The most appalling line in Scaramucci's rant contained zero profanity

“I’m here to serve the country.”

In the hate-filled, profane, self-important rant of White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci to the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza, there were many appalling statements, but that was the one that stopped me cold.

We all know people who serve their country. They do so by putting on a uniform and fighting overseas, or joining the Foreign Service and representing us in foreign lands. They mentor a young person who needs guidance or take a foster child into their home or help build a house for a family in need. They run for school board or for Congress. Or, yes, they accept a president’s offer to work in the White House. If they do so, it is with a sense of respect and humility, an understanding that the opportunity is a privilege. I’ve known communications directors and speechwriters and chiefs of staff who have served presidents of both parties. I’ve agreed with them sometimes, and sometimes disagreed; liked and admired some more than others; some may even have thrown a curse word my way once in a while. But never have I known one who felt anything but a sense of wonder and gratitude for the chance to serve at the apex of our democratic government.

And now this: a communications director who, before even unpacking his bags, is disparaging the president’s chief of staff as a “f—ing paranoid schizophrenic” and the president’s chief strategist as a man who is just “trying to suck [his] own c—.” A staffer who professes loyalty to the president but demeans the presidency and everything it stands for. Who tweets one thing, then retracts it and lies about what he meant.

You might say, what do you expect? This is the kind of person who will be hired by a president who boasts about grabbing “p—-,” mocks a disabled journalist, hijacks a Boy Scout rally, publicly humiliates his own attorney general — and yet dares call himself “more presidential” than Ronald Reagan, Franklin Roosevelt, Thomas Jefferson or George Washington. And you would be right. Donald Trump is our president.

1. When we translate "To Serve the Country"

Will it be a cookbook?

4. Been on my mind since Don Jr was called "quality people"

That sounded like he was trying to negotiate a higher per pound price before legalizing Soylent Green.

Cannibalism by the administration has been purely metaphorical. So far.

3. This Scaramucci guy was the reason the 3 CNN reporters were fired in June

Interesting Wikipedia, the guy is kind of scammy. He graduated Harvard law but never passed the bar? Mmm?


"On June 26, 2017, three network investigative journalists: Thomas Frank, Eric Lichtblau, and Lex Haris, resigned from CNN over a retracted Trump-Russia story that connected Scaramucci to a $10 billion Russian investment fund. The network apologized to Scaramucci and stated the online story did not meet their editorial standards. Scaramucci said the original story was not true, and accepted CNN's apology. [40][41]"

And now we know why rancid penis hates him

Fox Business reported on January 31, 2017 that "Scaramucci's delayed appointment underscores some of the tensions building inside the Trump White House that began shortly after the President's come-from-behind victory in the November election as various aides and advisers continue to jockey for his attention and to retain and expand their power.[32] According to Politico, on January 31, 2017, with his appointment still pending approval by the United States Office of Government Ethics (OGE), Trump's chief of staff Reince Priebus called Scaramucci "to tell him he should pull out of consideration". They reported that Priebus opposed Scaramucci's appointment because Scaramucci had a direct relationship with Trump.[11] Several senior White House officials questioned the significance of any internal feuding in Scaramucci's appointment delay.[33] Reuters reported on February 1 that Scaramucci would not get the director role.[34] In a February 2017 New York magazine article, Priebus was quoted as saying rumors that he interfered with the hiring were "not true".[35]

I give this guy 3 months, he even got fired, rehired and fired at Goldman this was during the years when it was easy to get jobs on Wall Street.
