1. This campaign is misogyny central/so special

Read the full quotes. Another person with a serious problem.

[arely staircase]

2. oh yeah slutbag was the least offensive word used

And I think it was actually female aid.

[cherokeeprogressive]

10. Barbara Morgan is Weiner's Communications Director.

“Fucking slutbag," she said. "Nice fucking glamour shot on the cover of the Daily News. Man, see if you ever get a job in this town again."

(snip)

"And then like she had the fucking balls to like trash me in the paper. And be like, ‘His communications director was last the press secretary of the Department of Education in New Jersey,” Morgan said. “You know what? Fuck you, you little cunt. I’m not joking, I am going to sue her.”

Were she a he, what're the odds her head would be called for, here and other places? This might be the worst thing I've ever read one woman calling another.

She says she apologized. She's sorry it was made public, not that she said it in the first place.

[Hotler]

32. That's a f*&king awesome rant.......

Best laugh I've had in weeks. Everytime I read it I crack up.

[BainsBane]

47. I can have a bit of a foul mouth myself

but NOTHING like that. Wow.

[sweetloukillbot]

48. Is she from Delta Gamma at University of Maryland?

[BainsBane]

61. She's a graduate of the Chris Christie charm school

[msanthrope]

70. Morgan Freeman reading said letter....

[Hotler]

38. I was wondering ...........

where on the scale of slut would slutbag fall??? Is slutbag at the top or is there more room for more slutishness further up???? I'm thinking slut-whore/whore-slut is higher up the slut scale. Just saying.

[Buns_of_Fire]

55. I think we need a government-sponsored study to determine this.

I can do it for $225,000 (with $50,000 earmarked for whichever congresscritter will help me get the contract). Cross-referenced, linked, annotated, printed, bound, and completely ready for storage along with Indiana Jones' Lost Ark in whatever warehouse they're using these days.

[MADem]

14. The person doing the complaining, though, is a woman!!!!

According to the New York Observer's Jill Colvin, Morgan believed her colorful remarks to Walker were off the record.....

And those remarks are certainly colorful!!!

Try saying some of that stuff here, and there'd be Hides-a-Plenty!!!!!!!!!

[BeyondGeography]

17. I know...I had to amend my post

I read the quotes and automatically concluded it couldn't be a woman. I've heard guys talk like that; women not so much.

[MADem]

20. I've heard that kind of language from young women in and around the subway on occasion.

College and right-out-of-college types; usually when they're mad, and often on the phone. It does kind of set one back on one's heels.

I imagine there will come a day when we're all used to it. I'm in no hurry for that day...!

[arely staircase]

19. she even dropped the C bomb

That would result in revoked posting privileges. Hell I didn't put in in the OPfor fear of an alert.

[MADem]

21. Good thing it wasn't Fleet Week, she'd have the Sailors blushing!!! nt

[BainsBane]

29. Women are perfectly capable of misogyny

[hrmjustin]

3. He is going downhill fast. I am not voting for him.

[arely staircase]

5. he would have made a good mayor

if it weren't for his hobby/addiction. If I lived there I wouldvhave voted for him if Weinergate II hadn't broken. Who do you like now, justin?

[BainsBane]

30. Anyone who has that much trouble

with his own wiener can't run a city.

[Pale Blue Dot]

44. No, he wouldn't have

He has made it obvious, over and over again, that his only concern is for himself.

[SwampG8r]

4. i used to call

my wedding tackle mr happy but I recently renamed the appropriate part anthony

[petronius]

6. If you are the communications director for an embattled campaign, you probably

ought to know the difference between 'on the record' and 'off the record.' Better yet, you should know better than to ever engage in a vicious back-biting snarkfest with an interlocutor for whom 'on the record' is ever even a possibility. Save the angry gossip for your apolitical non-journalist ultra-trustworthy bestie back home...

Good stuff, though!

[geek tragedy]

7. Weiner has the campaign staff he deserves. nt

[frylock]

8. and this woman is danger's communications director!

[KittyWampus]

11. she certainly communicated -

[arely staircase]

12. communicated pretty clealry

There is no doubt how she feels about Nuzzi. No ambiguity whatsoever.

[JVS]

18. She seems to be a real straight shooter.

She should be a bigger part of the campaign.

[TeeYiYi]

24. .

TYY

[MADem]

45. She's on the .... PHONE! Hope she's not, errrr, checkin' her tweets! nt

[PowerToThePeople]

9. Wow, Barbara Morgan just killed it.

If this is true, she is just as done as she claims the intern is. When are we going to get decent people in government? Oh ya, when we get all the money out of it...

[PoliticAverse]

13. Once again his staff damages his campaign... n/t

[MADem]

15. Nyuck nyuck!!! That was a very clever comment! nt

[arely staircase]

16. thigh rod and thigh staff

they text me.

[Tarheel_Dem]

51. !!!

