Weiner's communications director is... Amazing (strong sexist language warning)

Okay, so a woman named Olivia Nuzzi who used to work on Weiner's campaign writes an unflattering Daily News piece about the campaign.

So Weiner's communications director, Barbara Morgan, starts calling reporters to put the campaign's spin on Nuzzi's story.

She does this by telling reporters that Nuzzi is (all quotes here) a bitch, cunt, fucking twat, slutbag and that she sucked. And Morgan was not even providing the campaign's "slutbag" theory in the most well organized or coherant way...

“It’s all bullshit,” she said. “I mean, it’s such bullshit. She could fucking — fucking twat.”


“You know what? Fuck you, you little cunt. I’m not joking, I am going to sue her.”


Again, this is a campaign communications director seeking to put out a fire. These are not quotes someone overheard in a bar. This is her, in an official capacity, providing the Weiner campaign's take on Nuzzi, to reporters.

Anyone familiar with David Mamet will recognize the style.

Morgan has said she thought the conversations were off the record, and posted a picture of a swear-jar stuffed with $100 bills to show she was sorry. (See how cute that is? Awww... except they are slurs, not swears.)

Needless to say, Weiner is standing behind her 100%.

Worst. Campaign. Ever.

Why, oh why can't this be a Republican so we could savor it fully? It is political comedy gold.

Mamet is a wingnut, but he would probably fit in with Weiner. themaguffin Jul 2013 #3

As much as I love his plays, Mamet is the very definition of a modern major general ass. A prime example of why I've attempted to separate the art ffom the artist for so long.

New Yorkers needs to run their city.

The Weener Mobile should be the campaign bus. It would be full of clowns.

A reporter asked Weiner if he was still sexting. He dodges the question, then releases an ad where he says "Quit isn't the way we roll in New York City"

It's a band of buffoons.
