The 2009 campaign season may have left us with the distinct impression that Congressman Anthony Weiner is a bit of a tease, but apparently Weiner was just playing Gotham's Democratic voters while he was actually doing groundwork on the sole endorsement he was aiming for—from girlfriend Huma Abedin. Weiner and Abedin, the Hillary Clinton aide whom the News calls "glamorous" and "a linchpin of Clinton's entourage," just went public, but it turns out the proposal happened right around the time Weiner backed out of the mayoral race with an allusion to wanting to "start a family." The pair got outed in a NYT piece on former Clinton strategist and current Bloomberg campaign mastermind Howard Wolfson who dropped the "f" bomb (the other one) when referring to the two. The possible future Huma Weiner has apparently been courted by John Cusack and George Clooney in the past, which we believe beats his links to foreign models. She also happens to be Muslim, to which Gawker says "maybe he will be less of an asshole now." How sweet!





"Weiner"? I know there are a lot of German foods and dogs that start with that prefix, but is his mother really Scotch Irish Catholic? He looks more Menonite to me.
LOLz, best title on Gothamist ever "Weiner to Tie the Knot"
Huma Weiner...hahaha
Funny names aside, congrats to the couple. I wish Weiner didn't pull out of the mayoral race (damn, did it again). I would've voted for him on name alone!
Is it possible that an Abedin/Weiner marriage will usher in a new era of peace and understanding between Muslims and Jews???
only good looking ones
Huma was Hillary's "longtine aide", er, lover
Weiner likes guys.
Politics makes strange bedfellows.
Mazel tov to the happy couple. She's definitely a lot higher than him on the cuteness scale. But they both have long faces and I could see them making some funny looking babies.
