"So Huma is separating from her husband... but wasn't she already separated... kinda?"

That's what I said out loud when I saw the headline: "Humiliated Huma FINALLY dumps sexting Weiner: Hillary's top aide separates from her husband just hours after he sent an admirer a photo of his crotch while their four-year-old son slept beside him."

And let me elevate my own comment from my earlier post this morning:
They're a fascinating mystery. She's so closed and he's so open. Why are they together? Why were they ever together? Why are they still together? Are they together now for the child? Would that explain the exposure of the child in a sexual context? What do I have to do to unlock myself from this locked off lady?
ADDED: Meade just said: "If this was really about crossing a line with a child, that child would never have appeared in the movie."

The child is something to trade off of. It's the same ratings as the discovery of child sexual abuse in the 70s.

Ratings is everything.

Hillary and Huma got the thrill of destroying themselves a Jew. But Anthony was a loser in his last two elections so what good was he anymore.

Brando म्हणाले...

Well, we found out what Huma's last straw was--a third sexting, this time with the kid.

Now to wait for the Lifetime Movie to come out.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

Let's see what Weiner does now that he's been set free.

They bullied him out of his Congressional seat. They used him when they thought they could reconstruct him. And now they kick him to the curb.

I'd love to see him rise again. After a refractory period.

He could lead the alt-left.

Because he's stupid.

Don't like anyone who is close to Hillary - don't trust 'em, but it's about time this woman showed a little backbone. Of course, Hillary hasn't set much of an example for how to deal with a philandering husband.

William म्हणाले...

I don't see how Weiner can ever again serve in public life. Even in private life, it would be extremely difficult for him to find a job. A post with the Clinton Foundation is definitely out.......Perhaps Vivid Entertainment could offer him a one time gig in a porn role with Lindsay Lohan. It's a one time pay dauphinois, but it would be worth big bucks........Who knows? Maybe he has a future as a pornstar. Maybe that was his unconscious motivation all along.

I didn't really understand that comment about unlocking. Are you suggesting that he couldn't get out of the marriage so he used his child to take things to another level, one that Huma couldn't ignore? If so....that's horrifying. All of it is nauseating, and there is no explanation for the facts of the picture that are morally acceptable, but that explanation really pushes the boundaries of human decency.

MacMacConnell म्हणाले...

Glenn Reynolds said it best at Instapundit,

Love the photo.

The headline is just one of a long like of jokes on AW's name. Not the best, not the worst.

David Begley म्हणाले...

"Why were they ever together?"

It was a political business deal. The marriage provided her cover. For him, it gained him access to Hillary. Just like the Clintons deal but not as lucrative.

SteveR म्हणाले...

Here's the takeaway. Poor Huma -- so utterly competent as a professional, so successful as a mother -- yet has to deal with her husband's sexual wrongs in spite of her own love and faithfulness.

Just like Hillary. Another victim. (drys eyes)

Wince म्हणाले...

"So Huma is separating from her husband... but wasn't she already separated... kinda?"

Maybe this episode was just a contrivance to elicit sympathy to shore-up the woman's vote for Hillary?

Problem is, it just attracts attention to the weird relationships of the women in the Hillary campaign have with men.

I feel bad for Weiner. He obviously has a sexual addiction and isn't willing to stop himself. No matter the consequences. He needs help, but this business of being in the public eye is only going to make getting that help worse.

The only good news is, he is a Democrat. Which means lots of, "Let's let private citizens be private" talk in the media.

Pretty darn funny! Suprised I am first to mention it.

More seriously, the sexting is not the problem. They probably have an understanding regarding that. Getting caught, and notification to Huma it would be publicized, was the problem. Also, still time for "therapy and reconciliation" in the future.

Meade -

True. The context remains sexual. The uncontrolled sexual weirdness that swirls around the Clintons reminds us of Bill, and how tired we are of all of this.
The Clintons cannot shake the sexual deviancy. But you are correct- Carlos never really hurt anyone except his own family, his own political career, and his own child.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

Still, you could start calling him Dirk Diggler for amusement.

