It's not a new idea for politicians -- especially those truly narcissistic ones -- to allow documentary film makers to capture the behind-the-scenes magic we call "political campaigns". After all, what's better than watching a documentary of your big win, amirite?

Well, it seems that Hillary's "surrogate daughter" -- and occasional albatross -- Huma Abedin has a bit of a "Weiner" problem.

"In May 2013, Huma Abedin and Anthony D. Weiner allowed filmmakers full access to his mayoral campaign with the hopes that the result would document a spectacular political comeback, with Mr. Weiner being sworn in as mayor of New York having emerged from a scandal centered on explicit texting that forced him to resign from Congress.

Only one teeny, tiny problem. Antknee didn't exactly have a "spectacular political comeback".

If you're lucky enough to attend the Sundance Film Festival, make sure to buy an XXL popcorn and drink and witness the implosion of Antknee Weiner's dreams of Big City politics.

Hillary, Huma, and "Weiner": one of these things isn't like the others.

Looks "entertaining."
It'll be on Showtime in October.

"Documentary"?


Give it a laugh track and release it as a sitcom.

Did Huma Abedin personally attack you or something ? Or do you genuinly just dislike anyone connected to Hillary Clinton in general ?

I consider anyone in government not investigating Hillary to be a criminal co-conspirator by default.

It's getting harder and harder to defend your false gods, isn't it?

Yes, this will be the blockbuster that will finally convince voters to abandon Hillary, after all the previous attempts fail.

Agreed--only Hillary will put millions of right-wingers on suicide watch when she wins the GE. In that respect, she is unique.

The film overflows with juicy moments about Mr. Weiner. As the second scandal unfolds in July 2013, Mr. Weiner is shown panicking, misleading the news media and, at one point, racing through the back halls of a McDonald’s to avoid a woman with whom he traded inappropriate texts, whom his campaign code-named “Pineapple.”
Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

1. This thread is actually about the Campaign of Anthony Weiner, not Clinton.

2. Im not even a Hillary Clinton Supporter.


So, do you actually want to explain why it is the OP chose to attack a women he has never met and likely knows nothing about her other than the fact that she is married to a former congressman and worked for Hillary Clinton , so do you want to just sling hyperbole ?
