Anthony Scaramucci erroneously listed as dead in the new Harvard Law alumni directory

Spoiler

 

Pity poor Anthony Scaramucci: reportedly getting divorced, sacked from his job after a mere 10 days — and now there’s an erroneous report that he’s dead.

The blink-and-you-missed him former White House communications director is listed as deceased in the new Harvard Law School alumni directory, which arrived in alums’ mailboxes the very week that “The Mooch” became the most talked-about guy in all of politics. An asterisk by the 1989 graduate’s name indicates that he was reported dead since the last directory, which was published in 2011.

Unclear whether he was the victim of a prank — or just a typo. Harvard Law didn’t say, but the school was apparently crimson-faced over the flub. “Regrettably, there is an error in the Harvard Law School alumni directory in the listing for Anthony Scaramucci,” a spokeswoman told us in an emailed statement. “We offer our sincere apologies to Mr. Scaramucci. The error will be corrected in subsequent editions.”

Scaramucci did not immediately respond to a call seeking comment, but in fairness, his Monday afternoon had been a tad eventful.

He might be dead to Harvard Law, but in his oh-so-brief tenure as President Trump’s top spokesman, Scaramucci, 53, had often name-dropped the prestigious school. He told CNN’s Jake Tapper he wouldn’t have attended the now-infamous meeting with Russians claiming to have dirt on Hillary Clinton because of his law degree. Later in the same interview, he boasted about getting an A-minus in Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe’s constitutional law class.

Scaramucci is out per General Kelly's request.

Ok. So. Something just occurred to me. Hopefully soon I won’t have Bohemian Rhapsody stuck in my head thanks to this thread. :-D

[AmazonGrace]

I'm just a poor boy I need no sympathy because I'm easy come easy go...

Don’t get me wrong I fucking love Queen and that song but seriously make it stop! I’ve been singing it for days!

Sarah Huckabee Sanders is talking now, but not saying much.  At least she got a nice haircut.

Hair cut? Did she cut it for the Mooch only to have him walk out on her? Somebody take one for the team and report back.  I just don't think I can listen to her.

I have had the entire song from start to finish playing in my head for days, indeed an earworm out of the control.

 So, will Scaramucci be appearing on Hannity  tonight?

@JMarie, will you please do a recap if he shows up there? Thanks!

Back at the White House, Sarah and Kellyanne are sobbing and rending their clothes over the loss of Scaramucci.

Poor Sarah, packing away her unicorn/ hairy troll pens. Only a photograph to remind her of her glory day.

Kellyanne to damn bonkers to realise what's happened, just wandering around muttering fake news, fake news.. ( not quite the right emoji but nearest I could find).

So true!

I like George Takei's take: "Looks like Mooch ado about nothing".  He also published this:

Quote

Scaramucci was destined to crash

Buh-bye to obscene balderdash

For ten days he shone

Poor Mario Cantone!

In and out of that role in a dash

But he can't actually do them face to face himself!  # Tremendous coward.

The White House is in free fall.

Trump couldn't stand to have anybody be more disgusting than he is.

This is presented without comment (besides my apology for Queen being stuck in your head :p)

LOL - it'll be a while before the Mooch lives this one down

Anthony Scaramucci was reportedly escorted from the White House grounds within moments of confirmation that he had been removed by Donald Trump as Director of Communications.

As detailed by CBS News, the 53-year-old, who less than a week ago was threatening to fire everyone in the West Wing media department if he didn't get to the bottom of a rash of alleged leaks to the media, was walked from the White House complex and beyond its security perimeter.

The unceremonious removal of Mr Scaramucci from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue was a moment of exquisite humiliation that came in the wake of an astonishing display of hubris from a man who was brought into the White House to shake up its communications operations even though he arrived with zero experience in federal government.

You owe me a new keyboard. OMFG LOL.

I was also thinking of this skit from SNL:

 

Buh-bye, Mooch. We won't miss you.

[Cartmann99]

Bob Vander Plaats is happy:

Don't get cocky and start thinking you can control Trump, Bob. He didn't fire Scaramucci because of you and the other "family" groups. Also, it's a safe bet that Trump or his people will do more things that embarrass you in the future, so don't put the fainting couch in storage just yet.

[Palimpsest]

Kelly is going, going, gone.  It is just a matter of time.

[onekidanddone]

No matter how by-the-book and no matter how much military experience (Army? Navy?) Kelly has he won't be able to tame Trump.  Bet you dollars to doughnuts he never ran across anybody as unstable and crazy as the Orange Slime. He might just throw up his hands and walk.

Marine, I believe. 

But yeah, the chaos in the white house is not the rest of the staff, it is the TT himself. Sure, the staff feeds on the energy but they aren't the driving force.

That is such a sad thought.

Speaking as an Iowan, Bob VanderPlatts ought to go fuck himself in traffic.

I cannot stand that son of a bitch.  He is one of the worst things to come out of Iowa in 50 years. 

He whines about the mooch but doesn't give a fuck about Fuck Face's moral failings.

I didn't know we had this one and can't find myself.

Very Jhonen Vasquez. I love it. In fact, it's been the bright spot in an otherwise dreary day.