SukieTawdry म्हणाले...

Why the hell should Weiner rise again? What did he bring to the table in the first place? No, Carlos will go the way of Client-9, a far more talented man (and one who, by the way, when last heard of was under investigation for assault). There will be attempts to resurrect him, but nothing will take. Perhaps he'll write a tell-all book. That would be amusing.

bigkat म्हणाले...

must it really be spelled out after all these years. Weiner and Hillary are political beards. in both couples its a symbiotic relationship, both females have no interest in their partners and ditto for the males. the sole child for each was just to complete the "Happy Normal Family Charade" the end justifies the means for liberals.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

I'd stand by my suggestion that Weiner is after awe from women.

Eric the Fruit Bat म्हणाले...

In the movie Boogie Nights, the fee was $5.00 to look at the package of the young and aspiring Dirk Diggler, IIRC.

I don't think anyone actually paid to do so, Jack Horner having bigger plans in mind and other means at his disposal.

Maybe $5.00 was reasonable at the time, but such a display is worth much less than $5.00 today, even with inflation, what with the internet and all, and poor Mr. Weiner can't even give it away for free without getting into trouble.

rhhardin म्हणाले...

I forget how Boogie Nights came out, but I think it was a humbled Dirk looking for simple honest work in the porn industry.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

"Huma is a member of the Clinton Crime Family. She's set for life."

But they have shared funds now, and he's going to be spending money perhaps. He's entitled to half of whatever they've acquired during the marriage. I'm just concerned about sudden big expenses for him now, as so many opportunities are dropping into his famous lap.

As for her income stream in the future, I expect him to divert a big hunk of that into the spousal support he will need.

YoungHegelian म्हणाले...

I feel sorry for that poor kid. Not because he was the backdrop in a sexting, but because digital is forever. He's gonna be getting jibed about his Dad "Weiner & his weiner" for all of his school years.

It would be bad enough with a name like "Weiner" to begin with, but add in Dad with his sex games, & the kid will be living in Hell.

Maybe, he'll convert to Islam or sumthin' just for payback.

One can only imagine the morning phone call from Hillary, "Huma today we should wear turquoise tops. I've got a $1200 McLemore blouse I'm dying to wear. Huma make sure your top covers your hips so I'm not so obvious and white pants. The limo will pick you up at ten."

If Huma was really Hillary's friend, she would advise her that women with cankles and fat feet should not wear $700 white Gucci toggle-bit loafers.

The report in the NY Post has the child suddenly jumping into the bed. Do you want to pillory every man who's had an erection when a child suddenly jumped into the bed?

William म्हणाले...

On further thought, I don't think a video with Lindsay Lohan would be the most lucrative way for Weiner to monetize his fame and sex appeal. There's just too much pirating of digital material for for such a film to be truly lucrative. It says something bad about America that so many people are willing to download free copies of our public figures' sex lives instead of paying a fair tariff for the viewing.......There is, however, a way out of the conundrum. I'm thinking of a pay per view event. Make it an important social occasion. Weiner can donate a portion of the proceeds to the Clinton re-election campaign. Lots of Hollywood celebrities could show up for the event. This would serve to not only raise money for Hillary but to lessen the stigma attached to those like Anthony and Bill who have chosen to express their sexuality in innovative and imaginative ways.

Meade म्हणाले...

"True. The context remains sexual."

The important context is power. Hillary actively enabled Bill Clinton's serial harassment of subordinates in the workplace. This has been public knowledge for 20 years.

Teach women not to enable harassment, of any kind — in the workplace, the classroom, the government, the military, or any place at all.

Whether he will need spousal support or not, he deserves a legal settlement that is fair.

