Huma Abedin And Anthony Weiner Engaged

NEW YORK AP - Scratch Rep. Anthony Weiner's name from the list of Washington's eligible bachelors.

A spokeswoman for the New York Democrat said Sunday that he is engaged to Huma Abedin, a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The spokeswoman said the 44-year-old Weiner proposed to Abedin on May 23. No wedding date has been set.

Weiner ran for New York City mayor in 2005 and planned to run again this year. He backed away from the race in May, after billionaire incumbent Mayor Michael Bloomberg persuaded the City Council to change the city's term limits so he could seek a third term. Bloomberg is an independent.

Weiner represents parts of Brooklyn and Queens.

A marriage of convenience? Hillary continues to inspire her.

[wreckdiver]

You're absolutely right.

She continues to inspire your bitter, jealous, delusional fantasies.

Message from HillaryLand: warning, we sling insults when the truth hits close to home.

Wow I can't believe some of these awful comments. This is why there is no peace in the Middle East. Disgusting.

[brooklyncitizen]

he's not so hot.

[aliVonal]

Hey, a Muslim and a Jew marrying is the most beautiful thing imaginable.

[PoliticalAmazon]

Wow. I guess all those stories about Huma and Hillary being an item were wrong.

[hottingers]

He knew if he married within his faith he would never get a Huma.

[KCFreedom]

Her new married name will be the one Bart Simpson uses when he calls Moe's Tavern next time.

[jasev01]

Ha, true epic victory

[KnowzyRowzy]

She's a meanie....

[playsindirt]

I hope she re-thinks it. I wouldn't want to go through life with a name with Hum-a-Weiner.

[socialtalker]

oooohhhh LMAO!

hope she at least keeps her name, lol.

[KCFreedom]

I've got to hand it to Weiner, he knows how to get a Humma!

[marco01]

Cute'

I'm jealous.

[Tatiana]

No one outside NY has heard of these people

[Ronju01]

Wonder if this is part of Hillary Clinton's plan to resolve Mideast conflict - Weiner is Jewish and Huma Abedin is a Muslim !! Jon Stewart will be the best man in the wedding for sure.

[klondiker]

lol

[wdcvhi]

Actually, Stewart was Rep. Weiner's college roomate so there is a good chance that he will be the best man.

[klondiker]

No way! That is an interesting piece of trivia!

[GeorgeP922]

Thank god, hopefully this just pulls her away from politics once and for all.

She was bad for Hillary from start to finish.

Personally, I am sure this is the last we will see of her.

[coolHappyMax]

I hope not! I thought she was a refreshing breath of fresh(and beautiful) air.

[samuelberg]

Let's hope little weiner can stand up to the challenge.

[openlids]

some Weiners have all the luck.
