Anthony Scaramucci Called Me to Unload About White House Leakers, Reince Priebus, and Steve Bannon

[ashtonelijah]

Source: The New Yorker

"Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” [White House Communications Director] Scaramucci said. He channelled Priebus as he spoke: “ ‘Oh, Bill Shine is coming in. Let me leak the fucking thing and see if I can cock-block these people the way I cock-blocked Scaramucci for six months.’"

. . .

"I'm not Steve Bannon, I’m not trying to suck my own cock,” he said, speaking of Trump’s chief strategist. “I’m not trying to build my own brand off the fucking strength of the President. I’m here to serve the country.” (Bannon declined to comment.)

. . .

"What I want to do is I want to fucking kill all the leakers and I want to get the President’s agenda on track so we can succeed for the American people,” he told me.

This is INSANE.

[Mc Mike]

1. Freak show, the whole admin. Especially the new foul mouthed spokesman and mob wannabe.

He fits right in with dRumpf's worldview, though. Another fake tough guy.

[jpak]

25. Correction:

Shit-show

yup

[grantcart]

40. correction: Lord of the Flies, now performing at the WH

[Scarsdale]

42. He has just as much

"couth" as tRump, and every bit as much CLASS. This country has fallen so far, so fast, it is astounding. One unqualified loud mouth gets into the WH, and brings others just as low-class along with hm. Guess he likes to be surrounded by low class people.

[Doitnow]

67. Members of a mob stick together-----until they don't!!

[benld74]

2. How many narcissists can the WH hold?

Ah one
Ah two
,,,,,

[FakeNoose]

65. I think there's only room for one narcissist

... and we all know who that is. The Mooch is putting on a show for his new boss, so Cheeto will see him being tough with the media. This is all for show, and it was totally planned to be that way.

If Cheeto was impressed, that's the only thing that matters. The rest of us can pound salt.

[forgotmylogin]

3. "...I want to fucking kill all the leakers..."

[janx]

4. Being paranoid seems to be a requirement for this administration!

Is there something in the water, or has Trump's paranoia become contagious?

[groundloop]

15. Work for someone who treats you like total shit long enough and paranoid becomes common

Been there, done that.

(Although 'the mooch' seems to have brought a good dose of paranoia with him)

[janx]

33. Good point. And yes, there has been so much infighting among this administration

that I have to suspect some of them were this way to begin with. God, what a way to live, eh? Conspiracy theories, paranoia, always looking over your shoulder...is it really worth the money? (Rhetorical question.)

It looks more to me like living in the gutter.

No wonder Spicey quit.

[Leghorn21]

5. Hot damn but I want to be a grease spot on Bannon's button-down shirt right now - DAYAM!!

Oh, it's probably all bogus anyway, why do I pay attention, grrrr

(But still...dayam)

[procon]

6. He nuts, a foaming at the mouth lunatic.

And I hope he keeps acting like a raving madman and dragging Trump down lower than he is now.

[aquamarina]

7. The greatest reality tv show in the history of the world.

Wow!

[enough]

23. Exactly. Just too bad it's our actual country. NT

[Achilleaze]

8. rude, crude and with a twisted cock fetish - freaking republicans

what a disgraceful lot. Buncha ignoble dicks. I mean.

[George II]

9. What a classy guy. I read the entire article, amazing that guy's in the white house.

[yodermon]

10. just wow.

what a moron, didn't even ask to be off the record. What a newbie mistake for the fucking, what is he, oh yeah COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR

[Stonepounder]

29. He's is not even the 'official' Communications Director, since he's not on the Gov payroll

and hasn't taken the oath of office yet either. So, what he Hell is he?

[2naSalit]

11. I was waiting for this to come around...

and here we are.

[frazzled]

12. Just when you think it can't get any worse

or any crazier ... BAM.

I feel like I'm re-watching Wolf of Wallstreet, and I didn't much care for it the first time. But Leo DiCap could probably do a good Mooch, given the right wig.

[janx]

13. It's like a cartoon! Can someone who has been appointed communications director

for the U.S. president really behave and talk this way?

It's revolting.

[nwduke]

14. Class

Trump continuing to bring class and respect to the White House ........Riiiiiiiiight!

[Paladin]

16. The White House, functioning as a Scorsese mob movie. Nice.... (nt)

[Freethinker65]

17. Typical WH banter. Mere locker room talk. Hahahahahahaha

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

18. I can hear T Rump and fans already........

"Fake news, fake news, fake news....................."

[janx]

34. . . .which just adds to the low mentality and language!

Oy.

[tanyev]

19. Wow. All White House staff should resign and leave immediately.

Nobody should have to work with that kind of asshole.

[elehhhhna]

20. Coked up little ahole ... he sounds like he's from bad movie about New Jersey

[mitch96]

21. If this article is true

Scaramooch told this guy knowing FULL WELL that it would get out to the general population.. He planed it... You don't talk to a writer for the New Yorker and not expect him to write?
What is his intention to leak this informantion ... OOps..... is Saramooch himself a leaker?? Send a message? And if he is a leaker can he play the fandango???

