Why Would Huma Abedin Stand by Anthony Weiner?
COMMENTARY | The train wreck that is Anthony Weiner just may have an 11th hour derailment. The congressman, caught sending lewd text messages and photos to women, just found out that his wife, Huma Abedin, is pregnant with their first child. Abedin is standing by her man, according to Yahoo! News.
It probably won't be enough to prevent Weiner's resignation. Politico reports House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has called for a thorough investigation into Weiner's behavior. More sexting reports are coming to light. However, Huma sounds like a great gal to have in your corner when you've screwed up. I have to give her a lot of credit; it would not be an easy decision to make.
The Republicans will use the Weiner scandal as a political tool. Weiner didn't send X-rated texts and pictures because he is a Democrat any more than Arnold Schwarzenegger slept with his housekeeper because he is a Republican. Cheaters cheat because they have character flaws. Having power and prestige makes them more attractive, but they also fall harder and make a bigger splash.
The Times article "Why Powerful Men Behave Badly" explains Weiner well. For powerful men, sex becomes a status symbol, a power tool, part of "the job." Along with doctors, lawyers, teachers, police officers and celebrities, politicians have an elevated clout level not always merited. They get dazzled by their own light and believe that they are invincible.

“I do not believe she is pregnant.”
Agree; I never believed she’s pregnant. She’ll conveniently “mis-carry” soon. No more fake baby.
I think that your humble opinion is awfully close to the truth. She is hitlary’s property.
Elizabeth got even after her death. She may be responsible for sending him to jail.
“Arnold Schwarzenegger slept with his housekeeper because he is a Republican.”
Arnold is not and never has been a ‘Republican’...he is a liberal, spelled L-E-F-T-I-S-T.
Bill Clinton officiated at their wedding...
There’s your sign!

Nice guess young man. Older FReepers will understand.
Good God you Kids are so out of touch. My God...Do your darn homework!!!......Either that or you are a HUSSEIN lkover!
Wake up yarddog. There is only ONE reason: the ends justify the means.
It’s all about their agenda and they just don’t care about the details or what goes on.
These people are SO EVIL they just think they can sweep it under the rug.
To hell with them all. I wish nothing but total ill will on these monsters. Huma should abort that devil baby which we all know is A LIE.
She married him as a beard to distract from her relationship with Hillary, and now that he has become a liability and an embarrassment, she will find a way to get rid of him. Maybe after the miscarriage she can blame it all on wiener and escape.
George H. W. Bush is a total moron. He had nothing to do with it.
Evil? Yes. Stupid? Of course. Total liberal RINO? You bet.
Okay, I believe it. I truly hate GHWBush. His son only played the game but is like the father.
Watching them both make moving speeches full of lies at Reagan’s death proves they are scum. They both did everything they could from 1989-1993 to get rid of as many Reaganites from the federal goverment as they could.
“Kindler, Gentler Nation”...”Compassionate Conservatism”.
Kiss my butt.
She still thinks he’s going all the way to the top.
I would imagine that there are many more possilities.... including the one that this was all a weird marriage of convenience of some sort from the get-go.
Yep. The Edwards' story might just be the most sordid political family story ever. But Weiner and Huma might be making a case for themselves for that dishonor before it's all over.
cuz she’s a chick with a d***
Because it's convenient.
‘Nothing to do with it’??? My God, he was up to his elitist ears in it sonny, do your homework!! This old timer says KYO by the way.
