Hillary & Huma – A Dark Unseen Scandal Star?

October 30, 2007 Hillary & Huma – A Dark Unseen Scandal Star?

Mickey Kaus writes:

Do you sense there is some large mass of dark matter, an unseen Scandal Star, the gravitational pull of which is warping the coverage of what seems, on the surface, a pretty dull presidential race? I do. So does Ron Rosenbaum. I thought the Dark Star was the Edwards affair allegation. But Rosenbaum says "everyone in the elite Mainstream media" knows about another juicy scandal that the LAT is supposedly sitting on. I guess this is proof that I’m not in the elite, because I don’t know what he’s talking about. … My vestigial Limbaugh gland tells me it must involve a Democrat, or else the Times would have found a reason to print it. … P.S.: If it’s just Richardson, that will be very disappointing.

I’m placing my money on the lesbian-Hillary angle.

If you examine the candidates connected by the gossip columnists to current sex scandals, Hillary leads the way with her Huma connection (and Bill with his connections).

Within a couple of hours of reading Mickey Kaus’s report above, I blitzed more than 30 sources (most of them journalists) for what they know about this matter. None of them could identify the purported LA Times story.

My dialogue with my sources left me with no doubt Tuesday night (Oct. 30) that Hillary’s made passes at women and that Muslim Huma Abedin is Hillary’s most likely source of romantic and sexual love.

Here’s a picture of Hillary’s personal assistant Huma Abedin. Huma Abedin. Huma Abedin. Huma Abedin. Huma Abedin. Huma Abedin. Huma Abedin.

Michelle Cottle writes in the Aug. 13, 2007 New York magazine: "Huma Abedin, Hillary’s beautiful, enigmatic “body person,” spends nearly every waking minute with Hillary and so has the best sense of her daily rhythms and routines."

Even if the Ron Rosenbaum report is complete nonsense (as LAT’s editorial assistant editor Matt Welch asserts below), the mainstream media will come under increasing pressure (as Hillary waltzes to the Democratic nomination and assumes front runner status in the general election) to probe Hillary’s love life (or lack of it) and to examine the numerous assertions (by such persons as Dick Morris, Edward Klein, etc) that she bats for the other team.

Like the rest of us, Hillary needs love. Unlike the rest of us, Hillary is powerful enough to get what she wants.

Like any woman, Hillary needs hugs and comfort and solace. She’s not had that regularly from Bill for many years. Where’s it coming from? Huma is the source that makes the most sense.

Sull emails: "You say everyone needs love, hugs etc. Definitely true, and I started wondering about Condi. Where is she getting her love and hugs?"

From Wikipedia: "Abedin was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan to an Indian father and Pakistani mother, both Muslims. When she was 2 years old, the family relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Abedin returned to the United States to attend George Washington University.[1]"

From BigHeadDC:

We’re still a bit incredulous on this one, but a top level U.S. Department of Justice official is telling Big Head DC that Michael Musto’s rumor about Hillary Clinton fooling around with one of her top female aides Huma Abedin is based in reality!

“I am close enough to Hillary and Huma to tell you that this ‘rumor’ is true,” the official says. “It is well known inside her campaign that Hillary and Huma are an item.

“If you call Hillary’s residence in DC first thing in the morning, Huma answers the phone,” the official continues. “Same thing late at night and on the road. It’s a closely guarded secret that Hillary’s inner circle guards at all costs.”

From a post on Datalounge: "On the Chris Matthews show he does on the weekends with a roundtable, 2 of the journalists kept dropping hints that a story or stories about Bill Clinton might surface. It was in reference to how well Hillary has put the Monica incident behind her and how the country is now respecting her decision; but 2 of them stated that if another story was to come out in the next few months about Bill and an another affair, Hillary’s sunk. Again, it was very, very veiled, but it was alluded to several times and I remember thinking, "what do they know"?"

Another post: "Mike Rogers is on it at Blogactive (go back to July), and Andrew Sullivan was about an inch away from saying it around the same time, stating plainly that the roof was about to be ripped off Thompson’s sex life, but quickly backed off, writing soon after that he hadn’t meant to imply, you know, the gay."

