Who is Huma Abedin?
2007-11-01
Huma Abedin is the daughter of an Indian Islamic scholar and a Pakistani mother, born in Kalamazoo Michigan but raised from the age of two in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. She's also Hillary Clinton's top aide with the title of "traveling chief of staff" and the subject of some recent internet rumormongering. Not that Rantburg would ever stoop so low. :-)

Why, Huma Abedin, of course.

#3  isn't it more troubling that Hillary's top aid is the daughter of an Islamic scholar that was raised in Saudi Arabia

No what is more troubling is finding the words Kalamazoo, Michigan and glamorous in the same sentance.

#1  Following the links there... this is going to be wild to watch...

look what's said in the Village Voice:

As I recently said on MONICA CROWLEY's radio show, whisper campaigns are claiming that HILLARY CLINTON is GAYLE KING–ing her aide de camp, the glamorous HUMA ABEDIN, an Indian/Pakistani goddess from Kalamazoo, Michigan. In other words, Hillary may be putting Huma out there in the press and purposely making her more visible as a pre-emptive strike that amounts to her hiding in plain sight. This way, no Republican can later say, "Who is this gorgeous babe who spends so much intimate time with Hillary that the Observer called her Hill's 'body person'? Was GENNIFER FLOWERS's book right about Hillary's sexual taste?" And does either of this couple have the balls to bottom?

Of course that whole scenario can't possibly be true, since Bill and Hill have been so lovey-dovey lately for the cameras, and besides, whenever he's been serviced by an intern—or by anyone—he's clearly been thinking of his wife. (They're that close.) But suddenly, Huma—a sort of Muslim SALMA HAYEK—has that spread in Vogue and the accompanying write-up notes that she "oversees every minute of Senator Clinton's day." Every single minute? Even Gayle King takes a break now and then! (PS: If I called for comment, Hillary's camp would surely say, "Just because two powerful women are closer than sardines doesn't make them dykes." And that's so true. Look at MATT and BEN. But now that Crowley has dubbed me the head of Huma Resources, I'm going to pursue this story with every cojone I've got.)
