Is That Big Brewing Scandal Everyone’s Been Talking About Hillary’s Lesbianism?

There’s been rumors flying all over the blogosphere today about some unseen “darkstar" political scandal that has yet to be made public.  It has been said that the LA Times, specifically, has been sitting on it.

People at the Times are claiming no knowledge of it, but there are people starting to make a pretty good case for what all this whispering is all about.

Apparently, the rumor is that Hillary Clinton is a lesbian and has been having an affair with long-time aid Huma Abedin.

I have two reactions to this, I guess.

First, the “Hillary is a lesbian” thing has been rumored since Bill first took office in 1992.  Which either means that this is yet another re-hashing of an old lie, or that there’s been some truth to those rumors all along.

Second, I wouldn’t really care if Hillary is a lesbian.  I already dislike her as a candidate because of her political views.  If she were conservative and a lesbian, I’d vote for her.  But there is a real issue here that a lot of voters could take seriously if these rumors are true.  The fact would be that her personal life is a lie, and that doesn’t speak terribly well for her character.

Of course, her something-less-than-honest character traits aren’t exactly headline news either given her and her husband’s problems with legal and ethical scandals their entire political careers.

Update: Some interesting info about Huma from the New York Observer:

She’s something of a mystery, even to the people who have worked in her proximity for years.

Very little is publicly known about her, which of course leaves plenty to talk about. And the rumors abound. According to various accounts from Huma acquaintances interviewed for this story: She’s Lebanese, she’s Jordanian, she’s Iranian, she’s 26, she’s 36, she has two children, she lives with the Clintons.

“No one knows anything about her,” said one political aide. “She’s like Hillary’s secret weapon.”

Doesn’t exactly make a person want to write all this off as a “vicious rumor” now does it?

To be fair to Hillary, though, how does a politician prove he/she isn’t gay?  Leak a sex video?

If it is well-believed that Hillary Clinton is a lesbian, and it is already known that her husband is a repeat-adulter, then it simply shows the sham that is their marriage and gives insight how she feels about “family”.

The story wouldn’t be so devastating because of her sexuality as much as it would the state of her marriage to Bill and how utterly dishonest it would prove to be…

I think Rob hates me… I mean, just look at the pic he took of me!

I guess I am just old fashioned and think that adultry is a major character flaw and therefore is news and relavent. Clinton demonstrated this in spades with all of his unethical and sleezy behavior. If your going to cheat on your spouse, you are probably going to cheat in other ways as well.

Questions regarding a candidate’s character isn’t so out of favor as you may have been led to believe by the media.  Of course, you probably won’t be supporting many Democrats…

There is more than enough legitimate reason to vote against Hillary… or any other Democrat candidate… on issues of public policy alone, without suggesting that her sexuality, or lack of it, is in any way a pertinent issue.

There is a large, vehemently anti-Clinton, radical segment of the Democrat party.  “Outing” her as a lesbian, true or not, is exactly the sort of slimy tactic one could expect from the far left, Soros-funded, DU/Moveon segment of the party.

Imagine what would happen if a Republican Senator was thought to be gay....Oh, wait; it’s already happened!
Can’t wait to see the radically different coverage on this about Hillary.

But the American People don’t hold Democrats to any level of morality. 

Remember, this is the party that favors sucking out the brains of a full-term baby while forcefully holding it inside the mother to keep it from being “murder” when that baby could have easily been born alive via C-section with no risk to the mother at all.

They refer to this as a “legitimate medical procedure” in much the same way that rape is a “legitimate act of love”.

Why should they care if Hillary is doing the family dog?

Why should they care if Hillary is doing the family dog?

Which one?

As atrocious as her characteristics are (and I believe they are), they are still the least concern of her political negatives.

Why should they care if Hillary is doing the family dog?

Because that is animal cruelty!

Coming next week on Say Anything… “This crazy hobo at the bus station told me Barack Obama used to be a gay porn star. I can’t say if there’s any proof to these rumors, but a lot of people are talking about it!”

Yes, Dave, but too many of these rumors about the Clintons have been found out to be true, and the 1992 campaign had a well financed “bimbo eruption” team to intimidate Bill’s former paramours into silence.  Sorry, but history indicates that we cannot a priori assume this to be false.

Not that it changes my opinion about the Clintons, either.  As others have noted, anyone who supports sucking the brains out of a live baby has just lost my vote.

That’s funny Dave because that’s EXACTLY how the left smears anyone they don’t like, including their own. Which is where I suspect this started - on the far left because Hillary is not radical enough for them.

Further, Dave, most people on this site don’t really care if she’a lesbian or not. I don’t care, that’s for sure. What they care about is the continual twisting and dodging that the Clintons are so well known for.

It’s a truth issue, not a sexual preference issue.

Or...it could simply be true.  It goes to potential bias, Pil, and the fact that Hillary would no longer be viewed as being in with the majority of Americans, who are not gay.

So… I guess Rob envies the Democrats so much he’s taken to copying their methods of smearing politicians?

Anna,

You meant to include BOTH animals, did you not?
