Admiration, puzzlement over Weiner's loyal wife
NEW YORK (AP) — When Huma Abedin first started getting media attention years ago, some people couldn't help but wonder what this beautiful, ambitious woman with high-fashion sense and a world-class Rolodex saw in Anthony Weiner.
That's a question New Yorkers might be asking themselves again after revelations that Weiner, now a candidate for mayor of New York, didn't immediately give up his habit of sending sexual pictures and messages to female fans after his humiliating resignation from Congress in 2011.
Abedin herself took a shot at an answer in an awkward joint news conference Tuesday, saying she had forgiven her husband and felt his marital indiscretions were "between us." She offered an even more basic explanation in a first-person essay in Harper's Bazaar due on newsstands in September.
"Quite simply, I love my husband, I love my city, and I believe in what he wants to do for the people of New York," she wrote.

Hillary stuck by her man and she seems to have done pretty well with that choice.

only involved him and his wife. It was a private matter between them and nobody else.
Nobody else.
It says that the other people that Weiner personally involved in their "marital indiscretions" don't count. Since they were involved, I infer that they're not really to be considered people, we don't have to worry our little beautiful minds about the non-people. It's a private matter and doesn't affect them.
Weiner and his wife are part of "we the people." The others aren't human being deserving of respect and with their own lives.
They are just objects.
They are merely women.
