Huma Abedin Still Supports Weiner, Tries to Salvage His Career

By SUSAN DONALDSON JAMES and CLAIRE SHIPMAN (@ClaireShipman) June 8, 2011

Huma Abedin, devastated, but still committed to her husband New York Rep. Anthony Weiner, has told friends she hopes to help him survive the sexting scandal amidst calls for his resignation.

Weiner confessed Monday to lying about sending a photo of his crotch via Twitter to 21-year-old Seattle college student Gennette Cordova and five other women in the last three years.

Friends say that Abedin, who is a top aide to Hillary Clinton, did know that Weiner had a "problem" before their marriage, but he promised he was past that.

Weiner, 46, and Abedin, 34, have only been married 11 months.

Abedin, say friends and colleagues, still believes she can salvage his political career and wants to help him do that. She has been leaning and getting advice from her boss, Hillary Clinton, and her sister, say friends.

Huma’s just trying to keep the gravy train on the tracks.

WHo knows? Maybe she will wind up as a Senator from New York. Or secretary of State. Standing by your man can have a big payoff. Right, Hillary?

Some support. Huma took over for Africa with the real love of her life, Hillary Clinton.

“When he officiated at the Long Island ceremony, Bill Clinton reportedly toasted Abedin, saying she was like a daughter to him.”

Uh,oh.

Well, she is learning from the greatest of masters. Of anybody knows how to salvage a low-life husband’s career, it is Hillary.

Lets see Im not impressed with the woman behind the man crap at all. Stand up lady! Whats wrong with you? My husband would be on the curb so fast his head would spin. That there is the difference between a Dem woman and a Rep. woman. Dem women get there on the mans coattails, Republican women do it themselves!!!

>>> Huma’s just trying to keep the gravy train on the tracks. >>>

You are so right, and this is why liberals marry. They don’t share names, likely don’t share property, rarely in the same country, let alone house — they are nothing more than mergers for show and expediency.

And since they keep separate names, they can often avoid conflicts of interets issues.

I fully believe this is a political sham marriage anyway, so seeing that Weiner’s career is “cooked” there is no reason for Huma to stay married to him. Weiner is now a liability to Huma and the Clintons

They will divorce within 6 months of his resignation (leaving enough time in between simply to let the media coverage die-down a bit)

Well, has there ever been any female that Bill hasn’t lusted after???? Who knows about Bill and Huma?

I wonder if Bill ever truly lusted after Hillary, or if it was always a business partnership type of marriage.

Something smells very fishy here.

Oh, forgot...democrat, and connected to the Hillabeast.

Another woman who makes her mark through her man.

Gotta love those feminists.

I seriously doubt that any newlywed who is currently in this kind of marriage crisis is going to be jetting off to Africa for a week for her "job"

As usual, ABC News is peddling propaganda for the masses.

She really only needs one hand to support Weiner -- that leaves her other hand to ... well, do "whatever" to Hillary...