From the April 1, 2007 New York Observer on Huma Abedin:

According to a friend, her favorite designers are Mr. de la Renta, Catherine Malandrino, Charles Nolan and Prada. “And she has a weakness for Marc Jacobs bags,” said the friend. “She is known for her bags.”

Robert Barnett, the Clintons’ longtime attorney, said that in 11 years of knowing her, he has never seen her wear the same outfit twice. He also said he holds Ms. Abedin’s intellect in the highest regard. “She has extremely good instincts and extremely good judgment,” he said. “She is also gorgeous and the most terrifically dressed young woman you will ever encounter.”

Joe emails: "How come no coverage on Gerald Ford’s accusation that Bill Clinton is a sex addict. The accusation makes no difference to me because in my mind a sex addict is only a problem if he is an offender, otherwise you just have a person who likes sex too much, I would vote for Clinton in a second because he was the smartest person in the world, despite his ridiculous liberal proclivities and sexual taste (monica??) – he is not boffing little girls or peeping for little boys and the women that he abuses pretty much were pathetic. I just love how Gerald Ford projects his wife’s addiction on to others. The women was a complete friging basket case – she was popping pills before rush limbaugh had a job. they had to do an intervention on her just to get her sober. There should be a rule that if you are a drug/alcohol addict or related to one, you should have to state that up front before you call others addicts."

Chaim Amalek writes:

As I see it, this can only help her with the very demographic she is most in need of help with: white men.

White men love lesbian stories. And because we believe that butch dykes are meaner and tougher than any five sissyfied liberal democratic men put together, we imagine that a bull like Hillary who has managed to turn a hot young Muslima (Luke – PICTURES, please!) into her body slave is just the sort of woman who can drive the Muslim world insane to the point of impotence. So the bottom line is that true or not, this rumor helps her, because it helps her with regular joes like us who wear pants and grumble about Mexicans.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: next to her, Hillary’s political rivals look like a bunch of women.

Otherwise, the various rumors of rumors (is there a word for a rumor about a rumor?) speculated about any of the Republicans would doom them, unless they are simple cases of heterosexual men in positions of power acting like heterosexual men in positions of power.

From NoHillaryClinton.com:

I believe the story is about Hillary Clinton having a lesbian affair with her "Right Hand Woman" Huma Abedin. Who is Huma you ask? Follow this link to read all about her.

Here is a list of reasons I think the story below is about Hillary and Huma.

I have been receiving emails about Huma – one came for a Department of Justice computer (ISP) stating this: "I am close enough to both Hillary and Huma to know that it is an open secret on the campaign that those two are romantically involved. It is something you will never get them to verify though…" If you’ve noticed recently the Mainstream Media has been churning out stories about how "romantic Bill Clinton is when he returns" to visit Hillary. How feminists have great relationships. Some gay organization flat out asked Hillary IF she was gay. She denied it, but wouldn’t you follow that question up with "Hillary, if you are not gay, are you Bi-sexual?" Etc, Etc Etc. Why all of the fuss about Bill and Hillary’s marriage? At first I was guessing that the Polling Data was showing that voters were indicating they were having problems with Bill and Hillary’s strange marriage, that voters might have thought she was Gay or anti-marriage. But after connecting the dots here – I am thinking that all of this media attention to the Clinton marriage is about crises control about this story that the LA Times is surpressing. According to my limited research the Clinton camp has tried to keep Huma’s existence real quiet. I at first suspected it to be because of her nationality and Hillary’s creepy relationships with India and Pakistan. To read up on these strange connections view these links: Gupta and Jinnah Huma according to information sent to me is possibly living with Hillary at her house in DC It is common knowledge that Hillary is bi-sexual. According to Bill’s long-time ex-girlfriend Gennifer Flowers, Hillary enjoyed performing oral sex on other women. On p.41 of Flowers’ autobiography "Gennifer Flowers: Passion and Betrayal", Gennifer asked Bill if there was any truth to the rumor that Hillary was having an affair with another woman. Bill laughed and said (referring to Hillary): "Honey – she’s probably eaten more p—y than I have."

