Report: Huma Abedin sought advice from Hillary Clinton

By: Jennifer Epstein June 8, 2011 08:37 AM EDT

Anthony Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, is reported to have sought advice from her boss and friend, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in the aftermath of the New York Democrat’s admission that he had online sexually charged relationships with other women even after they married last year.

The Wall Street Journal reports an initial talk between Abedin and Clinton took place early Monday afternoon, after Weiner told his wife the truth about his behavior that morning, but the paper doesn’t provide details.

Abedin - who initially believed her husband’s story that he had been hacked - reacted to Weiner’s revelation with anger and sadness, but stayed composed, a source told The Journal.

Unlike the wives of other politicians who’ve admitted affairs, Abedin chose not to appear publicly with Weiner at his Monday afternoon press conference. “She has seen spouses stand there before — like Silda Spitzer — and look a lot less happy,” a friend told the New York Post, referring to the wife of former Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D-N.Y.).

Abedin watched the press conference — which included countless apologies from the congressman to his wife — on television in New York and, afterwards, went out to dinner with Weiner and friends and family.

By Tuesday, the Journal says, Abedin returned to work at the State Department in Washington as she prepared to leave on a weeklong trip to Africa with Clinton.

He’s a creep. And I think he might be a predator. Time to confiscate his computers.

Huma: I know you had to deal with a rapist. How do I deal with a pervert?
Hilda: Say it’s a right wing conspiracy and talk about being stalked by a sniper....it worked for me!

So Abedin leaves on a week long trip with Hillary. Does this sound like a distressed wife or more the actions of a political partner who is jetting off to continue her usual activities?

“She has seen spouses stand there before — like Silda Spitzer — and look a lot less happy,” a friend told the New York Post, referring to the wife of former Gov. Eliot Spitzer (D-N.Y.).

I simply cannot make sense out of this sentence. The individual words make sense, and even the phrases make sense. But the entire sentence makes no sense at all.

Maybe I'm missing something.

Or maybe the "friend" is just a typical liberal loon.

They should not use Huma’s last name in the same sentence with Hilary Clinton. I read it like this: “Abedin ... Hilary’ as a-beddin’ Hilary. I thought they were using it as a pun. THEN I realized it was her last name.

Oh how disgusting.

Who cares? Why is there any sympathy for this woman? She is a lying, cheating, vote stealing national socialist democrat who married one of her own kind.

Piss on them all.
