My sole post on the Weiner scandal

Not unrelated to the privacy in the global village stuff I was talking about earlier today, one of the things we can all do now is see the inside of the condo owned by Anthony Weiner and Huma Abedin.  This is one of the featured photos:



Those embroidered cushions are presumably for Huma and Anthony but I immediately thought, how convenient that it also works for Huma Abedin, so she can divorce him and not have to get rid of the cushions.

More seriously, the context shifts in interesting ways don't you think. They agreed to have these photos put online to help sell their condo not to have guys like me make snide remarks on their embroidered pillows. All it took was a little cross-referencing though, and it's all out in public.


PS: the 850 square foot condo was listed for $449 K. After hearing for years now about how awful the New York real estate market is, that doesn't strike me as all that bad.
