So Long, Scaramucci! We Hardly Knew Ye

CNN reporting on the shortest tenure for a White House Communications Director in the history of communications directors:

Anthony Scaramucci is out as White House communications director, two sources tell CNN.

It’s the latest high-profile departure from the Trump White House. Chief of Staff Reince Priebus resigned at the end of last week, replaced by John Kelly, whose first day is Monday.

A White House official said Kelly wanted Scaramucci removed from his new role as the communications director because he did not think he was disciplined and had burned his credibility.

Scaramucci, a colorful and controversial figure, was brought on during the latest in a long list of White House shake ups that have rocked the presidency with a sense of chaos.

And folks, it would appear the chaos is still a-rockin’! Anthony Scaramucci’s ultra-brief tenure did precipitate the resignation of former Trump spox Sean Spicer and the firing of White House chief of staff Reince Priebus, so he’ll be remembered for something anyway–besides that memorable New Yorker interview in which he declared he was not taking a job in the Trump White House to “suck my own cock.”

We’re gonna miss “Mooch.” He had…authenticity. Not good authenticity, mind you, but still.
