KIAH-TV, Houston, Online Dish columnJun 09, 2011 (KIAH-TV - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- Weinergate has become a political soap opera. The latest development is that Congressman Anthony Weiner's wife, Huma Abedin, is pregnant with their first baby. The New York Times reported that the 35-year-old is in the early stages of pregnancy, according to three people with knowledge of the situation. The pregnancy news broke the same day as another very graphic Weiner pic was leaked. Let's just say he was in the buff and "striking a pose". The new Weiner pic happened after conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart made the "mistake" of showing off the photo on his cell phone to a Sirius XM shock jock. Breitbart said he got it from Meagan Broussard, the single mother from Beaumont, Texas. Breitbart said he didn't want to leak it to everyone, but he was passing the phone around and the in-studio video camera was on. "Wasn't until @AndrewBreitbart left the studio that we realized what was captured on our video camera," Opie Tweeted. Seconds later, Weiner's business was on the web. Will this latest Weiner pic lead to a resignation or divorce? On Monday, Weiner said at his press conference where he claimed the pickle in the Twitpic that he has no intention of splitting with his wife. "My wife has known about some of these online relationships since before we were married," he said in addressing the matter. "But she did not know until this morning that I had not been truthful about the Twitter posting last week. I'm here primarily to express my apologies to my wife and family." And according to the Wall Street Journal the mom-to-be is staying by her Weiner. "Ms. Abedin has resolved to remain married to her husband, according to people familiar with the matter. 'I think people have been very deferential to her in terms of being a political spouse,' said a person close to the couple. 'She's not Mrs. Anthony Weiner. She's Huma Abedin. She's been known to many people for a very long time, and they've continued to respect her boundaries...This has been the first time she has encountered anything otherwise.'" According to the Journal, Abedin has been seeking advice from her boss and mentor, Secretary of State Hilary Clinton; someone that definitely has personal experience. What do you think about the little weenie on the way? Should Huma dump Weiner? Our viewers served up their thoughts on Facebook: Stephanie: "So now, we have to see a lil Weiner? I mean another one?
