Incest Desk: The Weinerless Politico Mike Allen Edition

Today we bring you an unusual weekend edition of Incest Desk. Late yesterday we printed a story (“Politico Playbook Plays Hide the Weiner”) detailing the Weiner scarcity in Politico Playbook for the past week. Its author, Mike Allen, published two innocuous items on the scandal on two days when nothing big was happening. On the rest, he wrote zippo. We asked two questions by email: 1) Why did he ignore the story? 2) Did anyone ask that he not cover the story or lie low on it this week? He answered neither.
