The Cult of Huma

Very little is known publicly about Hillary Clinton's traveling chief of staff, Huma Abedin. This month's Vogue reportedly suggests she has been "close" to John Cusack and Lance Armstrong while others - perhaps inevitably - wonder just how close she is to HRC. Some on the right are concerned at her having been raised in the Saud terror entity. The best observation I have come across, however, is from comment at Gawker.

This is kind of a pointless thing to say but Huma Abedin looks a little bit like Tory, the president's aide in Battlestar Galactica, which is kind of awesome because the president on Battlestar Galactica is a woman, so now if Hillary wins I can pretend that I'm going to die in a nuclear holocaust. Assuming there hasn't been an actual nuclear holocaust before the election.

Eerie. So, which would be presidential nominees are most likely to be Cylons? It looks like a packed field.

Haven't watched BSG since season 2, but that is an odd little instance of life imitating art.

She needs a good steak or three judging by those arms, though.

Judging from her and from the race car driver, clearly the next target in the war on Terror must be the Saud entity.

Saudi women must be free to show the world their hotness.