Spitzer had a TV talk show. Weiner is a good talker. And who knows what he'll say now that he's set loose? He's got a lot of people he could blab on. I'd like to hear it. Why can't he get into the Bernie Sanders niche?

Weiner originally soared into the public picture when he was getting passionate and spouting off in Congress. He can get back to that, and he won't have to take care not do things that hurt Huma. Do you think Weiner loves Hillary Clinton? I don't. He's got the motive and the opportunity to bust things open on the left the way Trump did on the right.

Trump's having 3 wives hasn't held him back too much. Not everyone cares about the sexual stuff and some people think it's human frailty of a forgivable kind. Yes, he hurt his wife, but so did Bill Clinton. And maybe his wife hurt him and he can't say it. You know, there are always a lot of women who are open to hearing from a man that his wife doesn't understand him and doesn't know how to give him the love he needs.

Meade म्हणाले...

" I have the right to express my opinion as much as he does, or do I not?"

I agree — you do have the right. But I'm talking about what is right. You called Glenn Reynolds an idiot and yet, by your own admission, it is you who can't make your point without shouting in caps.

If you're the prodigy of the left it's a feature not a bug. PM of Canada Justin Trudeau's mother seems to have been an official Studio 54's mattress back, her photos of spread muffin published all over the world. Hedonism didn't hurt The Kennedys either.

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

"Thank God for the Daily Mail. The bare facts, and lots and lots of pictures."

Ann Althouse म्हणाले...

"Whether he will need spousal support or not, he deserves a legal settlement that is fair."

I agree. He was the stay-at-home spouse who supported her when her career was on the upswing. He facilitated her rise, and her future income is in some unknowable way related to his efforts in the home.

Yes, he could have done the home-based spouse role better, but he did take the backup role that deserves respect in a divorce.

There is little doubt that he gets a rise out of his sexting hobby. As for a refractory period. he has demonstrated zero control over his obsession for a long time already.

Then there is the question about the alt-left. Sadly, we don't even know if the alt-right is for real because we depend on our truthful media to tell us about it. Who knows, perhaps we are now having to deal with the Bilderbergers?

Greg Gutfeld doesn't know what the alt-right represents. He asks:
Is it a computer key that, once you press it, sends your browser history to your grandmother?
Or a new antiperspirant for millennials, all natural and made with bug saliva?
Or is it a boy band that crafts ballads out of books by Ann Coulter?

अनामित म्हणाले...

Althouse, no, I understand that men can have an erection at odd times. However he shouldn't have sexted a picture of his penis in the tight underwear with his child laying next to him. I suspect that he knew his genitals were in that picture, don't you?

MaxedOutMama म्हणाले...

Ann - you are missing the main issue here - this wasn't accidental. Weiner is the one who brings it up and sends the picture. That is extremely odd, and raises very difficult issues.

A medical professional or teacher who had become aware of this type of behavior - deliberate involvement of a child in a sexual context, plus imagery - would be bound to report it to the state's child protection agency.

What KIND OF PERSON WITH WHAT KIND OF EFFING KINK DELIBERATELY INTRODUCES AN IMAGE OF THEIR CHILD IN THEIR BED to a person with whom that person is conducting a sexual (if remote) courtship/transaction? Are you flipping insane? This is very far outside the boundaries of ANYTHING that could be considered normal behavior!

Did Weiner think this was sexy? Because to most people it would be a big turnoff!! Is he looking for a particular type of person?

This is, if nothing else, an attraction to sexual child predators who are very good at using adults to get to their children. So it's dangerous. However, the second danger, and a very real one, is that Weiner appears to be sexually trawling using his kid; he has to lose custody until he's cleared by a qualified psychologist.

The fact that you don't comprehend this is rather frightening.

Sorry I worded that so badly.

I'd rewrite it:

Do you want to pillory every man who has ever been in bed with an erection and then finds himself surprised by a child jumping in with him?

The other things you perceive as jokes are intentional, and your perceiving this as a joke is on you.

