Serena Dai's interactive feature on Huma Abedin's alleged "connections" to the Muslim Brotherhood got commenters wondering about all the flimsy connections one can draw between unrelated people. Invoking the popular movie trivia game, rick jones writes: 

Shouldn't Kevin Bacon be in there somewhere?

Challenge accepted, rick jones. Huma Abedin works for Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton is widely believed to be the real-life basis for Sigourney Weaver's character in the new TV mini series Political Animals. Sigourney Weaver was in Aliens with Bill Paxton. Bill Paxton was in Apollo 13 alongside Kevin Bacon. 

Boom.
