Huma Abedin and Alex Soros are getting married today.
Just a recap, in case you don't remember who any of these people are:
Huma was a top aid to Hillary Clinton and was married to, presumably what she hoped and thought was, an up-and-coming politician. It all went down in flames when the politician, Congressman Anthony Weiner became mired in scandal for actions similar to the kinds of things Bill Clinton did and got-away with. Weiner, unlike Bill, did not get away with it and spent time in prison after his conviction. The parallel to the Hillary-Bill relationship is obvious. One might speculate on who was the more fortunate: Bill or Anthony: Bill got to be president and never went to prison, but on the other hand, Huma is actually beautiful and Hillary has never been, at her peak, better than lower-mid. I don't know how charming Abedin is, but it's hard to imagine her being as off-putting as Hillary. So, I rate the luck of the two men as a tie.
Alex Soros is the son of the famous billionaire and is also a billionaire. The parallel I see here, is that of Jackie O. The widow of a US president, marries a billionaire and ensures that she has the kind of lifestyle she's become accustomed to. One twist: Jackie was younger than her new husband and as the wife of a glamorous former US president, she brought him enormous prestige. Huma, carries some mixture of prestige, her close association with powerful people, but she is older and was humiliated by her former husband. Perhaps, given Soros' age and ambition, Huma won't be a bauble like Jackie, she will propel him to power.
Time will tell.
