In May 2013, Huma Abedin and Anthony D. Weiner allowed filmmakers full access to his mayoral campaign with the hopes that the end result would document a spectacular political comeback, with Mr. Weiner being sworn in as mayor of New York having emerged from a scandal centered on explicit texting that forced him to resign from Congress.

Things did not go quite according to plan.

Instead, "Weiner," a new documentary that The New York Times was allowed to view exclusively ahead of its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Sunday, provides an unfettered look at the implosion of Mr. Weiner's mayoral campaign and a wrenching inside account of the couple's interactions in the aftermath of his second explicit texting scandal.

Film about Huma and Weiner's sham marriage and his texting sex pictures to underage girls. Weiner claimed someone had hacked into his phone and demanded the FBI investigate. Shortly after he admitted he was a sick pervert.

Film will influence Clinton's campaign narrative.

Well assuming Hillary is POTUS and Huma is WH CoS, I can see Weenie in a lucrative appointed job, or a high paying lobbying position.

Why is Hilary’s top aide a muslim? This is necessary? Why is her top aide rumored to be her lesbian lover? Why did they marry her off to Weiner because duh, that’s what they did.

He’s a Jew, get it and this was the classic cover for her being a muslim.

Why is any of this necessary?

A Weiner implosion sounds really painful.

Pity for Huma, Votes for the Brain in a Jar Hillary...

[PIF]

Necessary? The Islamification of the US is why. Democrats and muslims both adore totalitarianism and do not care about anything other than power for power’s sake. This will become a muslim country of the worst sort unless the American people wake up and find real leaders and nominate them for elected positions, not the sham people up for the ballot.

People behave like morons by their own choosing and we're supposed to pity them?

I hope this is released as a "How not to behave" lesson and not a "Pity Huma" tear jerker.

Ah, imagine the headlines:

“Clinton aide struggles with Weiner”
“Weiner problems plague Clinton”

[immadashell]

I love it when the New York Slimes is forced to do a hit piece on a liberal New York Slime.

[Shady]

Boo. Hoo.

[ETL]

Boo Hoo?

[ETL]

Oh, you mean “boo hoo”, as in who gives a crap about Huma’s struggle. I get ya now!

:)

[kaehurowing]

Fortunately, Huma has Hillary to comfort her.

Huma: “Hillary wants nothing to do with Wiener....never did”.

Waiting for claims of “heavily edited videos”.

totalitarianism = supremacy (?)

If a homo’s pretend wife is a beard, what is a lesbo’s pretend husband? A carpet? A taco?
