- Anthony Weiner's wife Huma Abedin reportedly pregnant
Congressman engulfed in scandal over images sent over internet and his wife reportedly tell family of pregnancyHuma Abedin, the wife of the Democratic congressman Anthony Weiner, who is currently engulfed in a cringe-inducing scandal over sexually suggestive images of himself he sent over the internet, is reportedly pregnant with her first baby.According to the New York Times, the couple have told family and intimate friends that Abedin is pregnant.The news comes out just two days after Weiner, a rising star within the Democratic party, made a grovelling televised apology in which he admitted he had sent semi-clad photographs of himself to at least six different women, some of which had occurred after his marriage.The politician at first denied he had sent via Twitter a photograph of himself in his underpants. For a week he claimed that his account had been breached by a hacker.Even within a party sadly accustomed to sex scandals – the Democratic governor of New York Eliot Spitzer was forced to resign after it was revealed that he enlisted the services of prostitutes and the former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards is currently facing charges that he used campaign money to hush up an affair – the Weiner scandal has been excruciatingly embarrassing in its detail.Yet the New York representative has doggedly refused to resign. He is currently engaging in a round of calls apologising to top Democratic figures in an attempt to save his political career.Abedin is herself a prominent figure in Democratic politics. She has been a close aide to Hillary Clinton since the 2008 presidential nomination race and she continues to work for the secretary of state. As news of the pregnancy broke, the two women were in the air bound for north Africa on an official visit.Antho 議員は、伝え、現在彼は、インターネット上で送信される自身の性的な画像の上にちぇっ誘導事件の波に飲み込まれてpregnancyHuma Abedin、民主党議員アンソニーワイナーの妻の家族に伝えるインターネットと彼の妻を介して送信画。疑惑に包まれて伝えニューヨークタイムズ、カップルに彼女の最初のbaby.AccordingとAbedinはpregnant.Theニュースです家族と親しい友人ウェイナー、民主党内の新星わずか2日後に出てくる話して妊娠している放映grovellingを行ったその中で彼は、彼が最初に彼がTwitter経由で自分のパンツで自分の写真を送っていたが拒否されましたでいくつかの彼のmarriage.The政治家の後に発生していた少なくとも6つの別の女性に自分の半クラッド写真を送ったことを認め謝罪
- The Eliot Spitzer scandal's true victims | Melissa Ditmore
The New York attorney general was disgraced for hiring escorts, but never went to jail – unlike the sex workers he prosecutedEliot Spitzer was the attorney general and then governor of New York state. As attorney general, he prosecuted prostitution rings, as well as mafia dons and corrupt financial managers. In 2005, Spitzer, then attorney general, prosecuted owners and employees of the escort agency New York Confidential, sending top-rated escort-turned-author Natalie McLennan and artist-turned-booker Hulbert Waldroup to prison. As governor, Spitzer signed a law increasing penalties for clients of prostitutes (PDF). When it came out that he was himself a client, Spitzer resigned. He was not charged with any crime. CeeCee Suwal served six months and has a felony conviction for arranging Spitzer's meeting with the escort that led to his downfall. Each appears in a new documentary, Client 9: The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer, to be released across the US on 12 November, this week.One person who isn't interviewed, however, is Ashley Dupre. She was the escort Spitzer met in Washington, DC; after the scandal broke, she later became a NY Post columnist. Director Alex Gibney's visually beautiful film attempts to rehabilitate Spitzer's image. Dupre is slammed for her media appearances – seemingly because they inhibited a comeback for Spitzer. Her former boss, CeeCee, is far more generous, praising Dupre's ability to move ahead after her role in the scandal. Spitzer is a wealthy man with no criminal record who now hosts a CNN show. Gibney has misplaced his efforts attempting to vindicate Spitzer. Instead, those convicted felons – put away by Spitzer for so-called victimless crimes – are the people who really need the image overhaul now that they are out of jail.