[eridani]

60. OK--you win the thread. DUzy! n/t

[Jesus Malverde]

69. wooshed right over me. Nice wordplay..nt

[flamingdem]

22. slutbag is harsh!

Maybe it's worth remembering it to be able to offend NY style.

[NuclearDem]

23. I think Adam & Eve sells "weiner aides"

[frazzled]

25. Can you imagine what kind of zoo a Weiner administration would be like?

I mean, if the freaking communications director "communicates" to the press in this way, I can only imagine what kind of circus the rest of the staff would be.

This is like watching the Titanic go down in slow motion. What possible motive could Weiner have for continuing on in this race? It's impossible for him to win, and rather than resuscitating his reputation (which I assume was one of the objects), it's killing it forever.

[madville]

26. Women can be brutal about one another

I've worked with women in civilian, military, and law enforcement settings, they can certainly speak their mind and make this male blush. They are usually especially harsh on their own gender.

[Nye Bevan]

41. Anyone who has overheard female coworkers discussing another female coworker,

or female coworkers discussing their female boss, will testify to this absolute verbal brutality.

[Drunken Irishman]

27. This campaign is self destructing worse than Mitt Romney's did last year.

[BainsBane]

28. That should help with the women's vote

That entire campaign is a sideshow. It sounds like this staffer is perfectly suited to work for Weiner.

[Sheldon Cooper]

65. Yep. Calling another woman a slutbag and a c**t is always a good strategy

for drawing in the women's vote. And what a charming woman she is - just the person I'd want in charge of communications for MY campaign.

[BainsBane]

31. Elliot Spitzer thanks Anthony Weiner

for making him look like a class act. This should be lesson number 1 in how NOT to make an attempt at a comeback.

[flamingdem]

39. He makes Spitzer look squeaky clean by comparison

and I'm glad about that. I think Spitzer has more to offer as a pol.

[BainsBane]

40. and not nearly so pathetic

at least Spitzer got some real sex out of his scandal. Weiner is just sad.

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

33. "Like, four weeks ago"

Great campaign spokesperson, Anthony....what are HER qualifications?

[Pelican]

34. How about a paragraph or two so we don't have to play "follow the link"

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

35. I'm pretty sure you'd get TOS'D for doing so!

I'm serious, it's THAT out of control.

[Pelican]

37. Oh I read it...

It's beyond a train wreck in slow motion...

This is Hiroshima in slow motion after the bomb has dropped as the ever expanding ring of doom expands ever outward...

On a related note.. I am shocked.. just shocked that a man with amazing decision making skills like Weiner would pick someone so poorly suited to be a communications director.

Oh wait... not I'm not.

[cherokeeprogressive]

57. its a pain in the ass with my phone

Sorry

[Pelican]

59. Fair enough...

Still an interesting article....

Cheers...

[DonCoquixote]

42. If this idiot becomes Mayor

It will help mark the decline of a once great city.

[KinMd]

43. New York will somehow survive not having Anthony Wiener aa mayor

[MADem]

46. Everyone talked this guy up, but no one can name any legislation he cosponsored!

I get the impression that he was a grand gasbag--he did great railing on television, but when it came to actual "work," he skee daddled....

No wonder his former colleagues in Congress are doing the "avert the eyes" and "run away when ya see him coming" routines.

[MelungeonWoman]

49. Barbara Morgan is an untapped talent.

Weiner needs to toss all questions pertaining to his current sexting activities to her.

[Dreamer Tatum]

50. Weiner is probably tapping her, rest assured. nt

[Warpy]

52. Well, boo hiss

She is now out of a job. I suppose she's allowed some sour grapes.

What she said is nothing compared to the sheer poetry I achieve when crossed. I pity her more for the poverty of her speech than her choice of words.

[BainsBane]

62. "Communications director"

You can't make this stuff up. You know the SNL writers are really pissed off this is happening during their hiatus.

[Warpy]

67. I know, right? You'd think she'd know more expletives than that

I knew a lot worse language than that in grade school.

Then again, my dad was a world champion cusser, a skill honed every time the automatic stoker on a coal furnace would jam in the middle of the night.

[MFM008]

53. can you imagion

Weiner as Mayor in a 911 type disaster? Gulliani was bad enough.... The guy makes me ill to look at him.

[longship]

54. Buh-Bye Anthony Weiner.

He's burnt toast.

[Are_grits_groceries]

56. With all the "likes" in her statement,

she sounded like a Valley Girl on the stroll.

Like can Weiner like get like a better like communications like director? Like?

[arely staircase]

58. i found that to be the like really annoying thing about her nt

[MadrasT]

64. That's like, more offensive to me than, like, the cussing.

[cali]

63. Would someone please, please put the Weiner campaign down

and out of its misery and ours.

[PoliticAverse]

66. I suspect the voters will be doing that September 10th. n/t

[cali]

68. yeah, but in the meantime, all the oxygen is getting sucked out of the race.
