Huma Abdein and Anthony Weiner Engaged!

Sorry, ladies: He's officially taken.

And sorry fellas: So is she.

After years as one of Washington's most eligible bachelors, Representative Anthony Weiner finally popped the question to Huma Abedin.

Now we all know Huma. Hillary's right hand woman. Her most trusted and loyal confidant. The woman whose job most of us would give our first born for...

If you don't know her, Abedin was born in Michigan to a Pakistani mother and an Indian father. She grew up in Saudi Arabia and attended college in the United States.

She interned in the First Lady's office in 1996. Abedin was then hired as a staff assistant to the First Lady’s chief of staff, Maggie Williams. For several years, she was the backup to Mrs. Clinton’s permanent personal aide, Allison Stein, and she officially took over as Mrs. Clinton’s aide and advisor around the time of the 2000 Senate race. During Clinton's Presidential campaign her title was “traveling chief of staff.” Now she is employed by the State Department as.... hmm, not sure of her official title actually.

She has been described by admirers as maintaining both her flawless couture and her calm in the throes of Clinton's presidential campaign. Much is unknown about her and I think many are infactuated by this mystery woman. Just take a look at this old story from the New York Observer.

Anyways, back to the news at hand... Its been reported that Weiner, 44, proposed to Abedin, 33, over Memorial Day weekend and although no date has been set, the couple is "thrilled" about the upcoming nuptials.

All I seem to care about is will this effect our Secretary of State and if Huma's position opens, where can I apply? Seriously, just look at that photo above... I. want. that. job.

Though I've seen Huma countless times in her professional role with Hillary, I'll never forget seeing her out "after work" during the campaign one time.
We were both at the same bar, and she was laughing her ass off with a few friends, and having fun.
At the time, it really did my heart good to witness that.