It's all about politics - Huma is Hillary's Girl Friday, and Hillary doesn't need yet another creepy perv in the extended political family. Huma knows how to read the tea leaves, and if she wanted a senior position in the Clinton 2.0 White House, it was time to cut the Weiner.

SukieTawdry म्हणाले...

Oh, Weiner undoubtedly has a lot of dirt to dish, that's for sure. If he chooses to go that route, he's guaranteed continued notoriety and a public forum, for a while at least. (Of course, if he chooses to go that route, he better watch his back but good.) Spitzer's had opportunities to try his hand at a lot of things since his public disgrace, but nothing that's amounted to much. And he has a lot more to offer than Weiner who before his sexting activities was known primarily for his combative bombast and high-profile marriage. The future leader of a political or social movement? I'm not seeing that at all. But certainly, stranger things have happened.

"The report in the NY Post has the child suddenly jumping into the bed. Do you want to pillory every man who's had an erection when a child suddenly jumped into the bed?' Surely you are not suggesting the child caused the erection? Pretty darn funny today !. How long can you keep it up?"

Sorry I worded that so badly.

I'd rewrite it:

Do you want to pillory every man who has ever been in bed with an erection and then finds himself surprised by a child jumping in with him?

The other things you perceive as jokes are intentional, and your perceiving this as a joke is on you.

Found it un-intentionally hum
orous because of your dedication to precision in writing. No offense intended. Suppose there is no humor intended in "pilloy/Hillary"

You called Glenn Reynolds an idiot based on hearsay? You didn't bother to do a search to see if he was "stating" what you claimed he was "stating"? You just assumed a comment on the internet to be fact?

There may be an idiot here, but I don't think it's Glenn.

You should apologize.

Meade, the headline "SHE’S SPLITTING UP WITH HIM FOR THE SAME REASON HILLARY STAYED WITH BILL: POLITICAL VIABILITY." was I assumed commentary, prior to a link, by Reynolds, which I copied and pasted from Instapundit.I did not include the link. I can't find it now, so it's been deleted, I guess. But, regardless the point still stands.

But, who is the idiot, me or Unkown who supported a candidate that said America has too many deodorants and then proceed to purchase his third house? A candidate whose wife fraudulently bankrupted a small college.

Unkown who now supports a grifter name Hillary Clinton, Obama's third term with the exception that she's the Paul Wolfowitz neocon candidate.

What's interesting about the Wagger's case isn't that Huma stayed until the kid got involved. It's how long idiot folks like Jon Stewart and Rachel Maddow did. All they had to do was look at the timeline. Instead they beclowned themselves. "Do you mind if I ask you this question?" Really.

That all depends, Ann.
Did he have an erection before the child got in bed with him or did he get an erection because the child got in bed with him.

Weinermandius

I read a hyperlink from a Twitter sage
Who said: "A vast and trunkless dick of stone
Stands in an archive. Near it on the page,
Half sunk, a shattered screencap lies, whose tone
And wrinkled pecs and leer of middle age
Tell that its subject kept that poontang rapt
Who yet discuss, in coed Facebook throngs,
The man who chased them and his hand that fapped.
And on the EXIF these words appear:
`My name is Weinermandius, Dong of Dongs:
Look on my junk, ye mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal bulge, manscaped and bare,
The lonely intertubes stretch far away."

अनामित म्हणाले...

Meade,
It's not slander. If the headline that Mac McConnel claims was there on Instapundit, but now is gone is true, it's an idiotic thing to assert, almost like slander, libel, whatever. So the question should be, WHY did Glenn Reynolds delete the headline? Or did he? or is Mac McConnell not telling the truth? I assumed he was telling the truth, I had no reason to think he was lying.

Ann Althouse said...Weiner originally soared into the public picture when he was getting passionate and spouting off in Congress.

