WeinerGate Twitter Hoax is Beginning to Unravel! I Told You Stupid Fucks!!!

The Weiner wife who refused to be Huma the Humiliated


The humiliated wife has long been a standard prop in the mea culpa phase of an American political scandal.

First the husband commits adultery with a prostitute, another man, an assistant, a lobbyist or a family friend. After he gets caught, he expresses contrition and the wife is somehow prevailed upon to stand mute at the press conference as he clings to his job or bows to the inevitable and resigns.

But Huma Abedin, wife of the disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner may have just rewritten the script. For more than a week, Weiner lied to his wife, colleagues and country about whether he had texted a photograph of his engorged member, restrained by a pair of grey Jockey briefs, to a 21-year-old student in Seattle.

On day nine of the scandal, when he appeared before the press to admit everything he could no longer deny (and no more), Abedin was nowhere to be seen. When he finally resigned last Thursday – day 21 – she decided to remain home at the couple’s apartment a few miles away.

In between these two appearances, the first one full of tearful apologies, the second one couched in defiant I-shall-return insistence, Weiner repeatedly cited his wife’s wishes as a reason why he should keep his job. The fact that she was almost three months pregnant was leaked.

Abedin, however, was no ordinary wife and this was no ordinary marriage. A longtime personal aide to Hillary Clinton, who regards Abedin as a “second daughter”, she was travelling in Africa with the Secretary of State while the third week of the scandal unfolded.

Conducting their Long Island wedding ceremony just over a year ago was President Bill Clinton, who described the marriage of the Jew from Brooklyn and the half-Indian, half-Pakistani orthodox Muslim who was brought up in Saudi Arabia as a vision of how “the future of the world” should be.

The joining together of the loudmouth liberal congressman, a cable television favourite who nursed ambitions to be New York mayor, and his discreet, stunningly beautiful bride represented the ultimate Washington power couple.

When she returned from her Africa trip on day 20, however, she made it clear to friends that she was disgusted by her husband’s behaviour and was unconcerned about whether or not he remained in Congress.

Having worked for Mrs Clinton in the White House during the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Abedin had decided not to follow the example of her boss. Back in 1992, when Mr Clinton stood accused of having a 12-year affair with Gennifer Flowers, Mrs Clinton had appeared beside her husband on television as he apologised for having “caused pain” in their marriage. Her insistence that she was not “some little woman standing by her man like Tammy Wynette” sounded like protesting too much.

By all accounts, the Clintons grew more and more livid about Weiner’s transgressions as his belated admission of “sexting” at least half a dozen women was followed by lurid revelations of an even more explicit photograph of Weiner, online assignations with a former porn star and virtual contact with a 17-year-old schoolgirl.

The fact that the congressman’s surname was a synonym for Vienna sausage and a certain part of the male anatomy was a bonanza for tabloid headline writers.

It could well be that a small band of conservatives calling themselves the #bornfreecrew, who had been monitoring Weiner’s twitter account for months and warning women of his predatory habits, prevented a serious crime being committed.

As Weiner’s career collapsed, his wife’s stature only grew. James Carville, Bill Clinton’s 1992 campaign manager, described her as “one of the most popular people in the Democratic party”. The feminist writer Ann Friedman even suggested she run for her husband’s vacant seat.

Having been accused at different time of being Mrs Clinton’s lesbian lover, a Saudi Arabian agent, a link to the Muslim Brotherhood, not to mention her ordeal over the past three weeks, Abedin is nothing if not battle-tested.

She has been featured in Vogue and is as charming and polished in private as her husband is abrasive and provocative in public. In the nearly two decades after she stood by her man, Mrs Clinton has carved out her own separate life and political career. All things considered, she remains the most likely first female American president as the 2016 election campaign comes into view.

Weiner may appear to have bought himself a one-way ticket to oblivion but in American politics a second act can never be ruled out. Within hours of his resignation, which was notably lacking in remorse or any sign that his undergoing “treatment” had been anything more than a ruse to buy time, the cable host Chris Matthews was praising him for showing dignity and a “measure of class”.

Whether or not Weiner can re-enter public life, the woman who refused to be Huma the Humiliated seems to have an assured future in politics. And in the process of making her silent stand, she has set a new benchmark for how an elected official’s wife should respond when her husband errs.

Iirc, Mark Sanford did his press conference of shame as a solo gig too.
 
Did I miss something?

From MeeMie's post:
"...and virtual contact with a 17-year-old schoolgirl..."

I thought all of his sexting was with adult women and that the contact with the 17-year-old was purely vanilla and part of a standard Twitter feed.

If that is correct, why is the reporter bringing this up to make it sound sordid when it's not? (Or I thought it was nothing.)

What did I miss ?

He sent her a photo of his freshly-waxed anus.
 
Would you want your 17 year old daughter communicating with Wiener online, given his now know history of sex texting?

The girl wrote a public post on her Twitter feed:

xxx:mad:RepWeiner I’m in love with you
13 Apr

xxx: Watchin @RepWeiner on cnn <3
13 Apr

xxx: Seriously talking to Representative Weiner from New York right now!
13 Apr

xxx: I love 69ing big hunt + love using honey mustard as lube. Ohh yeahh baby I love bdh weiner.
13 Apr​



When members of the group saw the girl’s post, suggesting she was engaging in a private conversation with Mr. Weiner, they alerted the congressman that they were watching him.
“@RepWeiner new pal is a high school girl/ First porn actresses now little girls?Weird.”


A Congressman communicating with a politically motivated girl is not necessarily a bad thing … IF the communication occurs publicly over Twitter. Conversely, if the communication occurs privately, over a series of DMs, then that is a definite bad thing.

