| No more Weiner for Huma Abedin |
| 2016-08-29 |
| [NBC] Hillary Clinton's longtime aide Huma Abedin will separate from her husband, disgraced former New York congressman Anthony Weiner, following a report in the New York Post suggesting he had fallen back into his sexting habit. "After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband," Abedin said in a statement. "Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy." The report in The Post, which included conversations and photos that the paper said Weiner swapped with a 40-something Trump supporter while his wife Abedin was on the campaign trail, was published Sunday. And on Monday morning, Weiner's public Twitter profile was gone. NBC News has not verified the reporting in The Post.

| #11 Acting out as his 'cry for attention' Steve? "I don't care what he does as long as it has nothing to do with me!"-Huma |

| #10 ...and maybe a sense of entitlement through connections that he thought allowed him to be above it all. Bill never had the technology to do selfies of himself. |

| #9 It’s easy to make fun of him. He's a putz. I've been happy to mock him. Huma gets no sympathy from me either. But in all seriousness: Anthony Weiner spent his adult life building a career, a marriage, a child, and a political reputation. He was going to be someone. A senator, a governor, mayor of New York, all of that with the trophy wife and the requisite one child. Power. Money. Fame. The inside track. Gone, all of it. Just gone. He threw it all away despite the repeated warnings, the repeated chances to change his ways, the repeated remonstrations both public and private from people who cared about him. He is his own worst enemy and has been from the first moment. He couldn't conquer his inner demon, and in the end, his inner demon has conquered him. |

| #8 Guess that all depends on how many psychopaths are out there. Probably lots & lots of 'em. |

| #7 Its a Clinton model marriage, except here they got caught with a live boy. I wonder how common the Clinton model is. Two people meet, one in politics and one a machine cog, may not even like each other, maybe one or both are queer as a three legged fish, but ambitious as all get-out and their career depends upon being married and having at least one child - especially the politician. |

| #5 The marriage seems to have been a marriage of convenience since his first scandal (possibly from the start for all I know). I think Zebulon and Tenille2425 is right, they kept it together until she needed sympathy and a distraction. |

| #3 Thereby conveniently deflecting attention and questions about her key role in access to Clinton and the pay for play scandal. Who says Weiner isn't supportive of his wife?? He's even willing to make a bigger fool of himself on her behalf. Or more precisely, because the Clintons are his only way to make a living now, as they've been for a long time. |

| #2 Drudge headline: She's Had Enough Weiner Interesting times indeed. |
