Weiner halal or Weiner haram? Who cares?

Not much to say today as I have been digging in the yard.

But I see that Huma Abedin — who became famous and I discussed repeatedly when she was Hillary Clinton’s “body person” — is in the news again.

The news that Anthony Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, is pregnant had been known and agonized over in newsrooms, including this one, for more than 24 hours before it was reported on Wednesday night.

It presented one of the toughest editorial dilemmas in recent memory. Abedin was an innocent victim in the story of her husband’s inappropriate behavior, and reporting her pregnancy – that of a 35-year-old woman in her first trimester – would have added the insult of invasion of medical privacy to the already considerable emotional injuries she’s sustained this week. Yet it was a big part of the biggest story of the moment. What’s an editor to do?

In some circles that might tend to discredit the old rumor that Huma was Hillary’s lover.

Not that I generally care what people do with their genitalia, but it seems that sex is the only thing that gets attention.

Hell, the last “humasexual scandal” even bored Coco!

    So what you’re saying is, Huma is Chelsea’s father and not Webb Hubbel?
