Allegations of Hillary's Ongoing Lesbian Affair Go Mainstream

The British newspaper The Times of London, owned by Ruport Murdoch, may just have thrown a big wrench into the dynamics of the race for the Presidency. The Times, in an article ostensibly meant to describe the dirty politics expected to be played out in the South Carolina primary, shines a light on all the mud floating just below the surface in our Presidential race. The article leads with the biggest piece of mud by far - rumor of yet another Clinton sex scandal. But it's Hillary, not Bill, twixt the legs of this one. The rumor is that she is having an ongoing lesbian affair with her personal assistant, the striking Ms. Huma Abedin, pictured above.

Ms. Clinton publicly denied being a lesbian during an interview in September. She was not asked about being a bisexual, nor about her relationship with Ms. Abedin.

This is the first time this rumor of Hillary's alleged ongoing lesbian affair has, to my knowledge, made it into the headlines of a mainstream paper. And now the Times article has been picked up by the Drudge Report as its banner headline, meaning that it will be widely publicized on this side of the pond. If you do not recall, it was Drudge that thrust the Bill Clinton / Monica Lewinsky scandal into the mainstream. Whether true or not, this rumor likely just got legs.

As to allegations that Hillary is bisexual, they have been in public for a long time. This from the book by Gennifer Flowers published in 1995, recalling a conversation she had with Bill Clinton:

“There’s something you need to know. I’ve been hearing tales around town that Hillary is having another thing with a woman.” I watched his face to see his reaction, and couldn’t believe it when he burst out laughing. I was stunned! I asked him what was so funny. “Honey,” he said, “she’s probably eaten more pussy than I have.”

Bill said he had known for a long time that Hillary was attracted to women, and it didn’t really bother him anymore. His first clue came from her lack of enjoyment of sex with him. She didn’t like to experiment and insisted on the missionary position and nothing else. Because she wasn’t enjoying herself; neither was he. Sex with her became a duty; nothing more.”

[Gennifer Flowers, Passion and Betrayal, p.42]

The new rumor that Hillary is having an ongoing affair with Huma Abedin has been in the blogosphere for the past month. This from a post at Atlas Shrugs

. . . This is from Michael Musto. I used to read him religiously when he was at Paper a zillion lifetimes ago -- his stuff is legit.

. . . And if anyone would know, wouldn’t it be the king - er, queen - of 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?

Do you sense there is some large mass of dark matter, an unseen Scandal Star, the gravitational pull of which is warping the coverage of what seems, on the surface, a pretty dull presidential race? I do. So does Ron Rosenbaum. I thought the Dark Star was the Edwards affair allegation. But Rosenbaum says "everyone in the elite Mainstream media" knows about another juicy scandal that the LAT is supposedly sitting on. I guess this is proof that I’m not in the elite, because I don’t know what he’s talking about. … My vestigial Limbaugh gland tells me it must involve a Democrat, or else the Times would have found a reason to print it. … P.S.: If it’s just Richardson, that will be very disappointing.

I’m placing my money on the lesbian-Hillary angle (I was the first to assert this publicly, Tues. 8 pm PST, with connection to the Ron Rosenbaum report).

. . . BigHeadDC posts a picture of "Abedin trailing Clinton and gay talk show host Ellen DeGeneres during a recent “girl’s only” trip to NYC."

From Wikipedia: "Abedin was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan to an Indian father and Pakistani mother, both Muslims. When she was 2 years old, the family relocated to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Abedin returned to the United States to attend George Washington University.[1]"

From BigHeadDC:

We’re still a bit incredulous on this one, but a top level U.S. Department of Justice official is telling Big Head DC that Michael Musto’s rumor about Hillary Clinton fooling around with one of her top female aides Huma Abedin is based in reality!

“I am close enough to Hillary and Huma to tell you that this ‘rumor’ is true,” the official says. “It is well known inside her campaign that Hillary and Huma are an item.

“If you call Hillary’s residence in DC first thing in the morning, Huma answers the phone,” the official continues. “Same thing late at night and on the road. It’s a closely guarded secret that Hillary’s inner circle guards at all costs."

Is the rumor true? It wouldn't surprise me. Should it matter. No, but it may if she makes it past the primaries. That said, since she has denied being a lesbian, if a DNA stained blue dress suddenly appears, all bets are off.
