Morning Chatter

QUESTIONS OF THE HOUR: "Why does she forgive him? Why is it okay with her?" -- MSNBC's Mika Brzezinksi on "Morning Joe" today on Huma Abedein forgiving husband Anthony Weiner for his marital sexting dalliances. And Daily Beast's Tina Brown: "These guys have to keep themselves in check. What is the opposite of Viagra? ...I just think it's the disease of our times." GOODBYE OLD NPR 1.0: "I walk this way every day and have never seen this view - gbye NPR 1.0" -- WaPo's Jackie Kucinich. Journo's inner conflict involves Hooters "Conflicting email of the day: Invite to the 'annual Hooters Charity Golf Tournament in aid of the Autism Society of Northern Virginia.'" -- WaPo's Carlos Lozada. Journo says Weiner obsessed with penis (Um, redundant?) "NYC truly has rebounded from some tough times. I wonder which ones Anthony Weiner thinks are comparable to his obsession with his own penis." -- The Hill's Sam Baker. Reporter gets sucked into depths of YouTube "I go on YouTube to watch a clip from the Colbert Report. 6 hours later and I'm watching a tutorial on how to speak dolphin. #BlackHole" -- TWT's Jessica Chasmar. Confessional. "Been busy wasting time reporting and writing. What's going on here on the twizzlers?" -- Politico's Ben White. Amazing use of profanity "Morgan also reportedly called Olivia Nuzzi, a intern on Weiner’s mayoral campaign, a “bitch,” “twat,” and “cunt.” Nuzzi appeared on the cover of the Daily News Tuesday morning for a story she wrote about what she described as her less-than-desirable experience working for the Weiner campaign earlier this year." -- BuzzFeed story on Weiner spokesman calling ex-intern a number of choice names. Wishful thinking? "The best part is going to be Weiner firing his spox because of course you can't treat young women crudely and expect to work there." -- MSNBC political reporter Benjy Sarlin. AnonymASS to FBDC: "You guys suck, DCRTV rules!" Dear ASS (or Dave Hughes) whatever the case may be), I'm not just saying this, if Hughes is your hero you might want to get your head examined. We hope it's not a tumor. Politico Playbook Publish Time: 9:18 a.m.
