A friend of mine posted some revised “Bohemian Rhapsody” lyrics including “Scarmucci, Scaramucci, will you do the fandango/Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening…”. Now when I hear the guy’s name, guess what’s in my head? :smack: > [@QuickSilver](#): > > The next asshole is far worse in that he seems like he’s actually going to enjoy the shit that comes out of him. I had a giggle when I learned that Scaramucci has no communications experience, but has a background on Wall Street. His business background ensures that press briefings will be essentially fact-free. Big-business linguistic obfuscation will be the name of the game. “The President is interfacing with Republican leadership to drive actionable efforts to facilitate positive change as we move the earth forward to the future” will be the most comprehensible nonsense that is shared. (It hurt my head to write that. So. Much. Bullshit.) ---

He’s probably sitting on his deck, got the shades on, and having a few Manhattans or whatever his drink of choice may be.🆒 With John Boehner.

Each 45 flack has been special in his or her own way. Kellyanne Conway - **Alternative Facts**. An all time great. Topping Ron Ziegler’s “operative statement” gaffe. Leastwise, in my opinion. Sean Spicer - Nazis didn’t use poison gas, saying **covfefe** had a secret meaning among 45 insiders. Not up there with operative statement or alternative facts, but pretty damned “special”. Sarah Huckabee Sanders - Defended 45’s “bloody” Twitter attack on Mika Brzezinski. But not to worry, in this nutty White House milieu she’s bound to say something much crazier, probably sooner than later. ---

In a fit of “full tranparency”, Scaradouche [deletes his old tweets](http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/343227-anthony-scaramucci-deletes-old-tweets-bashing-trump-supporting-gun): > [@](#): > > “Full transparency: I’m deleting old tweets,” he wrote. “Past views evolved & shouldn’t be a distraction. I serve @POTUS agenda & that’s all that matters.” He might actually be more fun to torment than Spicer.
