Anthony Scaramucci Has a Cold

I know it's politics-related. But from a journalism standpoint, can we have a separate thread to bask in the glory that is Ryan Lizza's just-posted New Yorker story.

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

"Scaramucci also told me that, unlike other senior officials, he had no interest in media attention. '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.)"

 

Every time I hear Scaramucci's name, I can't help but think of this guy. I kind of want to imagine him inviting the Trump administration outcasts to a private island retreat in Thailand.

 

“What I want to do is I want to fucking kill all the leakers."

 

That was pretty remarkable. It had to be very strange to be on the reporter's end of that call.

 

Reince is a "fucking paranoid schizophrenic" ... lol

 

Politics has always been a dirty, dirty business. Maybe it's good for us to be able to clearly see how dirty it actually is.

 

Peter King says fuhgetaboutit, I've worked with Scaramuccis all my life.

 

2 points to whoever at the Globe wrote the lede-in ...

 

Not printed were his comments that Terry Crowley's lucky he's in fucking baseball and nobody needs team speed when you have big cocksuckers who can hit the ball out the ballpark.

 

Excellent thread title, Dick.

 

Excellent pull!

 

I'm listening to Sinatra right now.

The album that has the painting of him as a clown on it.

Frank's favorite album.