Note that the girl’s family DID NOT KNOW that the girl and Weiner were sending private DMs back and forth; and were infuriated over that aspect of this story.

What were his replies? Or do we know?

He can't tell you that because he doesn't know and the police didn't find any impropriety between the girl and the congressman otherwise he would've been rapped for it by now, but it doesn't matter. All that matters here is that Weiner DID A VERY BAD THING BECAUSE THEY WERE BOTH ON TWITTER AND SINCE HE WAS SEXTING THE ADULT WOMEN THE INFERRED POTENTIAL POSSIBILITY OF HIM SEXTING THE 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL ON TWITTER IS A VERY BAD THING.

also, there's this story, although right now, it's kinda useless.

Fake Teenager Pursued Weiner on Twitter

Max Read — As if the tragic ballad of Anthony Weiner and Twitter couldn't get any weirder: Some unknown persons invented fake identities as high school girls on Twitter, and used those accounts in an effort to dig up dirt on Anthony Weiner—in the process fooling at least one journalist.
A few weeks ago, Mediaite columnist Tommy Christopher wrote a five-page column about two underage girls who'd apparently been in contact with Weiner, and had offered to share messages they'd exchanged with the congressman. According to Christopher, the two girls—whom he called "Betty" and "Veronica"—were being harassed by a group of Weiner-obsessed conservatives on Twitter, and "Veronica" had only offered them the DMs "as a means of getting attention" (which she wanted "for personal reasons I won't go into," Christopher wrote); the parents of "Betty" were, reportedly, livid, and in the column he included "Exclusive... Statements From The Underage Participants And Their Parents."

As it turned out, neither girl existed. Nor did the mother. Christopher, who had seen school IDs and a driver's license, believed that he'd verified the identities of the girls, and of Nikki Reid's mother. But, as New York Times reporter Jennifer Preston discovered when she checked with authorities in California, the driver's license was false; the address listed has no one named Reid in residence; and no one named Nikki Reed or Marianela Alicea is enrolled at Hollywood High, where the girls claimed to go to school.

The identity of the person, or people, behind the fake accounts, is still unknown. As Preston documents, "Nikki" spent a lot of time getting Weiner to contact her:

The @starchild111 Twitter account [Nikki Reid's account], which was deleted two weeks ago, was created in September. There were very few posts on the account until March, when the fictional Nikki Reid began posting comments about admiring Mr. Weiner, including:

"Tweeps my progressive idol @RepWeiner is following me. Today is the best day ever!"

"Today also marks day one of my campaign to get @RepWeiner to be my prom date."

"Will you be my prom date @RepWeiner."

"Everyone please please follow @RepWeiner and tell him to be my prom date."

In fact, "Nikki" went so far as to contact Genette Cordova, the woman to whom Weiner errantly Tweeted a picture of his underwear-covered junk, asking her for advice about getting Weiner as a Twitter follower.

Cordova, a journalism student, seems to have been the only person to realize that "Nikki" was not, in fact, in high school:

Ms. Cordova said that as she looked back on their exchanges, she saw other signs of a fraud. For example, "Nikki Reid" did not have a Facebook account, like most girls her age. And she made references to "The O.C.," the television show (featuring the young Hollywood actress Nikki Reed) that was popular among teenagers but ended in 2007.

"There is no way this girl is in high school," Ms. Cordova said. "No way."

Mediaite has since published an article, authored by columnist Colby Hall, attempting to explain what happened. Christopher was, according to Hall, doing "the yeoman's work of tireless reporting to get to the bottom of the story, motivated by telling the absolute truth," and as such remains unbowed. "Even in hindsight," he says, "the decision to run the story did not create harm, and did, in fact, prevent harm. As a journalist and a parent, I'm not sure what I would have done differently."

It's true, there weren't inappropriate texts between the 17-year-old and Weiner (as far as we know; sometimes cops release such statements to keep people from destroying potential evidence). But he also sent dick pictures to a 21-year-old, and plenty of dirty tak and pictures with other young women, and in fact seemed to follow (in the Twitter sense) young women for the specific purpose of talking dirty with them. If it remains true that he didn't cross any lines with the high schooler, I'd consider it a lucky break that he got caught before he could send any, rather than some vindicating indication of conscience.

The one that police investigated in Delaware turned out to be nothing. Pretty much just encouraging a kid who seemed interrested in politics. Investigation is closed.

Dunno about any other young'uns.
 
OK then. All of which is unproven.

And so including,

"...and virtual contact with a 17-year-old schoolgirl..."

in the article (from MeeMie) above is not accurate in that context and purely sensationalizing on the part of the author at the former Congressman's expense.

So sexting with adults is a gateway drug to sexting with minors? We should shut down the Lit forums immediately and consider it a lucky break that all the pervs here are stopped before they expand their salacious online behaviour to minors.

Amirite?

Oh, I agree. His stupid still stands, but that's what it all came down to, his being stupid. It's just kinda pathetic for the right wingerz to keep on milking this dried Weinergate titty for even more supposed comeuppance — this bullshit and his salary/pension nontroversy — because there's nothing else going on and something needs to be going on.

OK then. All of which is unproven.

You're a delight, Holly. :kiss:

MeeMie isn't to be taken seriously on any subject. I'm still not convinced he isn't a bot. Although the average bot is considerably more intelligent.

Nope. But as I pop-psychoanalyze him, in my fully unqualified opinion, he--with his full body wax and risky-slash-dumb ego-feeding behavior and week of clueless and obvious lies--would not at all have minded a 17-year-old girl being turned on by him.

Let's be honest: who would?

I agree, I think he's lucky he got busted before he crossed that line.

I think it was a matter of time.

Just to make it clear, I was referring to the article that MeeMie posted, not that I thought MeeMie was the author.
