Weiner Comm Director Speaks Candidly

It was explained to me when I was much younger that politicians used communications directors to articulate a candidate's or office holder's convictions and sentiments in succinct, diplomatic, and polite prose as politicians are often given to verbosity, inanity, and profanity. A communications director is a politician's chief diplomat and intermediary to the media. He or she knows how to talk to people. Here's Anthony Weiner's communications director, Barbara Morgan, commenting on a former intern with the Weiner campaign, Olivia Nuzzi.
“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.”
Had Weiner spoken on the subject he may have said something offensive or inappropriate but Morgan wasn't done yet.
“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.”
What a master of the vernacular!
I wonder how Morgan would respond to Weiner's old friend Sydney Leathers' comment to Howard Sterns that Weiner was “a little too busy jacking off to do anything for the city.”
