I think the most important aspect of this story is: the wife of Anthony Weiner, Huma Abedin, is the top aide to former Secretary of State, and Presidential hopeful, Hillary Clinton. Like Clinton, she has overlooked much. And, some women, many of whom I have known, are willing to give certain marital assurances away in exchange for power, wealth, and or fame. Clinton, in those respects, has groomed Abedin well. But, this is pretty much routine for those who see the political sphere as their religion and route to the Divine. Abedin, a Muslim, is married to Weiner, a Jew: for both, mixed-marriages go against the strict tenets of their religion. But, for the most part, their religious upbringings are primarily cultural. For those in the same mind-set, nothing is as important as the pursuit of power; it’s the new cult.
