepare for first child As the Weiners try to put the year's events behind them, it was only natural their marital home - Anthony Weiner's former sexting headquarters - should be one of the first to go.

Their 875-square-foot home on Ascan Avenue was listed at $449,000 in June.

Secretary of State praises 'pioneering work' of congressman's terror-tied mother-in-law. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton spoke at a Saudi women's college, where she was introduced by a professor who has represented a Muslim charity known to have spawned terror groups, including one declared by the U.S. government to be an official al-Qaida front. That professor, Saleha Mahmood Abedin, is also the mother of Clinton's chief of staff, Huma Abedin, and therefore mother-in-law of disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y. Saleha Mahmood Abedin is an associate professor of sociology at Dar Al-Hekma College in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, which she helped to...

Anthony Weiner's wife is taking time off from her senior job with the State Department -- as well as time off from the randy former representative, The Post has learned. While Weiner, 46, heads to an "intensive" rehab program to recover from the sexting scandal that cost him his congressional career, his 35-year-old spouse, Huma Abedin, will be relaxing at an undisclosed location.

They shared pasta but not much conversation. Disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner and his wife, Huma Abedin, were spotted dining at La Bottega in Chelsea's Maritime Hotel on Saturday - but she "looked miserable," according to a witness. The couple were sharing a plain pizza, a salad and pasta but spent most of the meal chained to their cell phones, said the witness. They were both sporting wedding rings.

In a front page story about a major FBI terrorism investigation, The Washington Post has reported that the targets include “Chicagoans who crossed paths with Obama when he was a young state senator and some who have been active in labor unions that supported his political rise.” The implication is that the trail could lead to the White House. This is an unusual investigation that does not primarily involve Islamists. Instead, it is focused on elements of the old international communist networks that many people mistakenly thought had faded away with the collapse of the Soviet Union. Those under investigation...

Far more disturbing than the salacious details of Weiner's dalliances is the fact that apparently his mother-in-law is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Furthermore, Huma Abedin's brother, Hassan, "is listed as a fellow and partner with a number of Muslim Brotherhood members." Hassan works at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) at Oxford University. The Egyptian Al-Azhar University, well-known for a curriculum that encourages extremism and terrorism, is active in establishing links with OCIS. How is it that the Western media, with its hourly analyses of Weiner, missed this salient point, yet Arab news sources revealed this connection?...

Hillary views Huma "As A Daughter" Yea Right! Is Weiner's ignoble retirement a Conservative victory? No, not really, it is a victory for traditional American values. Weiner is a borderline pervert, who will either straighten up his life or fall deeper into more dangerous perversions, for his sake, I hope he gets ahold of himself before it is too late. We as Americans have a share in the shame of his lying and false criminal accusations, because we have been lenient in dealing with lies and corruption from our leaders in Washington. Even now, Weiner will have an attractive retirement...

Anthony Weiner stood alone as he closed the book on his scandal stained political career — but he walked off into the sunset with his humiliated wife. Just three hours after the disgraced Dem was forced to resign from the House, he was cavorting with pregnant wife Huma Abedin in the aisles of the King Kullen supermarket in Manorville, LI, as if the sexting scandal never happened. Abedin smiled at another customer while Weiner sang quietly along to a ’50s doo-wop song blaring from the store’s speakers. "He was singing along to one of the love songs. Just under his...

Representative Anthony D. Weiner, a once-promising politician whose Brooklyn roots and scrappy style made him a leading candidate to be the next mayor of New York, resigned his seat on Thursday, ending a three-week scandal over his lewd online behavior that startled his constituents and alienated many of his colleagues. Mr. Weiner made the decision after long and emotional discussions with his political advisers and his wife, Huma Abedin, whom friends described as devastated by the behavior of her husband of 11 months, and worried about the couple’s financial future. In a chaotic four-minute news conference at a senior center...

In the end, Rep. Anthony Weiner stood alone, where he has always wanted to be — in the glare of the national media spotlight. And though he didn’t say it at a Thursday news conference in New York, he hinted he may at some point be back. The night before, away from the crush of the media and the company of colleagues who were partying at the annual White House congressional picnic, Weiner called fellow New York Democrat Steve Israel, who handles campaign politics for House Democrats. Israel, who had attended Weiner’s wedding last July, handed the phone to Minority...

