Anthony Weiner Confirms He's Dating Clinton Aide

2008_05_weinerhuma.jpgRepresentative Anthony Weiner explained to the AP why he's spending so much time campaigning for Hillary Clinton, even as the junior Senator from NY trails rival Barack Obama. Weiner said, "I'm doing a lot, but it's largely because I'm dating Huma." Finally--the Post suspected as much last October.

Huma is Huma Abedin, Clinton's so-called "body woman," who is usually seen at the candidate's side. The Daily News' headline is "Yes, I'm hot for Hillary Clinton's 'body woman,' Congressman Weiner admits" which sounds, well, kinda kinky.

Weiner has admired Abedin, a half-Pakistani, half-Indian native of Saudi Arabia, for a while. In last year's Observer profile of Abedin, Weiner said, "This notion that Senator Clinton is a cool customer—I mean, I don’t dispute it, but the coolest customer in that whole operation is Huma." Weiner's dating past includes, reportedly, Capitol Hill interns and Gigi Stone. And Weiner has been eying the Democratic nomination for 2009 mayoral race.

She can do better.

 

"Huma is Huma Abedin, Clinton's so-called "body woman,"

Oh I'm sure she is. ;-)

ahummina huma huma

this is good news, I can support him, again.
yep, I'm that shallow. he lost my support when he was dating gigi stone. I mean, who's next, jill bennett?
she sure looks skinny.

 

if i was hitting that, i'd support hillary too!!

oh well, i guess i'll have to join her fan club on myspace.

 

have to wonder what Hillary is thinking in having an attractive "body woman" -- maybe bait to keep Bill on the campaign trail?

 

Bill's banged that.

 

Actually, these two dating could be a cartoon:

The Adventures of Body Woman and Weiner Boy

 

LOL, HowBoutDemCowboys.

Weiner is an idiot and I won't be voting for him, regardless.

 

Actually, Huma is the 5th Cylon. She was Laura Roslin's chief aide and advisor.

 

Weiner's getting Hillary and Bill's sloppy seconds.

Yup - the name Weiner fully describes the man.

 

I could have swore he was gay....not that theres anything wrong with that.

 

She's a little rangy for my tastes, but he dresses to the left so at least she can salvage half her makeup.