Ace of Spades reports:

This is already out there, of course.

Billionaire Belinda Stronach insists there is nothing true about the rumors she and former President Clinton are having an affair, adding that it’s all a Republican plot.

The ultra-wealthy member of Canada’s parliament, who switched from the Conservative to the Liberal party, told the Montreal Gazette that the rumors upset her and she doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry about the global hullabaloo over her alleged role as Cinton’s latest squeeze.

Echoing Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s famous allegation of a "vast right-wing conspiracy," Stronach told the Gazette she suspects the rumors have been spread by Republicans.

But it wasn’t Republicans who reported last year that she was spotted all over New York with Clinton last year – it was the media.

New York Daily News columnist Ben Widdicombe told ExtraTV.com: "She’s blonde, she’s ambitious and she’s in politics, but she’s not Bill Clinton’s wife. It’s Belinda Stronach, his friend from Canada who’s been visiting Bill in New York this week.

…Wrote ExtraTV.com: "And Belinda is no stranger to the limelight either. She’s divorced from Olympic champion speed skater Johan Olaf Lass and currently has romantic ties to another politician. Still, there have been rumors of a romance between Belinda and Bill since they met five years ago at a charity event."

So there’s that. What could be the not "in this form" twist? Well, I hate to speculate (ahem) but it could be They’re in love and Bill and Hillary plan on divorcing as soon as the elections are over.

It should also be noted Clinton has been linked to socialite Lisa Belzberg. Against this rumor: It seems to have been over for a while. In favor of this rumor: She’s reportedly "busty."

This is juicier.

From the Michael Musto gossip column linked in the above article:

As I recently said on MONICA CROWLEY’s radio show, whisper campaigns are claiming that HILLARY CLINTON is GAYLE KING–ing her aide de camp, the glamorous HUMA ABEDIN, an Indian/Pakistani goddess from Kalamazoo, Michigan. In other words, Hillary may be putting Huma out there in the press and purposely making her more visible as a pre-emptive strike that amounts to her hiding in plain sight. This way, no Republican can later say, "Who is this gorgeous babe who spends so much intimate time with Hillary that the Observer called her Hill’s ‘body person’? Was GENNIFER FLOWERS’s book right about Hillary’s sexual taste?" And does either of this couple have the balls to bottom?

Of course that whole scenario can’t possibly be true, since Bill and Hill have been so lovey-dovey lately for the cameras, and besides, whenever he’s been serviced by an intern—or by anyone—he’s clearly been thinking of his wife. (They’re that close.) But suddenly, Huma—a sort of Muslim SALMA HAYEK—has that spread in Vogue and the accompanying write-up notes that she "oversees every minute of Senator Clinton’s day." Every single minute? Even Gayle King takes a break now and then! (PS: If I called for comment, Hillary’s camp would surely say, "Just because two powerful women are closer than sardines doesn’t make them dykes." And that’s so true. Look at MATT and BEN. But now that Crowley has dubbed me the head of Huma Resources, I’m going to pursue this story with every cojone I’ve got.)

Matt Welch of the LA Times tells Patterico:

I can tell you the following — I have never, ever, ever, never, ever, ever, ever heard anything about this. And I spent last week in Washington DC, worked in the LAT bureau, went to parties with LAT muckety-mucks, and gossiped with dozens of people who cover presidential politics; none of whom ever so much as mentioned anything about it. Rosenbaum’s single, anonymous source is most certainly wrong, at least about the “everyone knows” part. He also most certainly is wrong that the same “everyone” apparently “doesn’t know what to do with it” — seasoned political journalists are not helpless bystanders in the face of juicy rumors, they are specifically trained to go out and investigate them, and report when relevant.

As for Rosenbaum’s agonizing over “reporting” such a thing, I don’t have much respect for it. Either report or don’t; save us the handwringing about stooping to “Web 2.0″ whateverthehell.

