Politico Playbook Plays Hide the Weiner

This week we noticed that Politico Playbook by Mike Allen virtually ignored the scandal of Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.). To his credit, Allen is the type of Washington reporter who rarely misses a beat on any story much less the one dominating headlines. So we found it surprising that he basically bypassed the biggest story coming out of Washington this week.

We sought comment from Allen as to why he chose to keep his blog a mostly Weiner free zone and asked if anyone had requested that he keep Weiner and his wife out of his headlines.
