The TIMES of London starts ‘The Ugliest Month’ with a full page photo takeout on Hillary Clinton and her beautiful aide<\/a>. <\/p>\n

"Hillary Clinton has been accused of having an affair with Huma Abedin," reads the caption.<\/p>\n

The splash stunned British readers and angered campaign insiders. <\/p>\n

"This does not even qualify as tabloid trash… it’s ridiculous and reckless," a Hillary confidante explained over the weekend. <\/p>\n

Taking the whisper from the underground to the overground, the paper made no claims to knowing any truth of the relationship between Hillary and Huma, in its story headlined: "Snarls, smears and innuendo as attack dogs get ready for the fray."<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From the Times of London Nov. 22, 2007<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The anonymous e-mails and letters began dropping into inboxes and through front doors this summer.<\/p>\n

One claimed that Hillary Clinton was having a lesbian affair with Huma Abedin, her beautiful aide. Another online mass-mailing cautioned of the “dark secrets” of Mitt Romney’s Mormonism. A blogger claiming to support John McCain said that Rudy Giuliani’s wife supported the killing of “innocent puppies”. Flyers appeared on cars accusing Barack Obama of being a Muslim extremist. An anonymous website said that Fred Thompson was a corrupt playboy.<\/p>\n

Welcome to South Carolina, the foulest swamp of electoral dirty tricks in America. This state’s primary race has already become the sleaziest leg of the 2008 presidential campaign.<\/p>\n

Here, political operatives know only one way to win: take your opponent’s head off. The Palmetto State’s primary follows hard on the heels of Iowa and New Hampshire and is the candidates’ first foray into the Deep South. For Republicans, in particular, it is crucial: since South Carolina gained its first-in-the-South status in 1980, no Republican has received the party nomination without winning the state.<\/p>\n

…Nobody is sure who is behind the attacks on Mrs Clinton and Mr Obama, but the claims of lesbianism and Islamic extremism have found fertile ground on right-wing websites. Mr Obama, a Christian, was forced to deny the rumours at a campaign event on November 9.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

From Postman Patel<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Ms Huma Abedin was born in Kalamazoo,Mich in 1975 where she lived for a couple of years. Her family then relocated to sunny Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where she lived the life of a good Wahabi muslim girl. She returned to the States and attended George Washington University. Her father, who died when she was 17, was an Islamic and Middle Eastern scholar of Indian descent. He founded his own institute devoted to Western-Eastern and interfaith understanding and reconciliation and published a journal focusing on Muslim minorities living in the diaspora. Her mother, a renowned professor in Saudi Arabia, is Pakistani.<\/p>\n

Ms. Abedin recently (June 2006) bought an apartment in the vicinity of 12th and U streets in Washington, D.C. say US$700,000 … But hey her salary records <\/a>show she earns US$9,999 as "senior Advisor" to Hillary Rodham Clinton.<\/p>\n

Ms. Abedin began working for Mrs. Clinton<\/strong> as an intern for the then First Lady in 1996. She was hired as a staff assistant to the First Lady’s chief of staff, Maggie Williams. For several years, she was the backup to Mrs. Clinton’s permanent personal aide, Allison Stein, and she officially took over as Mrs. Clinton’s aide and advisor around the time of the 2000 Senate race.<\/p>\n

Her Presidential campaign title is "travelling chief of staff"… America Radio Networks have detailed 29 trips she took with HRC at a total declared cost of US$49,870.97 .\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
