Wiener's wife is apparently in the early stages of pregnancy. She is traveling in Africa

[applegrove]

for Hillary Clinton right now (all according to Eliot Spitzer). Poor thing.

[virgogal]

1. The poor lady-------another humiliated female.

[George Wythe]

5. If Weiner were smart (I'm assuming he loves her) he would resign tomorrow

and surprise her in Africa the next day.

[yardwork]

23. I'm not sure how quitting his job is going to help with the baby.

In the world I live in it's generally considered a bad idea for the non-pregnant partner to quit just when there's a baby on the way.

Of course, it's also considered a bad idea for the non-pregnant partner to cheat, although it happens a lot. In many ways this is an old, sad story. The only thing remotely new about it is the technology.

[Canuckistanian]

2. How do you know what she's thinking?

For all we know, she knew and approved of this behaviour.

There are more things in heaven and earth......

[George Wythe]

3. For all "you" know...

Most of us live in the real world.

[Canuckistanian]

6. Oh really?

Do you know the intimate sexual details of EVERYONE?

You'd make a million on the blackmail alone.

12. Scruples are in the eye of the beholder

ESPECIALLY where consensual sex between adults is concerned.

[George Wythe]

16. Yeah, but they are not in the "eye of the beholder"

when you are advocating blackmail.

[Canuckistanian]

22. If nobody gives a shit, then there's no blackmail

It's the general public attitude that makes blackmail successful.

[George Wythe]

28. If nobody gave a shit, we would still defecate in public too.

[Canuckistanian]

30. Touche, i think

WTF are you talking about?

[JackRiddler]

34. Sex, shitting, flirting, sending pics on Twitter, "cheating," spouseswapping...

It's all the same don't you know? Bad, bad, bad! Feel the outrage. (You like the diss on our animal selves? People have always shat away from where they live, but never mind.)

We must all speculate about Weiner's wife today, don't you know? Orders from the purse-lipped undertitillated brigade have come down.

Fukushima?

An escalation of US violence in Yemen? Libya?

Debate about withdrawing more troops from Afghanistan?

Why are gas prices so high? Can we stop the assault on all non-military spending?

Huh?

THERE WAS A DICK ON THE NETWORK!!! We are all victimized by it.

[JackRiddler]

35. Please define "public" and then point to a historical period when it was the case that "we"...

ever did "defecate in public."

[JackRiddler]

33. Are you unable to accept different points of view and avoid ad hominems?

[CTyankee]

4. Oh, god, you have got to be kidding...I hope you are....

[Canuckistanian]

9. Do you deny the existence of wife-swapping?

Or open marriage? Or even spouses who are incredibly open-minded but stay with their partners anyway?

Is this outside your realm of possibility?

[cali]

11. so why did he apologize for hurting her? do tell.

[Canuckistanian]

14. Public consumption

Public relations for a prudish public.

Unless I hear an actual statement from his wife, I'll not make any assumptions about his "guilt".

[cali]

25. fuck guilt. it's the stupidity and the lying.

[Canuckistanian]

26. Yes, there is that

And it's perfectly understandable and laudable.

I save my wrath for those who are morally outraged at the sex angle ONLY.

[Maru Kitteh]

47. So you take him at his word, or imagine he is liying according to how it fits your schema

You presume an open marriage, because you prefer to. Evidence and reason discount your schema.

[wickerwoman]

13. I deny the statistically probability

of Weiner's wife being in the .000001% of people who don't mind details of their husbands' extra-marital carryings-on being splashed all over the headlines.

[Canuckistanian]

20. NOBODY likes having their private sexual practices made public

That's why it should remain PRIVATE. Panty-sniffing "journalists" are the problem here.

And I'm beginning to think it's all the "church ladies" on DU that enable them.

[CTyankee]

15. They are newlyweds. Is it outside of your realm of possibility that she might

want a faithful husband to be the father of her child?

Got a wild guess?

[Raine]

17. That is a very very small minority

possible ... yes, probable ... no

[seabeyond]

8. cause weiner said.... he told her he would stop, didnt and apologized for hurting her this time? nt

[Tx4obama]

46. Please post a link with a quote of Weiner saying he told her he'd stop.

The only thing that Anthony has said is that he talked to Huma about his online chats before they married.
There is NO quote where he says anything about telling her that he'd 'stop'.

18. I feel terribly for her. I hope she comes to a conclusion that is good for HER.

She simply has to look for what her best course of action is, both for herself and for her child. She may not be able to live with a child to be raised and a husband who refuses to be a rational and moral man. She might see that she faces a very tough road ahead with an emotionally disturbed husband. It can be daunting. Many women have faced this, unfortunately, and have decided no man is better than just any man. It might be better to get out of the relationship...

