The Mooch as Monica Lewinsky? Scaramuccis saga keeps getting stranger.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2017/08/10/the-scaramucci-saga-keeps-getting-stranger/?utm_term=.15ad2659375e

Anthony Scaramucci keeps complaining about the interview that cost him his job as White House communications director. And in doing so, he keeps betraying how amateur it was that the White House ever hired him.

When the New Yorker's Ryan Lizza first reported on Scaramucci's vulgar comments about his then-White House colleagues two weeks ago, Scaramucci said he would tone down the language. He then apparently decided to get a little more combative, suggesting the interview wasn't meant to be published and that a fellow Italian American like Lizza should have known he was just B.S.-ing.

And now that Lizza published additional comments from the interview Wednesday, Scaramucci is trying a new tack: Accusing Lizza of recording him without his knowledge by comparing him to a figure from the Bill Clinton sex scandal, Linda Tripp.

Scaramucci first compared Lizza to Tripp in a somewhat cryptic tweet Wednesday night.
