It's Only Huma! Is Hillary's Sultry Aide Waxing Congressman's Weiner?
MORE The Transom
Speculation that Washington’s two most eligible singles—Hillary Rodham Clinton’s fashionable traveling aide Huma Abedin and New York’s dashing bachelor Congressman Anthony Weiner—are dating has become “common knowledge” among the campaign press corp, according to a reporter on the trail.
Reached for comment by the Transom, Mr. Weiner, who has reportedly stepped out with television hostess Alli Joseph and ABC correspondent Gigi Stone, opted not to deny the rumors. “I’ve got nothing for you on this, buddy,” he said.
But is it true? “Is this the world you live in?” Mr. Weiner asked with faint disgust. “I’ve got nothing for you on this story.” (A Clinton spokesperson, Philippe Reines, also chose not to deny.)
Many campaign onlookers, including those tipping off Page Six, have noted that Ms. Abedin, 32, and Mr. Weiner, 44—who have been glimpsed together on the campaign trail on more than one occasion—made no attempts to put distance between each other on Thursday, Jan. 24, as they arrived at a boozy fund-raiser for Mrs. Clinton held at the Maritime Hotel on West 16th Street.
“Oh, yeah, it’s definite,” said our spy.
“We don’t comment on the personal lives of staff,” said a spokesperson for the comely Ms. Abedin, recently named one of Vogue’s best-dressed of 2007.
Oh, Puh-leeze. Snap out of it. A New York Jew and a Muslin raised in Saudi Arabia. And they're making sure they're seen together at places where reporters are sure to be around. There is a more likely explanation. Put on your thinking cap, friends.
Another right-wing smearmonger.
Who will he "date" next? Janet Reno? Jody Foster? Ellen?
he's got the tell-tale bulimic lines around the mouth and chin a la Chertoff. He's more interested in the vomit action, than he is the girls.
Huma's some sort of great beauty and Wiener's dashing?
Holy crap! Washington DC politics really is like Hollywood for ugly people.
Gimme a break! Likely a typical Clinton move to squash the "lezident" rumors about Hill and Huma's own curious relationship...
Huma is my first cousin. I know her since we were born. She is a wonderful person. I am not enjoying the rumors that have been posted in cyberspace. My only hope is that people don"t buy into it.She is Not a lesbian,Has no connection with Al-Qaida and means well.
Huma is my second cousin. She used to be my third cousin, but then first second cousing died.
Yes, the rumors are true. So what if she is a muslim and he is a jew? She will quickly convert to judaism, and, from what she shared with me, treat him like any other jewish wife.
oh how the jewish men love abuse. now, not only will he be married to an arab, but also a beautiful arab. no one will believe that she is a jew.
This is just a cover for the fact that Hillary and Huma are lovers. Huma is NOT Arab, she's half Indian and half Pakistan (and she's quite a combo at that) but she was raised in Saudi Arabia from 2 years of age until she went to college in DC.
It's well known that Hillary loves the muff as much as THE ROCK does and Hillary loves a slice as much as Bill does... why do you think Bill and Hillary now live separately????
I have lost all respect for Congressman Weiner. What self-respecting Jew would ever date a muslim woman? Weiner should be ashamed of himself, he is a shame to all Jews.
this is like the 5th website to describe Huma's humble good looks as "comely"...
since WHEN is that an appropriate adjective anyways?
on this side of the pond, it just sounds like some rarified way of saying "bust-a-nutable"
Dear Spencer Morgan,
Did you take the small yellow bus , when you used to go to school?
I guess you have never been accused for being the smart one.
I have lost all respect for Huma. What self-respecting muslim women would ever date a jew wan? Huma should be ashamed of herself, she is a shame to all muslims. and i hope don't have the right to be called muslim anymore.
Huma and Anthony make the best couple and furthermore if they were to get married and pro create they would forever be my political heroes! Huma I totally respect you even though you never pay attention to me at Hillary events since you are so focused on your job and so good at it!
Anthony I hope you two get married and become the next NYC Mayor! Please respect Huma's religion. I think the merge of the two of you would be a strong signal that people need to get over their anti semitism of both Jews and Muslims!
