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. Abedin is standing by her man, according to Yahoo! News.

It probably won't be enough to prevent Weiner's resignation. Politico reports House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has called for a thorough investigation into Weiner's behavior. More sexting reports are coming to light. However, Huma sounds like a great gal to have in your corner when you've screwed up. I have to give her a lot of credit; it would not be an easy decision to make.

The Republicans will use the Weiner scandal as a political tool. Weiner didn't send X-rated texts and pictures because he is a Democrat any more than Arnold Schwarzenegger slept with his housekeeper because he is a Republican. Cheaters cheat because they have character flaws. Having power and prestige makes them more attractive, but they also fall harder and make a bigger splash.

The Times article "Why Powerful Men Behave Badly" explains Weiner well. For powerful men, sex becomes a status symbol, a power tool, part of "the job." Along with doctors, lawyers, teachers, police officers and celebrities, politicians have an elevated clout level not always merited. They get dazzled by their own light and believe that they are invincible.

We were talking about Weiner and came to the conclusion the guy was probably harassed, teased and just down right treated badly when he was a kid and he is struck at the age of 12 emotionally ... he is doing stuff a 12 year old boy would do (well not all boys but you remember the kid in school who got a thrill and could not contain themselves when the lunch menu had ‘Chicken Breast’ on it)!

I was surprised Weiner didn’t try wearing a neck brace during his tearful confession.

Because she's a Democrat and Democrat women will withstand nearly ANY humiliation to stay close to power and prestige (yeah, right). They have no sense of self. I have watched several of my (former) Dem women friends go through bad times. I am beginning to think they believe they deserve it. Many Dem men are misogynists and many Dem women are masochists.

Politico reports House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has called for a thorough investigation into Weiner's behavior.

This does not mean that she is turning on him. It means that a thorough investigation would take months or years and then when the outrage dies down they will quietly dismiss the charges. It is s stalling technique.

What a sad, sad picture. Rush pointed out that Kennedy killed a woman and remained in the Senate for 4 more decades. Why should Weiner resign?

It’s not about being a stand by your man woman, these are hardened Clinton-bot collectivists whose only goals involve social engineering society by brainwashing the young. Nothing else matters. The Anthony Weiner carbon unit WILL CONTINUE!!!

Can a strong Moslem woman exact Shari’a Law on her wayward Jewish wee-wee flashing husband and carry out an ‘honor killing’? Infidel minds want to know.
