“I’m not Steve Bannon, I’m not going to just blow off … the birth of my child!”
FiveThirtyEight makes a good point that while this seems like another moment of insanity that the guy would last for such a short time, it’s actually the firs time that one of Trump’s people said something crazy on the air and was immediately removed for having done so - as one would usually expect in a sane world.
Unfortunately, William Harrison has retained his record.
I dunno. I think the Mooch’s real crime was upstaging Trump. Breitbart ran a big article on “The Scaramucci Show” - and I’m sure that was a move by Bannon, and I’m sure Bannon made sure that Trump saw it.
A couple of parting thoughts about the Mooch
Was anyone else totally creeped out by the homoerotic overtones of the Mooch’s rant? Accusing Preibus of “cock blocking”. Saying Bannon was sucking his own cock - -(instead of Trump’s, I presume). Is this some sort of “submission of the alpha male” ritual?
Preibus was allegedly insulted by not being invited to dinner with Trump, Hannity and Scaramucci.
But I can’t think of much of anything more frightening that being stuck at a dinner table with those three men. I’d prefer snakes.
That’s a pretty low bar. I mean, about the only thing that would have made the optics worse is if his wife had left him, missed the delivery of his newborn child who had medical problems, and tweeted that he’ll pray for his child while parading around on Air Force One.
Oh, wait…
There’s a bizarre strain of sexual posturing in the right wing these days. The obsession with “cucks” and Sebastian Gorka’s announcement that “The alpha males are back” are more examples. It’s a goddamned embarrassment to the country.
Can one feel one’s pulse through one’s own bottom?
I figured that it would be best to wait at least a month before learning to pronounce his last name. Skdo23 for the win.
You’ll never do the fandango with an attitude like that.
I’m fairly sure Beelzebub has a devil put aside for Trump. And Scaramucci. And Priebus. And Bannon. And Kushner. And Spicer. And…
My favorite part is that his official start date was going to be August 15th - he literally managed to hold the job for negative fifteen days.
If there’s still a civilization in a couple decades, that’s going to be one of those Amazing Presidential Trivia facts.
It’s been a long time since I laughed out loud at a news headline, but I literally did at this one. 
If this was a TV sitcom I would say it had jumped the shark.
SCENE: Last night, somewhere in America. Reince Priebus is sitting in his living room, alone, watching Wheel of Fortune in his underwear. A breaking news bulletin catches his attention.
He smiles suddenly, and – quietly to himself – makes the “sad trombone” noise.
Wah wah waaaaaaah
Glad to know I’m not the only one. I laughed, said “that’s hilarious,” then had to come over here and see the response.
Actually, as it turns out, he’s not the shortest serving communications director. If I understand correctly, John Koehler was tossed by President Reagan after only five days. This was primarily bad timing: Reagan changed his Chief of Staff (from Donald Regan to Howard Baker) just after Koehler was hired, and Baker wanted his own guy, so he terminated Koehler.
Or, in other words, kinda what happened to Scaramucci, only without the drunk conversation with the newspaperman. 
Drunk? Probably coked up.
The new Harvard Law School alumni association directory is out, and the Mooch has an asterisk next to his name, indicating that he’s dead. I’m not sure it’s supposed to be a metaphorical death, Harvard.
Maybe he’s in an Oxford coma.
Well, being an unrepentant member of the Hitler Youth was most likely what sealed the deal for Mr Koehler. But the leadership change gave a nice convenient out.
I feel more like Mooch was strutting around like the big man on campus for giving Reince a swirly and making him run home crying for his mom (especially after he got so so blessed to work for Mr Angry Carrot). I picture Kelly’s first order of business being to trick Mooch into being alone with him, picking him up by the throat and threatening to rip off his scrotum and suffocate him with it like a plastic bag if he ever attempted to make an “official statement” ever again. Mooch should be lucky the chief of staff change gave him an out.
Serious misstep by Trump on this one, the Mooch should have been a closer. The only 5 people less intelligent, more sycophantic and utterly shameless that he can chose from are Dennis Rodman, Cliven Bundy, Sarah Palin, Tami Lohren and Alex Jones.

The Mooch is out already? Hell, I didn’t even know he was in prison yet! How’d he like it?
One thing about old Mooch. He has been good for a few laughs.
