What is Bill Clinton’s worst nightmare? When the Victoria’s Secret show gets interrupted by a Viagra ad.
This story has nothing to do with that.
Hillary Clinton has a “secret deal” with her top aide Huma Abedin to keep Abedin’s troublesome husband, Anthony Weiner, out of the spotlight, sources tell Page Six, as the former secretary of state mulls a run for president.
Clinton aides have insisted Weiner “stay out of public life for two years” and that he “avoid causing any further embarrassment to Huma or Clinton,” according to our sources.
The former sexting pol has been noticeably absent at recent public events attended by Abedin, including the Gordon Parks Foundation Awards Dinner in Manhattan earlier this month. Nor has he appeared at the recent plethora of New York galas and awards dinners attended by the Clintons, such as the Wildlife Conservation Society Gala on June 12 and the Carnegie Hall Medal of Excellence Gala on April 24.
Huma Abedin has been out and about, though. That’s her in Jason Mattera’s ambush video, flitting around Hillary*. I checked with Jason — that’s her.
See, Bill O’Reilly — journalism! Huma’s constant presence near Hillary, plus Weiner’s Twitter silence (well, almost) suggest that a deal has been struck.
Ok, to recap my day. I accidentally hit the star thingy on a @voxdotcom story about Tinder. Sorry.

Huma still has her work cut out for her.
So does Hillary, come to think of it.
And so does Bill.
*I originally had the wrong woman identified as Huma. That has been corrected with the annotated graphic.
