Olivia Nuzzi (Twitter)
Anthony Weiner’s foulmouthed flack Tweeted a mea culpa today — posting a photo of ‘swear jar” crammed with $100 bills and a Visa credit card after she blasted a former campaign intern as a “slutbag” and a “c-nt.”
“Not my best day yesterday,” Morgan wrote in the Twitter post. “Should’ve know better, been better. Gotta pay up.”
The posting came after Morgan let loose an explicit, profanity-laced tirade against former Weiner intern Olivia Nuzzi, who wrote an article about her experience with the embattled campaign.

Weiner today said he is sticking with his potty-mouthed press secretary, telling reporters “You bet!” when asked if Morgan still had a job after her maniacal meltdown.
Morgan also issued a statement apologizing to Nuzzi.
Nuzzi – who has changed her Twitter ‘bio” to include the titles “Slutbag, tw-t and c-nt” — tweeted: “As to Barbara Morgan’s apology, of course I accept it.”
Morgan is unraveling under the pressure of Weiner’s campaign circus, several sources said.
“It’s a very tough job. Everyone who has ever worked for him understands the pressure she’s under,” a former Weiner staffer said of Morgan.
“Weiner is incredibly tightly wound and incredibly intense. He requires you to be exact in everything that you do. You have to always be under control in an environment that is not always under control.”
Morgan – who left a $105,000-a-year gig with the New Jersey Dept. of Education to work for Weiner — started coming unwound last week, after she and others in camp Carlos Danger were blindsided by news that their candidate had continued having cyber sex with random women more than a year after he resigned Congress in disgrace.
“The revelation really sent them reeling,’ said one source.
Last week, an incensed Morgan called Post reporters and editors and unleashed several expletive-laden rants on Weiner’s behalf. She later said her curse-filled diatribes were “off the record.”
Yesterday, Morgan called Nuzzi a fame-hungry “bitch” who “sucked” at her job in a rant to TPM, a political website. She went on to call Nuzzi a “f-cking tw-at.”
“F-cking slutbag. Man, see if you ever get a job in this town again,” Morgan railed.
