Weiner said that campaign manager Danny Kedem resigned after revelations came out last week that Weiner continued to send salacious messages online to women, even after resigning from Congress in 2011. “We knew this would be a tough campaign,” Weiner said while campaigning in Brooklyn. “We have an amazing staff, but this isn’t about the people working on the campaign. It’s about the people we’re campaigning for.” The tumult in Weiner’s staff was first reported byThe New York Times. Hours later, City Council Speaker Christine Quinn repeated criticism on NBC’s Meet the Press that Weiner has displayed “a pattern of reckless behavior, an inability to tell the truth and a real lack of maturity.”

Top Weiner Aide Slams Former Campaign Intern: “F*cking Slutbag,” F*ck You, You Little C*nt”… As if Weiner wasn’t toast enough. Via HuffPo: A top aide to New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner had harsh words for a former intern on Tuesday, calling the woman who wrote about her experience working on the former congressman’s campaign a “slutbag” who “sucked” at her job. In an interview with Talking Points Memo, Weiner communications director Barbara Morgan attacked Olivia Nuzzi, the former intern whose story on the campaign was published by the Daily News Tuesday. In the story, Nuzzi accuses Weiner of incorrectly calling several female interns by the name “Monica,” and claims that many interns joined the campaign with hopes of landing in the good graces of Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, a longtime aide to Hillary Clinton. In the interview with TPM’s Hunter Walker, Morgan lashed out at Nuzzi for taking her story to the press. “******* slutbag,” she said. “Nice ******* glamour shot on the cover of the Daily News. Man, see if you ever get a job in this town again.” Morgan denied many of Nuzzi’s claims in her Daily News piece, as well as additional accounts she published on the site NSFWCORP, including a story on multiple departures from the Weiner campaign. Walker reports: According to Morgan, Nuzzi stopped interning for the campaign “like four weeks ago.” Nuzzi’s story on NSFWCORP described her as having spent “four weeks” as a Weiner intern. When asked whether the claims in Nuzzi’s stories were true, Morgan suggested many of them were “********.” [...] Morgan also expressed disbelief that Nuzzi criticized her credentials. “And then like she had the ******* 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? **** you, you little cunt. I’m not joking, I am going to sue her.”
Weiner Hurls “Grandpa” Insult At Opponent While At AARP Forum Way to lose the vote of anyone who wasn’t already thoroughly disgusted with you. Via NY Post: At an AARP-Univision mayoral forum this morning, mayoral contender Anthony Weiner pulled out the age card to taunt his most vocal challengers, 69-year-old Doe Fund founder George McDonald. Weiner is 48. Before the debate, Weiner put a hand on McDonald’s back and said hello, prompting McDonald to reply: “I would appreciate if you would never touch me again.” Weiner retorted: “What are you going to do about it, grandpa?” according to two sources. The feud between the two has been simmering since last week. At a debate in Laurelton, Queens on Thursday, McDonald called Weiner a “self-pleasuring freak.” He said he was embarrassed to tell his 10-year-old granddaughter why Weiner was famous. Weiner replied then by calling McDonald a candidate “chirping at the fringes,” which only fanned the flame of the GOP candidate’s temper. But Weiner’s remarks today are sure to hurt him with older voters – votes he has been courting by campaigning at numerous senior centers.
Carlos Does New York: Weiner Being Filmed For Possible Documentary… Via WaTi: Anthony Weiner, the beleaguered sexting scandal-plagued New York City mayoral candidate, may be trying to boost his poll numbers with a new documentary about his campaign. The New York Post reported that MTV filmmaker Josh Kreigman — who also used to work as Mr. Weiner’s congressional district director — has been following the candidate around his campaign trail, filming and recording every step of the way. He rides with the candidate. Meanwhile, Mr. Weiner always carried a black microphone box in his back pocket, The Post said. Campaign officials are coy about the taping, saying only that it’s not for a television ad. Mr. Kriegman wouldn’t comment, either. But one observer who’s attended many of Mr. Weiner’s campaign events said the two have been tied at the hip lately.