TBogg summarizes my blog post: "If I was Hillary Clinton and I was a lesbian (but I repeat myself) this is totally who I would be making out with. Here’s another picture of her. And another. And another. And anoth- Unnngh!…..Cigarette?"

From FreeRepublic:

How does the child of two university professors [one of them deceased], who is single, never married, and living on a clerical salary, in one of the most expensive cities in America, afford to "never… wear the same outfit twice"?

Much less purchase from the likes of Oscar de la Renta, Catherine Malandrino, Charles Nolan, Prada, and Marc Jacobs? Not to mention Yves Saint Laurent?

How does the child of two university professors [one of them deceased], who is single, never married, and living on a clerical salary, in one of the most expensive cities in America, afford to buy her own "apartment in the vicinity of 12th and U streets"?

What would such an apartment cost? $500,000? $750,000? $1,000,000?

Where is she getting that kind of money? Who is the co-signor on her loan?

And as bad as the financials of the Observer piece are, the psychological profile it paints is even worse:

"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 handbag."

That sort of fantastical, supernaturally tinged tale is not unusual. Indeed, in the insular world of New York and D.C. politics, Huma Abedin has become a sort of mythical figure…

"I think she has special powers," said public-radio broadcaster Katia Dunn, who recently crossed paths with Ms. Abedin and Mrs. Clinton at a café on Capitol Hill…

Representative Anthony Weiner, a swingingly single Brooklyn Democrat who has known Ms. Abedin since before Hillary Clinton was elected to office, talked about her ability to perform under pressure "preternaturally"…

"Have you seen Huma?" asked James Carville, the former advisor to President Clinton. "Her appearance is just like, ‘Hoh my God!’ She takes your breath away. She’s an unbelievably, stunningly gorgeous woman. Nobody in that position can be that good-looking; it just doesn’t happen." He added that she is also "damn smart."

"She is a person of enormous intellect with in-depth knowledge on a number of issues—especially issues pertaining to the Middle East," said Senator John McCain, in a statement relayed by one of his aides.

"Huma is an example of why more people, particularly in Washington, need to understand the rest of the world, need to recognize what an asset it is to have cross-cultural experiences," wrote Queen Noor of Jordan in an e-mail…

"I’d call Huma one in a million," said Mrs. Clinton’s press secretary, Philippe Reines, "but that would mean there are 5,999 others in the world just like her, and there simply aren’t. She is truly one of a kind, one in a billion. We are all in awe of her poise, grace, judgment, intellect and her seemingly endless reserve of kindness, patience and energy."

People get nervous & flighty & anxious in life when they CARE.

People are unflappable when they DON’T CARE.

Just from a purely psychological point of view, the fact that she seems to be unflappable within the confines of the biggest pressure cooker in American politics suggests to me that she doesn’t care about American politics – that, instead, she cares about something else – something other than American politics.

And certainly the easiest way to not care about a set of circumstances in life is when you aren’t actually participating in those circumstances, but rather are merely ACTING THE PART of someone who is participating in those circumstances.

The very fact that she spent 15 or 16 years in Saudi Arabia [from roughly the age of 2, until roughly the age of 18], and then showed up in the Clinton Whitehouse, as an intern, in 1996, at roughly the age of 21, is, in and of itself, a massive security breach.

That she then spent another five years in the Clinton Whitehouse, and, for most of the last seven years, has been wedded at the hip to Mrs. Clinton, night and day [whether or not they are engaging in acts of sodomy], is an unthinkable compromise of national security.

And even if it wasn’t an "unthinkable compromise of national security" on Monday, September 10, 2001, it damned sure became an unthinkable compromise of national security on Tuesday, September 11, 2001.

As a thought experiment, reverse the roles, and suppose that Huma Abedin was a Jewish girl, with supermodel looks, and that her parents had left America when she was 2, and had emigrated to Israel [even though NEITHER of her parents had been born in Israel], and that her mother was an Israeli professor, and that her father had founded his own institute devoted to Israeli-American and interfaith understanding and reconciliation and published a journal focusing on Jewish minorities living in the diaspora.