That's just the kind of person we need in politics today, hear hear! The Media loves Trump so much, maybe Weiner can follow that model--that's what America's desperate for.

ou know, there are always a lot of women who are open to hearing from a man that his wife doesn't understand him and doesn't know how to give him the love he needs.

Yes, there are lot of stupid, gullible, self-deluding people out there. When those people are male we call them idiots. When those people are female we mostly talk about how terrible it was that the mean ol' man treated them badly--they were only following their hearts and caring too much, after all.

This is too funny, wasn't it one of Breitbart's first touchdowns to expose Anthony Weiner as Carlos Danger in the first sexting scandal? Wasn't that very soon after Carlos Danger's wedding to Huma? This is only the third time he was actually caught.

So Grifter Hillary's understudy Muslim Brotherhood princess Huma, employed by Teneo, Clinton Foundation and the State Dept. marries loudmouth Sen. Schumer's loudmouth understudy NY Jew Anthony Weiner, aka Carlos danger, in a ceremony conducted by lying Southern Baptist Slick Willy Bill Clinton, Rhode's scholar, Ark. Gov., Pres of US, womanizer and Raping Attorney General of Arkansas. Politics had nothing to do with this multicultural experiment.

MayBee म्हणाले...

As I recall, Huma and Anthony announced they were getting married soon after the rumors about Hillary and Huma started. Anthony was a very strong Clinton supporter, even when everyone left her in 2008.

I suspect the Clintons set them up for convenience (to the Clintons). Bill Clinton even officiated the wedding.

1) Either this guy is so unhappy married to Huma, that he just chewed his leg off to get out of the trap.

2) It's a set-up to distract from her ties to her mother's Radical Islamic paper.

3) Weiner is desperate for money and wants to massage the royalties from the recently released Weiner documentary (assuming he gets some).

4) It's a set-up to make Huma look independent and sympathetic.

Weiner has only one way out of this fresh hell that he has created. Sadly he is not Japanese because his one realistic option will not be viewed as honorable.

Bleach Drinkers Curing Coronavirus Together म्हणाले...

Sad.

And totally stupid.

Not because it was really so wrong, per se. But because one small change could have totally remade his career.

If he'd taken the picture of himself holding the kid, shirtless, in jeans, instead of just in jockey shorts (which no guy should ever wear anyway), he would have totally transformed himself from an impulsive/slightly freaky or even perverted disgraced congressman into sexiest dad ever.

There is no way the majority of women aged 18 - 35 looking at an even slightly in-shape shirtless dad holding his three-year old son would not get turned on. He would have moistened vaginas from Arkansas to Idaho.

Hell, he could be holding a kitten, shirtless, and they'd get turned on.

Women expect themselves to have ways of sexualizing their parenthood. Men have to be a good bit more subtle about it. But it can be done. The sexy dad thing can be pulled off.

But this way was way too outre.

The only dads allowed to hold their own kid while wearing a loincloth these days would be from undiscovered tribes in the Amazon.

Everyone else in America would be violating the cultural standard and deemed one step away from outright pedophile or pervert.

One more article of clothing and he could have been the sexiest comeback congressional dad in America.

Stupid, stupid, stupid Anthony Weiner.

wildswan म्हणाले...

This ambitious, over-sexed guy gets child care duty while his wife does national politics out of town. How could that work? But he destroys all sympathy because he involves his child in his nap time adventures.

There's no career for him anymore, let alone any interesting thing he can do. So don't get your hopes up.

I'm sorry, but the apprehended subway flasher doesn't get career rehabilitation, and neither will this guy. There's just absolutely no reason to send disembodied dick pics - let alone with your kid in them. Women are allowed send disembodied sexual pics of themselves; guys can't. That's just how it goes. But now with the kid in the shot he took it even one way more unjustifiable step further. Adios, Carlos.

This was written in 2013, How Long Will Muslim Brotherhood Force Huma Abedin to Stay Married to Anthony Weiner?

