Former Anthony Weiner campaign intern Olivia Nuzzi penned a tell-all that was published today in the New York Daily News, but there really wasn’t that much to tell. With nude photos of Weiner’s wiener widely available on the Internet, how shocking is it really to hear that the mayoral wannabe seemingly thought all his female interns were named “Monica”?
Well, today will certainly be interesting. pic.twitter.com/OvwU0bNjDL

Nuzzi’s article was reportedly enough to set off Weiner’s communications director, Barbara Morgan, who in a phone call with liberal blog Talking Points Memo called Nuzzi a “bitch,” “slutbag” and worse.
EXCLUSIVE: Weiner flack calls former intern who penned tell-all a "slut," "bitch," "cunt," "twat," and "slutbag." http://t.co/7pIcNkzqmc

Not sure I even knew "slutbag" was a word. But apparently it is. Or is now. From Weiner aides rant at ex-intern http://t.co/QQ90W8jFbd

“I’m dealing with like stupid fucking interns who make it on to the cover of the Daily News even though they signed NDAs and/or they proceeded to trash me,” Morgan told TPM, referring to a non-disclosure agreement. “And by the way, I tried to fire her, but she begged to come back and I gave her a second chance.”
Morgan went on to suggest Nuzzi would be unable to get a job in New York City’s political scene as a result of her actions.
“Fucking slutbag. Nice fucking glamour shot on the cover of the Daily News. Man, see if you ever get a job in this town again,” said Morgan.
We’d expected better from Team Weiner — no, seriously, we did. We knew the guy lacked judgment, but what kind of campaign staff did he manage to put together?

Time for some damage control? The Weiner campaign staff must be getting really good at that.
