Pakistani-Indian beauty wooed by anti-Muslim MP By Khalid Hasan WASHINGTON: Huma Abedin (32), born to a Pakistani mother, an Indian father and raised in Saudi Arabia, is not only a Vogue model and a close aide to Hillary Clinton, but is also someone who is being courted by a New York congressman known for his anti-Muslim views. Jewish Congressman Raymond Wiener, Huma’s great admirer, is likely to run as mayor of New York next year. He has said that he is romancing Huma, known as Clinton’s glamorous “body woman.” Asked by Associated Press about all the time he is spending...

Rep. Anthony Weiner, a likely 2009 mayoral candidate, is pouring his heart into Hillary Clinton's White House bid - literally. Weiner, whose district includes parts of Queens and Brooklyn, finally 'fessed that he is romancing Clinton's glamorous "body woman," Huma Abedin. Asked by The Associated Press about all the time he's spending on the road campaigning for Clinton, the 43-year-old bachelor said, "It's largely because I'm dating Huma." The whispers have been around for months, but until yesterday Weiner ducked questions about Abedin, saying his personal life was off limits. Though she posed recently for a glamorous photo spread in...

Hillary and Bill Clinton are again teaming up on Barack Obama -- this time saying the first-term U.S. lawmaker, whom they have derided as inexperienced, would be a strong running mate on a Democratic presidential ticket headed by the former first lady. In talking up a joint ticket, the Clintons may be seeking the upper hand, attempting to put her in consideration for the top of the ticket when she so far has failed to win the votes necessary to assure that she would face Republican presidential candidate John McCain in the November election. The maneuver may also be aimed...

Last week, virtually unreported in Britain, the extraordinary winter weather of 2008 elsewhere in the world continued. In the USA, there were blizzards as far south as Texas and Arkansas, while in northern states and Canada what they are calling "the winter from hell" has continued to break records going back in some cases to 1873. Meanwhile in Asia more details emerged of the catastrophe caused by the northern hemisphere's greatest snow cover since 1966. It might have seemed timely that in New York an array of leading climatologists and other experts should have gathered for the most high-powered international...

NEW YORK (CBS) ― Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton hinted at the possibility of a democratic "dream ticket" with Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking on the Early Show on CBS, Clinton said "that may be where this is headed, but we have to decide who is on the top of the ticket." Clinton said the race between her and Obama remains "incredibly close," with just "smidgens of difference" between them. Clinton's remarks after her campaign won two big states yesterday: Ohio and Texas. She also won Rhode Island. The wins enabled her campaign to break Obama's 12-state winning streak and pick up...

WASHINGTON (AP) - Hillary Rodman Clinton has won the Democratic primary in Rhode Island.

There is no absolute certainty that Hillary will lose the nomination. Absent serious chicanery however it seems likely. That is, the hope and dream of a lifetime, the reward for decades of putting up with Bill, the penultimate female achievement, will be lost. Hillary Clinton nee Rodham, will have failed . The lying, the over billing, the sequestering , the parsing were all for naught. The quest is over. All that is left is bitter memory and the offshore corporations and bank accounts. It has been the legend since the beginning…….. The Clintons have a marriage of convenience and a...

US Democratic presidential candidate Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) (R) walks with her traveling chief-of-staff Huma Abedin as they approach a group of police officers after cancelling a rally in Fort Worth, Texas February 22, 2008. A Dallas police officer was killed Friday when his motorcycle struck a pillar as he was escorting democratic presidential candidate Senator Clinton to a rally in Dallas. Clinton cancelled the rally in Forth Worth, saying it would be inappropriate to hold a rally in light of the tragic circumstances.

Howard Wolfson, the Clinton campaign's communications director, today accused Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) of committing “plagiarism” in a speech in Milwaukee on Saturday night. Wolfson made the explosive charge in an interview with Politico after suggesting as much in a conference call with reporters. On the call, Wolfson said: “Sen. Obama is running on the strength of his rhetoric and the strength of his promises and, as we have seen in the last couple of days, he’s breaking his promises and his rhetoric isn’t his own.” "When an author plagiarizes from another author there is damage done to two different...