WebToday (June 8, 2011)-- The New York Times reports that Rep. Anthony Weiner's wife – Huma Abedin – is a “practicing Muslim” who was raised in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. In 2007, the New York Observer wrote – article no longer available but cross-posted at Free Republic – that her mother is a professor in Saudi Arabia and that her father was an Islamic scholar before his death. Islamic law forbids any Muslim woman from marrying a non-Muslim man. Weiner was raised Jewish but admitted to growing up in a non-religious household. If Abedin remains a practicing Muslim and her religion...

Wife Huma returned yesterday from her trip abroad with her boss, Hillary Clinton. We don't know if they actually saw each other, or if they spoke on the phone, or maybe even texted or Tweeted each other..we don't know where she is.

Why Would Huma Abedin Stand by Anthony Weiner? COMMENTARY | The train wreck that is Anthony Weiner just may have an 11th hour derailment. The congressman, caught sending lewd text messages and photos to women, just found out that his wife, Huma Abedin, is pregnant with their first child.

Anthony Weiner got down and dirty with one of the women he had befriended on Facebook -- even telling her that he was prepared to travel to Nevada to bed her. In a series of dirty chat messages dating back to Sept. 17, 2010, the kinky Weiner wrote to 40-year-old Lisa Weiss -- a Nevada blackjack dealer who went back and forth with Weiner on Facebook for more than a year -- that he was...

Public Service: Anthony Weiner has exposed, among other things, Democrats' hypocrisy on morals. He is more than a national embarrassment. He represents a security risk that will one day be exploited. If Rep. Weiner, D-N.Y., is allowed to continue sitting in "the people's House" next to the likes of Rep. Charlie Rangel, it will be a form of political pornography that will make the phrase "House Ethics" the ultimate oxymoron. Expulsion from Congress is the capital punishment of national politics, and while Weiner's defenders and the congressman himself will say he didn't use government computers to purvey his personal porn,...

Representative Anthony D. Weiner of New York, reeling from revelations of salacious online behavior that threaten his political career, moved rapidly on Tuesday to make amends as Republicans called for his resignation and leading members of his own Democratic Party distanced themselves from him. Mr. Weiner spent much of the past 24 hours apologizing over and over to stunned Congressional colleagues and Democratic leaders angry at him for misleading them and the public.

Is anyone else as sick of the constant media drumbeat that Anthony Weiner's stickfigure wife, Huma Abedin, is beautiful? She's flat out homely, but the MSM seems desperate to convince us that she is a ravishing beauty. I haven't posted a vanity in years, but this is reminiscent of those who claim that Lady Gaga can sing!

Is it time to ask the questions no one dares ask? Every detective since Sherlock Holmes knew that when all logical explanations have been examined and discarded, it's time to reexamine the "illogical" and even "impossible' explanations. Let's look at what we know as fact. Ms. Huma Abedin (AKA Ms Anthony Weiner) is the daughter of two prominent Muslims. Her mother even published a newspaper in London telling Muslim women how to be subservient to their husbands, follow the restrictive dictates of the Koran, and still have a "meaningful" life. As a young staffer, Ms Abedin, who lived in the...

When the wife's away, Weiner will play. Kinky Congressman Anthony Weiner conducted several of his steamy online sessions while his better half was out of the country, records show. As the "body woman" to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Huma Abedin is tasked with accompanying the former first lady on diplomatic globetrotting missions. Weiner, it seems, uses the timing of her foreign affairs to pursue domestic ones online. For instance, last month, while Abedin and Clinton were in Rome meeting with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, Weiner was chatting up Texas nursing student Meagan Broussard. As Abedin aided Clinton during...

October 30, 2007 Hillary & Huma – A Dark Unseen Scandal Star? Mickey Kaus writes: Do you sense there is some large mass of dark matter, an unseen Scandal Star, the gravitational pull of which is warping the coverage of what seems, on the surface, a pretty dull presidential race? I do. So does Ron Rosenbaum. I thought the Dark Star was the Edwards affair allegation.

Click here to find out more! When asked about the significance of her daughter, Chelsea, marrying Marc Mezvinsky, who is Jewish, and thus being married in an interfaith union, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton responded, “Over the years, so many of the barriers that prevented people from getting married, crossing lines of faith or color or ethnicity have just disappeared.” True, the barriers have disappeared, but serious difficulties remain. While some scholars argue that mixed-faith unions “serve as a refiner’s fire” that make the relationships stronger, the statistical evidence indicates this is all too frequently not the outcome. The American...

Bill Clinton is not giving away his daughter Chelsea’s hand in marriage for another three weeks. But he is going to get a little practice at the altar on Saturday, when he officiates at the wedding of Representative Anthony D.
