Just when you think you might have seen it all in the personal-becomes-political part of this made-for-HBO presidential campaign, we get another Weinermobile sexting update. That would be Anthony Weiner, the disgraced former congressman from New York who’s married to Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton’s cling-on adviser for 20 years and the vice chairman of her presidential campaign. Yes, the couple are separating, but it’s still more bar-stool material for Donald Trump.
No you can’t make this sordid stuff up, but the truth, even of the political stripe, should not be stranger–and more deviant–than fiction.