[58Sunliner]

43. I had to look it up. I assumed it has street reference.

Fan·dan·go noun
1.a lively Spanish dance for two people, typically accompanied by castanets or tambourine.
2.a foolish or useless act or thing.

[Lazy Daisy]

46. I believe

it's a reference to the Queen song, Bohemian Rhapsody
"I see a little silhouetto of a man
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?"

[58Sunliner]

48. I know, but I assumed it had a sex reference.

[mitch96]

53. who, me?? never....

[janx]

49. . . .which is a reference to Scaramouche in classic Italian comedy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaramouche

I love Queen.

Edited to add, from Wikipedia/Merriam Webster:

"Anthony Scaramucci was named White House communications director in July, 2017; this prompted an 8,185% increase in searches for "Scaramouch" according to Merriam-Webster. [5]"

[BumRushDaShow]

22. I know folks will probably smack me for this

but these are times when one would send someone like Rahm Emmanuel in there and have the 2 hot-head pit bulls battle it out.

[janx]

35. I don't even think Rahm, with his rumored tough ways of dealing with things,

would want anything to do with this.

[BumRushDaShow]

39. It's more an ego thing

as Rahm was one to throw around f-bombs and threats too - at least back in his early days during the Obama admin. This was mainly why Obama picked him - basically to play the bully to head off all those GOPers in Congress with exploded heads after Obama's election.

[SharonClark]

55. Rahm would be no match for the new short fingered vulgarian

[BumRushDaShow]

57. Ironically when hunting around

I noticed that RW media are actually comparing the two.

[BigmanPigman]

24. I am so glad this was posted. I watched MTP Daily and they could only show two partial

sentences due to so many "expletives". Man, he swears as much as I do. However I never did it at work and in public view.

[PatSeg]

28. Same here

I can see now what Chuck Todd meant about some of the quotes wouldn't be comprehensible because of the expletives.

[bora13]

26. the mooch

and his spy pen cameras.
bet he managed to put one
near bannon's bottle of mouthwash.

[PatSeg]

27. My god

He's every bit as loony as Trump! I'd call it a circus, but a circus is entertaining. This is just horrifying.

[mitch96]

54. Right?

"but a circus is entertaining. This is just horrifying."
It's like a bad soap opera you can't stop watching.... ugh..
m

[PatSeg]

61. Or a terrible reality TV show

"Survivor in the White House".

The entire country is going to have a nervous breakdown before this is over.

[Stonepounder]

30. PLEASE PUT A "NSFW" TAG ON THIS!

[LudwigPastorius]

31. "Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac"

Just like his boss, Scaramucci projects his personality onto others.

It appears that Trump has found his Goebbels.

[.99center]

32. CNN Breaking News-- Mucci: "I'm not Steve Bannon, I'm not trying to s--k my own (expletive)"

[janx]

44. Right. Yet in an opinion piece, they did not even censor it.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/27/politics/scaramucci-lizza-quotes-ranked/index.html

Scaramouche the sewer rat.

[narnian60]

36. Yeah, and President Obama

was the disaster for 8 years. Sheesh.

[LuckyLib]

59. This is what we need to hit Trumpsters with each time

they try to dismiss the shit show in the WH -- "and you spent 8 years trashing President Obama? How's Trump's class working for you?

[narnian60]

60. I think they enjoy the drama of this shit show.

[spiderpig]

37. Trump will probably have Mooch address the next Boy Scout Jamboree

Where are we going as a country?

[Honeycombe8]

41. Wow. He's already in melt down mode and it hasn't even been a week. Wow.

And for a multi-millionaire in slick expensive suits and wearing makeup, he sure is trailer trash in the way he speaks and thinks. Who does that remind me of?

[janx]

45. But is he in meltdown mode, or is this the way he normally talks?

I'm actually banking on the latter.

[Codeine]

47. Holy fucking shit. We are through the looking glass, people.

Full-on whackadoo.

[ProgressiveValue]

50. Anthony "The Situation" Scaramucci

[muriel_volestrangler]

51. It's been funny listening to the BBC paraphrasing all this in the morning, since it's mostly

unsuitable for broadcast. Bannon was "extremely pleased with himself" was their chosen euphemism.

[Sunlei]

52. is he a drunk or just another asshole trump hire?

[Motley13]

56. Seth Meyers was funny last night, lots of bleeps, but for cock, he had a rooster cock-a-doodle-doo

[dhill926]

58. classy....

[SWBTATTReg]

62. Scaramucci, gutter mouth

Just what we need, besides tRUMP, another gutter mouth.

[McCamy Taylor]

63. Is he a press secretary or Russian mob enforcer?

[Kennah]

64. Smoochy Beats Rinsed Penis (n/t)

[Jim__]

66. Scaramucci dumped by Trump on Monday.

Easy come, easy go.