[applegrove]

19. In the Arena will have a story on Weiner's wife later on in the show.

[JackRiddler]

36. Whatever the "Arena" is, thank you for this vital service to all humanity!!! God bless you!!!

We must know more about Weiner's Wiener! We must pursue the all-important new angle of projecting our neuroses on to his wife.

I hope you're also covering some more Palin and Paul Revere.

Thank you for warding off the danger that Americans might have to talk about confusing and ominous things that actually affect their lives, especially the ones happening in countries they can't place on a map. At least people can find their own dick.

[TheKentuckian]

21. and????

Congratulations to her and best of luck.

[ClarkUSA]

24. "Bill and Hillary Clinton are reportedly “deeply unhappy” about Anthony Weiner’s behavior"

"Bill and Hillary Clinton are “deeply unhappy” with Anthony Weiner, friends tell The New York Times. Weiner’s wife Huma Abedin is a longtime top aide to Hillary Clinton, and Bill Clinton officiated at the couple’s 2010 wedding. But Weiner’s Twitter scandal has cast unwanted light on Abedin, which has displeased them."

http://news.yahoo.com/s/dailybeast/20110608/ts_dailybeast/14599_weinergatelatestclintonsunhappyaboutanthonyweinersexting

How ironic.

[seabeyond]

27. ha ha. see this si the result. how many years later and to hear bill "unhappy"

is a joke, though not surprising.

not to mention weiner giving bill a call for support

[ClarkUSA]

32. Yeah, really.

Birds of a feather, flocking together.

Just think, we'll have a few more months of these kind of revelations (and much worse, no doubt) via the House Ethics Committee investigation of Weiner, if he doesn't resign. Just imagine the testimony by Weiner's Women and the visual and sext evidence being leaked daily to the media by gleeful Republicans! Won't that be wonderful for the Democratic Party's messaging campaign as Pelosi tries to take back the House in 2012?

:sarcasm:

[JackRiddler]

38. Ironic? Huge hypocrisy.

His Epic Triviality, Bill the Clinton's greatest opportunity to change history and leave a worthy "legacy" came and went when he failed to say, "Any consensual sexual relations I may have with adults are not your business and should not be the subject of our political debates when there are so many other important things." Everything else he "did" was pretty much exactly what would have happened in those years under your typical intellectually cowardly politician, anyway.

[tnlefty]

40. Hahahahahahahahahahaha...

and a *snort*, Bill, really? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[RichGirl]

29. Would love to be a fly on the wall...

When the wife and Hillary talk about their husbands!! I'm sure statements like..."let's face it, men are walking talking dicks!" were said. Seriously, Hillary felt that inspite of his flaws, Bill was still the most interesting man she'd ever met. No sensible person judges someone they love by his weaknesses only. They are a whole package...hmm..so to speak.

[applegrove]

31. That is so true. I remember reading Hillary's book. And when she got to the part about

staying with Bill because their marriage had been one long fascinating discussion I really respected her for that.

[SmileyRose]

37. ROFL

"early stages of pregnancy"
"poor thing"

Don't know the woman in the least and never will. But I'd still put my money the "poor thing" making hash out of anyone who has the idiocy to call her that to her face. If she's strong enough to hang with Hillary, she's strong enough to handle the little twits who presume to know anything about her life and talk like pregnancy is a disease.

[applegrove]

39. I was thinking about how hard stress can be on a pregnancy. It can end it. That is just reality.

So she has all these balls in the air. And I imagine she also feels for her husband too. Not an easy place to be no matter how sophisticated she is. Don't know why you are so snarky?????

[SmileyRose]

41. No snark intended

Just kinda had it up to my whatziz with the "ALL women are victims" meme. I fully own my hardness on the matter and realize it's a little off putting to some.

Honestly, you might be right, she might be a poor little delicate thing who falls apart at the least hint of disappointment. But I can't imagine she'd be able to hold up to Hillary if she was. Let's face it, Hillary is tough enough to make even me look like sweetness and light.

[Angry Dragon]

42. You seem like a soft little bunny

:hi:


:hide:

[RB TexLa]

43. Poor thing? Because she could be pregnant or because she is working?

[applegrove]

44. Because she has to be in such a stressful situation. Would be a bad

thing no matter what her reproductive condition.

[Tx4obama]

45. So?

Huma is going to have a baby. WOMEN do work while pregnant.
Secretary Clinton's trip was planned long before the media went wild on Anthony.
Why the hell should Huma not continue to do her job working for Hillary as usual?
Huma has been Hillary's aide for MANY years, she always goes where Hillary goes.

For people that haven't heard: Women have careers independent of their spouses, this is 2011.
