Anthony Weiner’s spokeswoman, Barbara Morgan, issued an apology tonight after a profanity-laced interview with Talking Points Memo, in which she described a former campaign intern as a fame hungry “bitch” and “slutbag” who “sucked” at her job.
Ms. Morgan’s tirade came following a piece in the Daily News today, in which the former intern, Olivia Nuzzi, panned the campaign, reporting that many staffers had only joined to curry favor with Mr. Weiner’s wife, Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin. She’d also dissed Ms. Morgan and other staffers’ “short résumés.” Mr. Weiner, of course, is running for mayor and has been dogged by a new sexting scandal since last week.
Ms. Nuzzi declined to comment on Ms. Morgan’s comments or apology, but changed her description on Twitter to read, “Slutbag, twat and **nt. Writer for NSFWCORP.” Politicker has reached out to TPM for comment and will update when we receive a response.
Disclosure: The TPM reporter who broke the story, Hunter Walker, formerly worked for The New York Observer.

Shrinkage, my friends, shrinkage.
Seriously though, good on her for apologizing at least. The ships sinking, get your jabs in while you can.
Can the Weiner campaign sink any lower? (based on Weiner's track record, one would have to say yes).
It's rather amazing the guy can still get some people behind him
Even Hitler had his loyal followers. Never underestimate the numbers of scumbags out there.
At least Hitler seemed competent in what he was doing. This is like drunken amateur hour.

I don't think you need to worry if this guy will ever hold political office again. He's entitled to run, but then again, so am I.
Weiner is to Democrats what Palin is to Republicans. A non-starter that gets far more attention than necessary.

Palin doesn't seem to engage in public virtual sex, however.
This is a poor comparison. I hope you don't repeat it in real life among those who respect your opinion.

Standard Republican tactic: just accuse the other side of doing what you're doing every day.