Hillary Clinton sets foot in Wisconsin to campaign for the first time Saturday, momentarily shifting focus from her must-win March 4 contests in Ohio and Texas to make an 11th-hour challenge to Barack Obama ahead of the state's primary Tuesday. Bill Clinton already had campaigned for her in Wisconsin two days earlier and she's still rolling out new attack ads in the state, but as the New York senator faces down the possibility of 10 consecutive losses come March 4, she's moving to blunt the damage personally before her firewall contests. Polls show Clinton in striking distance. A Rasmussen survey...

A top strategist to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.) on Saturday countered the recent claims of some prominent Democrats that party elders would be wrong to override the will of their constituents in their choice for the Democratic presidential nominee. In a phone call with reporters, Harold M. Ickes, argued that the 796 so-called superdelegates who could decide the party’s White House nominee were as much or “potentially more in touch” with the issues important to voters than the delegates amassed by the candidates through state He also suggested that Clinton would fight to the bitter end for the nomination,...

For those who have forgotten just how corrupt the Clinton’s are (like anyone could forget) this story should bring shivers down your spine. Debra Burlingame, the sister of Charles F. “Chic” Burlingame III, the pilot of American Airlines flight 77, writes about the Armed Forces of National Liberation [FALN] terrorist group that had wreaked havoc on American soil for decades. 146 bombings and armed robberies were linked to the group including this account of a bombing in 1982: It was nearly 10 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, 1982. Two officers on New York Police Department’s elite bomb squad rushed to...

KENOSHA, Wis. (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton revealed something about herself on Saturday that she acknowledged might surprise many people: she knows how to hunt. Campaigning ahead of Tuesday's Democratic nominating vote in Wisconsin, a state with a strong tradition of hunting and where many voters strongly support gun ownership rights, Clinton said she firmly backed the right to bear arms. "You know, you may not believe it but I've actually gone hunting," Clinton, 60, said at a question-and-answer session with voters at a crammed bratwurst restaurant in Kenosha. "My father taught me to shoot 100 years ago,"...

The question was one she had heard before, but this time it was asked in downright hostile terms. “Has your mother shown any remorse for the fact that her vote cost Iraqis a million of their lives?” a student asked Chelsea Clinton on Monday at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Ms. Clinton replied: “She cast a vote based on the best available evidence. Perhaps you had clairvoyance then, and that’s extraordinary.”

First this funny one - then the Huma pics...

Clinton's campaign manager, Patti Solis Doyle, left the position today, to be replaced by Clinton's former top White House aide, Maggie Williams. The change formalizes a shift in the campaign's power structure that began to set in after Clinton's win in New Hampshire, I've obtained a copy of Solis Doyle's email to the campaign's staff, sent about 15 minute ago: Over a year ago Hillary launched her campaign for President. Her announcement began a historic effort that has inspired millions and brought hundreds of thousands to their feet all across this nation. I have been proud to manage this campaign,...

~EXCERPT~Some of Hillary Clinton's top aides said Wednesday that they will forgo pay for February to help conserve cash. In January, about a dozen of Rudy Giuliani's senior staffers also volunteered to go unpaid for the month as the campaign headed toward critical primaries. And last summer, as John McCain ran low on funds, the senator had to let go dozens of workers and aides. So, how much do campaign staffers make?More than they did four years ago. The campaigns have raised record amounts of money during this election cycle—$583 million in 2007 alone, compared with a total of $880...

HUMA Abedin, the traveling aide who is rarely out of Hillary Rodham Clinton's sight, has been seen with bachelor Rep. Anthony Weiner

Today's New York Post Page Six gossip column offers readers the following prima facie risible item: Not So Secret HUMA Abedin, the traveling aide who is rarely out of Hillary Rodham Clinton's sight, has been seen with bachelor Rep. Anthony Weiner on the campaign trail. Shortly before Clinton arrived for a fund-raiser Thursday night at the Hiro club in the Meatpacking District, Abedin was spotted going into the Maritime Hotel around the corner with Weiner. If they were trying to keep their affair a secret, you'd think they'd find someplace where political reporters wouldn't be walking by. "If they were...

