It is merely a matter of coincidence that Anthony Scaramucci

[MineralMan]

has an Italian name. Whether it's the Mafia or the Russian Mob, Trump is surrounding himself with goombahs and droogies. If his name was Scarmuchov, I'd be making jokes about the Russian Mob. As it happens, the guy's got the name of a clown in a commedia dell'arte farce. He is a little "silhouetto of a man." He is Scaramouche. His name is synonymous with a classic, farcical clown. I've also made jokes about him dancing the Fandango, for pete's sake. I will continue to mock him in any way I choose. He's a piece of shit used car salesman (POSUCS) as well. He's a skinny, little, fast-talking, stereotypical con man, too.

Some of the better known commedia dell'arte characters are Pierrot and Pierrette, Pantalone, Il Dottore, Brighella, Il Capitano, Colombina, the innamorati, Pedrolino, Pulcinella, Sandrone, Scaramuccia (also known as Scaramouche), La Signora, and Tartaglia

He's a consummate slimeball who is now acting as the mouthpiece for the worst President this country has ever seen.

It is simply a coincidence that Tony "the Tongue" Scaramucci is Italian. It's a coincidence that he is a caricature of a Mafia underling. He is what and who he is, and mockery of those who surround Donald Trump, our PINO, is going to occur, using whatever associations people can find. No offense to any group is intended. I am mocking the caricature that he represents and the part he is playing as the Secretary of the Ministry of Truth and Consigliere in the Trump administration.

1. "Tony the Mooch" is the perfect addition to the "Donnie Two Scoops" crime family...

7. Just found a reference to Scaramuccia in Wikipedia. Couldn't have been more on target

Scaramuccia (literally "little skirmisher&quot , also known as Scaramouche or Scaramouch, is a stock clown character of the Italian commedia dell'arte. The role combined characteristics of the zanni (servant) and the Capitano (masked henchman). Usually attired in black Spanish dress and burlesquing a don, he was often beaten by Harlequin for his boasting and cowardice.

8. Scaramucci sounds like Fanucci.

Don Fanucci of course killed by a young Vito Corleone on his rise to power

11. LOL ... nice one.

He does have nice hair though.

12. We have all seen the joy you get in making Italian slurs

When you have no idea if Scaramucci is connected to the mafia or not. You don't even know if he is of Sicilian descent. He may be Napolitano. Pugliese, or even Piemontese.

Doesn't matter to you though. It ends in a vowel so he is in the mafia.

It's called a stereotype. It's called racism.And I will continue to call you a racist as long as you attack him for his ethnic background

13. I knew he was a scumbag just by listening to what he said, without knowing anything else about him.

... and I believe MineralMan and most of the rest of us would say the same.

[Drahthaardogs]

14. So call him a scumbag

But don't mock his name or accuse him of being on the mafia. He probably is a scumbag, but an ethnic slur is just that and Mineral Man is a racist. Anyone who attacks a person based upon their name, heritage, or looks is a racist.

[Towlie]

15. No, anyone who attacks a person based upon their race is a racist.