And suppose that she had worked her way into the Clinton Whitehouse, in 1996, at the age of 21 [after spending 15 or 16 of her formative years in Israel], and that she had become wedded at the hip to Mrs. Clinton, night and day, for the next 11 years.

[We'll leave out the part about the 19 Jews - 15 of them from Israel - who hijacked a bunch of jetliners and flew them into the World Trade Center & the Pentagon, back in 2001.]

And suppose that she was spending money way beyond her apparent station in life.

And suppose that she was unflappable in pressure-cooker situtations.

Now suppose all of those things, and then come to the logical conclusion.

People would be screaming "Mossad" at the top of their lungs.

She's gonna score about half of the little pervert's stash

Hillary could get into Obama's stash. She just has to convince the Democratic party that she can save it from a Humiliating defeat.

Obama admits his "shellacking" in the last election, but unlike Bill Clinton, he learned nothing from it. Hillary can show how, she, like Bill can win back the alienated voters back from their disenchantment with Obama by tacking to the middle.

The media will always allow a Democrat to tack (even though they know it is false).

Hillary is a real danger. The Article above is just a smoke screen. Bill and Hillary are ready to return and grift America some more.

“Hillary is a dyke?” I was at a “spa” in Ca. one time and one of the women there said they used to spy on her and her gal pals frolicking in the hot tub at the mansion next door: naked.
And by the by, Chelsea has inherited her mother’s charm. My daughter was in NY with friends a few years ago and one of them knew Chelsea who was supposed to meet them for drinks. She didn’t arrive due to not feeling well. But the word was: Do NOT mention her parents in any way except glowing terms or she goes ballistic complete with pouting/rants and then drops you as a friend. Geez.

Sadly, this would be a huge improvement over Obama.

Hill and Bill want to use America for their own personal gain, they may not love America, but they do not have an ongoing thirst to destroy everything American.

I don't think 65 year old women are very interested in sex with any partner.

Check out a google search for 'the villages florida std' and see if you still stand by that statement.

No doubt that if hillary challenges barry in 2012, he will try to use this against her; however, she probably knows his deep, dark secrets as well...and the kenyan doesn't want that revealed.

Mark my words that follow....

That idiot Anthony Weiner has communicated to his twitter chicks that what he was doing sending them pictures and whatnot is A-OK because his wife is fine with it. I’d bet money that he has told some of these babes that his wife is “in to chicks” and that it would be fun for the three of them to hook up.

Weiner thinks because he has been able to bully so many people because of his ELECTED position for so long that he can do whatever he likes. He is going to find out this week that is not the case and actually the opposite is the reality.

He will not go down without making a very big mess and he is going to take several other powerful people with him unless they stop him first. He is in a world of hurt. Self-inflicted. He is done in Congress and may well be on his way to his own Vince Foster moment.....

A lot of us care. Keep having corrupt people in the White House and you soon get the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, twenty-first century edition. Hillary probably figures that if we've had one gay president already, there's room for another.

i did EXACTLY what ilgipper said. i googled his exact phrase. and found ZERO verifiable facts. quotes supporting him from the DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND, and also things like: http://www.articlesbase.com/sexuality-articles/the-damning-of-the-villages-830630.html The Damning of The Villages Posted: Mar 23, 2009 " The genesis of the story was a piece on the website of WFTV on May 25th of 2006. The crux of the short article (link below) is that doctors have noted an increase in STDs and that the county was preparing an educational program to address the situation. Not much more. http://www.wftv.com/news/9275560/detail.html Three days later, May 28th, the democraticunderground.com include a single post that stated: "STDs Running Rampant at The Villages." This simple three line post (which slams "retired GOP types for screwing around") still tops a Google search for: STDs, The Villages. Thus, "increase" was transformed into "rampant" and the game was on. The blogs selected "rampant" as their descriptive favorite and The Villages was now unfairly tainted.