HUMA Abedin, the traveling aide who is rarely out of Hillary Rodham Clinton's sight, has been seen with bachelor Rep. Anthony Weiner on the campaign trail. Shortly before Clinton arrived for a fund-raiser Thursday night at the Hiro club in the Meatpacking District, Abedin was spotted going into the Maritime Hotel around the corner with Weiner. If they were trying to keep their affair a secret, you'd think they'd find someplace where political reporters wouldn't be walking by.

From the article: The former first lady, who met King as a teenager in Chicago seven years before he was gunned down in 1968, paid tribute to Obama as an "extraordinary young African-American man." Obama is 46. For those unaware, it is a racial slur to refer to an adult black male as 'boy.' After Guy Milner called a black man who refused to shake his hand 'boy' his campaign was over. While she didn't use the term 'boy' here, it sure sounds suggestive of the slur and is exceptionally insulting. He's a grown, accomplished, married man with children. If...

You know it's that time again, election time, when politicos start invading our favorite fashion magazines. But one candidate who won't be appearing in one venerable fashion tome is Hillary Clinton who backed out of a spot in Vogue. According to WWD, Clinton was all set to appear in US Vogue during the presidential race but backed out late last fall before the photo shoot was due to take place for fear of appearing too feminine. You would think it was pretty clear Clinton has nothing against Vogue considering her traveling chief of staff Huma Abedin has been gracing the...

On the night of her primary victory, Senator Clinton credited the people of New Hampshire with helping her find her own voice... "The oil companies, the drug companies, the health insurance companies, the predatory student loan companies have had seven years of a president who stands up for them. It's time we had a president who stands up for all of you," ... It was an echo of Vice President Gore's Robert Shrum-influenced disaster of a 2000 Democratic convention speech in Los Angeles... The upside is that Mrs. Clinton is raising money from the very industries she is bashing, making...

Turns out everything–and I mean everything–you’ve heard about Hillary is true. I received a stream of emails in reply to my item yesterday about rumors of an affair between Hillary Clinton and her aide, Huma Abedin. Often email writers make wild allegations but in this case I was provided solid evidence to back up the charges. For example, Robert Morrow, who describes himself as “one of the nation’s top experts on wild Hillary and wild Bill,” told me he’d learned from experience that “every crazy rumor about the Clintons is true.” For example, Hillary’s past lovers include Webb Hubbell (“probably...

Drudge had a headline last week that the Times of London was running a story about Huma Abedin, Hillary's lesbian lover. As if having a muslim lesbian girlfriend wasn't explosive enough, there were rumors on the internet that Abedin was an agent of Saudi intelligence. The Clintons sold us out to the Chinese, so why not the Saudis too? Who killed this story in the US? I expect the liberal media to cover up for Her Thighness, but what happened to our guys? Hannity always shoots his mouth off about being the "Stop Hillary Express"; why isn't he on this?...

There’s quite a kerfuffle on this side of the Atlantic about a report in the London Times that included the titillating detail that it was being put about that Hillary Clinton was having an affair with her personal aide Huma Abedin. Allegations of a lesbian affair were made anonymously It was all in the context of South Carolina supposedly being the “foulest swamp of electoral dirty tricks in America” but Matt Drudge picked up on the story headlined “Snarls, smears and innuendo for Hillary Clinton” and left The Times itself looking distinctly sleazy. Credit for that goes principally to its...

BAGHDAD (Nov. 28) - A woman wearing an explosives belt blew herself up near an American patrol northeast of Baghdad - a rare female suicide bombing that wounded seven U.S. troops and five Iraqis, the U.S. military said Wednesday. More Iraqi refugees, heartened by reports of the lull in violence in Baghdad, were beginning to return and on Wednesday a convoy of over 800 people was expected in the Iraqi capital after an overnight bus ride from Damascus, Syria. A government spokesman said Wednesday that 60,000 Iraqis had returned in the past month and the country was expecting a similar...

