You can't make this stuff up.

Beat me to it, I was going to say exactly the same thing.

Looks like Mario Cantone is going to have to wait for another opportunity to join Saturday Night Live.

You have to admit it, the orange one is setting records. This week he set the record for "shortest tenure for a WH communications director". He was fired two weeks before his official starting date: Aug 15. Now that is a record that could hold up for a long time.

He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity.

Kelly gets sworn in and moments later the Mooch is let loose. Coincidence? I think not.

Reince... Reince, here boy!

Regardless, The Kingdom Is Crumbling.

[MGMcAnick]

The only thing I can think to say is "Wow"!

Well, that, and he really needed to be gone already.

Joe, did you get another LBC?

Not Little British Car, Little Black Cat.

[Lord Jim]

I suspect this was a condition Kelly insisted on before taking the job...

Tough to try to bring focus and order to a place when you've got a rodeo clown running around tossing pies and squirting seltzer down people's pants...

Of course he still has to deal with the Rodeo Clown-In-Chief....

What's the over/under on Kelly? I make it some time in January.

Wait there's more!

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

Emily Heil, The Washington Post Published 12:40 pm, Monday, July 31, 2017


WASHINGTON - 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 Donald 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.

No MG. I just took a new photo of him for no particular reason. He does look a little like a kitten in the photo but he's 9 yrs old.

Now, back to the topic of the man who surely wishes he had 9 lives, Anthony Scaramucci....

[Lord Jim]

Priebus and Spicer both left (at least so far) on good terms and in a quiet and dignified way...

It will be interesting to see what Little Anthony has to say...

The Mooch doesn't generally do quiet and dignified....

[BoSoxGal]

Maybe he'll shut his trap and go spend time with his premie son.

[Scooter]

I'm guessing it will something in the nature of "I didn't take this job to suck Ron Kelly's dick on demand, so if that's what he wants, I'm gone."

[Lord Jim]

Gee, this ain't gonna sit well with The Donald:

EXCLUSIVE: Kelly called Comey to express anger over firing, sources say

Washington (CNN)New White House chief of staff John Kelly was so upset with how President Donald Trump handled the firing of FBI Director James Comey that Kelly called Comey afterward and said he was considering resigning, according to two sources familiar with a conversation between Kelly and Comey.

Both sources cautioned that it was unclear how serious Kelly, then the secretary of homeland security, was about resigning himself.

"John was angry and hurt by what he saw and the way (Comey) was treated," one of the sources said.
Comey learned of his dismissal on May 9 from televisions tuned to the news as he was addressing the workforce at the FBI office in Los Angeles, law enforcement sources said at the time. Comey made a joke about it to lighten the mood and called his office to get confirmation.

Comey, who took Kelly's call while traveling back from Los Angeles to Washington, responded to Kelly by telling him not to resign, one of the sources said.

The sources said Comey and Kelly are not close friends but that they had a professional relationship and a deep mutual respect for each other.

Comey declined to comment for this story. The White House and the Department of Homeland Security have not responded to requests for comment.

I said in some other venue that I give it about two months before Kelly quits or is fired. Because one of THE most important roles for the Chief of Staff, in trying to move the President's agenda forward, is to tell the President things that he does not want to hear, things that no one else would dare tell him. Unlike Preibus, I don't believe that Kelly would be shy about doing so, and I don't think that Trump will forgive him for it.