"I believe Huma Abedin is a Muruna and that her marriage to the Rep. Anthony Weiner was planned and sanctioned by the Muslim Brotherhood. At the time, Weiner had high expectations of furthering his political career, possibly a run for senate seat once held by Hillary Clinton or even higher. Having a husband in the US Congress would be a great asset to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Then Weiner was disgraced and ended up resigning from Congress. If that was the end of his political career, it would seem that a divorce would have been proper, but for some reason, it wasn’t to be. This makes me wonder if Weiner’s run for mayor could have been prompted by the strong encouragement of his wife, Abedin. The Muslim Brotherhood has invested too much into Abedin’s marriage with Weiner to throw it down the tubes so soon, so he is being advised or pressured to run for office again.

If Weiner loses the mayoral election, then perhaps the Muslim Brotherhood will advise her to get a divorce and concentrate on her position as an advisor to the State Department. Abedin will still be a valuable asset to the Muslim Brotherhood, even without Weiner because of her relationship with Hillary Clinton. She was Clinton’s number one confidant while she was Secretary of State. If Hillary manages to win the presidential election in 2016, you can bet your bottom dollar that Abedin will be by her side in some key role, enabling her to pass many state secrets back to her Muslim Brotherhood family."

It's wacky, but a fun read. http://godfatherpolitics.com/how-long-will-muslim-brotherhood-force-huma-abedin-to-stay-married-to-anthony-weiner/

In other words once Carlos Danger's political viability is gone it's time for the jettison.

The whole thing could have been avoided if Huma hadn't been gallivanting around the country with Hillary Clinton, and instead had stayed home and taken care of her husband's needs. If you have a high-strung Chihuahua who's torn up your apartment a couple of times, you don't leave him alone for days at a time. Sure, horndogs are gonna horndog, but an attentive wife can sap his energy to the point where he won't be able to horndog with anyone else.

And by the way, can Huma pick 'em or what? Her boss is a corrupt, dishonest pathological liar, and her husband is an incorrigible pervy horndog. She's obviously a fine judge of human character.

Perhaps there's no comment from Laslo because Wiener has preemptively out-Laslo'd the Master. You know, at least since WJC's time, there's been a lot of excuses about "just sex" and "consenting adults" and similar crap but the fact is that, objectively, Wiener is just a slimy piece of shit.

The other reason the dick pics were stupid is because they don't prove anything. It's not like he sired dozens of kids with hundreds of women. His whole claim to fame was his balls.

He should have sent pictures of his balls.

For fuck's sake, I have to put up with asshole truck drivers who put big plastic hairy donkey balls hanging off the back of their ridiculous pick-up - and that's supposedly acceptable in this culture and send some type of message that's supposed to make me react in some other way than wanting to just bludgeon the guy.

I guess my point was that neither should be acceptable.

I have an ex (heavy emphasis on EX) girlfriend (Vallery) who, in the pre-internet days, used to exchange sexually explicit messages with strangers on a messaging board (execpc) we both belonged to. Drove me nuts; Couldn't get her to stop doing it. At one point, thinking she was privately chatting with a woman in Hawaii, she not only sent nude photos of herself, but she sent her home address so the woman in Hawaii could send back nudes of herself. Problem was, it was a public forum! Imagine that, sending nudes of yourself, and your home address, via a public forum. Every creep in the world now knew what she looked like and where she lived.

My point is, there are people in the world who have this problem, and not all of them are men. It's some form of addiction, as in they cannot control themselves while this behavior ruins their lives. They quite literally do not see that they are doing anything wrong, that it is all harmless fun. It's just words and pictures! And if you don't like it, stop looking!

After nine months, I finally had enough and dumped her, literally on the side of the road, in the middle of a Wisconsin winter. Good riddance to you Vallery, your self destructive behavior is not missed.

And a big fuck you to Anthony Weiner for reminding me of that horrible period in my life. Life is too damned short to waste it on crazy people.