Honeytrap? Ordinarily the sex life of politicians, like the sex life of newts, ought not to be a matter of public knowledge or interest...And the business of lesbianism need not be brought into the discussion at all. That is not the main thing. That this "deeply conservative" Muslim is her constant companion and aide is enough for alarms to go off. That is more than enough. (Hugh) It should be, but I imagine that the affair, rather than the Islam aspect, will be the focus of attention. A prominent male politician who has an affair will have the tabloids on...

Huma Abedin & Hillary Clinton May 6, 2000     Syed Zainul Abedin VARIATIONS: Syed, Sayed, Zainul, Zainal, Zaiunul, Abedin, Abedīn, etc Huma Abedin's father, Syed Zainul Abedin, was born in India, in 1928 [prior to the partition].

Hillary Clinton's campaign team are furious that an unsubstantiated rumour of a lesbian affair with her exotic aide de camp Huma Abedin, which has been doing the rounds of 'underground' blogs and websites in recent weeks, appears to have gone mainstream after reports in foreign papers addressed the subject of dirty tricks on the US presidential campaign trail. The problem started with a report in the London Times on Thursday. 'Hillary Clinton has been accused of having an affair with Huma Abedin,' read the caption under a photograph of the two trouser-suited women (above left) striding across the tarmac to...

          Hillary's Mystery Woman: Who is Huma?Senator Clinton's closest aide, Ms. Abedin never sweats; Oscar de la Renta wants to dress her by Spencer Morgan Published: April 1, 2007observer.com "It was like 110 degrees outside," recalled the source, a political aide who asked to remain anonymous. "We were all just pouring down with sweat. But I have this distinct memory of Huma traipsing in in this blue pantsuit—it was like this wool pantsuit—not a bead of sweat on her brow, not a hair out of place, with everything perfectly organized in her Yves Saint Laurent...

Now that the rumors about Hillary and her aide have hit the Times of London, Hillary will feel she cannot abandon her protégé. She instead is likely to become indignant, more determined to be seen, defiantly, with Huma Abedin on every occasion and to attack those who express the slightest, perfectly justified reservations about the perfectly plausible notion that Mrs. Clinton gets her idea of Islam, or of what Islam might be, necessarily skewed, from someone apparently full of personal charm and good looks (never to be discounted, often dangerously employed). One need only see how the personal charm of...

November 22, 2007 Snarls, smears and innuendo as attack dogs get ready for the fray Hillary Clinton and her aide, Huma Abedin Tim Reid in Columbia, South Carolina The anonymous e-mails and letters began dropping into inboxes and through front doors this summer. One claimed that Hillary Clinton was having a lesbian affair with Huma Abedin, her beautiful aide. Another online mass-mailing cautioned of the “dark secrets” of Mitt Romney’s Mormonism.

"Hillary Clinton has been accused of having an affair with Huma Abedin," reads the caption. MORE The splash stunned British readers and angered campaign insiders. "This does not even qualify as tabloid trash... it's ridiculous and reckless," a Hillary confidante explained over the weekend. The paper made no claims to knowing the truth of the relationship between Hillary and Huma, in its story headlined: "Snarls,...

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was said to have a lesbian relationship with her aide, Huma Abedin....... Experts say that the current campaign promises to become the dirtiest one in the history of the United States..... The best thing to do here is to ignore all the rumors. "People say a lot of things about me, so I really don’t pay any attention to it. It’s not true, but it is something that I have no control over. People will say what they want to say,” Hillary Clinton says. The rumor of Hillary Clinton’s lesbian love affairs started in August of...

My Theory - Based on Robert Novak's article that the Clinton camp has Scandalous Information on Obama - is this really "Mutually Assured Destruction?" You print story on me I will destroy Obama... and where will the Democrat Party be then?I think many of us have forgotten how the Clinton's operate - what they say and do is all designed to fool you to what their real agenda is.Is she really sending the LA Times a warning not to run the Huma story?Read theory here!
