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 catch a plane. The next day, the Russian newspaper Pravda wrote a similar round-up which concluded: "Hillary and her aide, Huma Abedin, do live together at home and on the road, but the only way to nail Clinton would be to catch them together in a lesbian action."
The rumour of a lesbian love affair appears to have been been started in August 2007 by the New York freesheet, the Village Voice. Although neither the Times nor Pravda made any attempt to claim the story was true, some Americans have taken the reports in two of the world's most famous newspapers to heart. Not least Hillary's own team. "This does not even qualify as tabloid trash... it's ridiculous and reckless," a Clinton aide said at the weekend.
Abedin, who is the daughter of Indian and Pakistani parents and comes from Kalamazoo Michigan, has been an aide to Clinton for some years. The photograph in the Times was taken in 2000. She was recently photographed (above right) in Vogue's 'Age' issue, as an example of a glamorous woman in her 30s with good looks, insider influence and a fabulous address book. She chose two red dresses - by Vera Wang and Oscar de la Renta - for her Vogue photoshoot.
Although the Times, owned by Rupert Murdoch, appears to have caused her some heartache, Hillary Clinton was diplomatic when asked an awkward question in Iowa at the weekend about Murdoch's growing influence in America. The arch-conservative media baron Rupert Murdoch, who already owns Fox News, the New York Post (and its gossip section Page Six, which notoriously went after Clinton's husband Bill during his presidency) and will soon own the Wall Street Journal.
Did Clinton think, the questioner wanted to know, Americans would "lose out democracy" if one person controlled their media? Clinton answered: "There have been a lot of media consolidations in the last several years, and it is quite troubling. It's bad for consumers because you limit choice, it¹s bad for citizens because it limits the diversity we have." But she also made it clear that she wasn't singling out "any company in particular" for condemnation. "I just want to see more competition, especially in the same markets."
What she didn't tell the questioner was that, the Times article notwithstanding, she and Murdoch have developed a close if curious relationship since she became junior senator for New York in 2001. Murdoch even held a fundraiser last year for Clinton's senate campaign and recently bankrolled former nemesis Bill Clinton's global warming initiative.
Does this mean she’s ‘Abedin’ a sleeper cell?
Good point. He did a lot of research... More people should read his books.
specifically one book.........THE SECRET LIFE OF BILL CLINTON the unreported stories.
........Pritchard hold no punches, proves his comments and
exposed what happened and worse, who saw and did squat.
Yes, I totally agree. I only wish he would’ve picked a different title, because it probably turned some people away before reading it. But it’s definitely a book people should read... namely liberals who are considering voting for Hillary.
Not that I want to indulge in the Clinton sex life, but, my best guess is the Husband is allowed to roam, because the wife doesn’t like or have any.
Notice how Hillary does not include conservativism in her definition of diversity, but an evil to be rooted out, as is the conservative radio show , and the conservative blogosphere.

Didn’t want that to get lost in the urinal.
What the “Clinton camp” is “angry” about is that nobody cares.
I think the only “relationship” Hillary has is with her vibrator. I suspect that this “rumor” (probably easily “dispelled”) is being pushed by Clinton’s own people, as a pretext for dropping the big MOAB scandal bomb on Obama (”his people are doing it to us, turnabout’s fair play”).
It does, however, lightly sweep them away while lying itself about what the Lewinsky case was all about. In that, I will rely on the single death I used, while not disbelieving all the others, nor discrediting all of the others. Some may be coincidences, some unrelated to the Clinton's themselves.
You nailed that one! But his MSM colleagues continue to deceive the masses about his true colors.
I heard Hitlery is fork tongued.
Even though this is too funny and good to be true (who cares what Hillary’s sexual proclivities are, but if being a lipstick lesbian is Okie Dokie with this crowd, why not just be honest & be one?) remember: we want Hillary to win the Dem nomination at all costs, including putting a lid on the Hillary-Is-A-Lesbian story. But I did always have her fugured for a butch-on-butch lesbian: who knew that she went for the hairy dog looking Arab type?
>>Lesbian or not, Humas been Hillarys batman for almost 12 years she undoubtedly know enough to put Hillary in the stocks.<<
Huma was born in 1975, thus making her 32 years old. Twelve years ago, she was 20 years old. Are you saying that she was Hillary’s “batman” at the age of 20?
They should be pissed. She has so many negatives but people have to use this type of story. Stupid way to win an election. It would be different if there was a video or something but to harp on speculation is not a way to win an election.
Humas been Hillarys batman for almost 12 years she undoubtedly know enough to put Hillary in the stocks
Just like the rumors that Karl Rove was a butt buddy of George Bush. I thought those rumors were disgusting and I actually think these one’s are too. Karl and George did not have any tapes proving this and neither do Hillary and this chick.
Funniest dang show EVER
That's the one that has me jumping. If Hillary gets in as President. we will have an agent of Saudi influence at the center of government whispering in Hillary's ear.
Wahoo...what a way to wake up...This was the first i had heard about the Mary Mahoney matter and the WH connection...mama mia...coffee time...
Good Morning Viet___, er America
