What is it with Scaramucci?

WA Post describes his NYT interview as "It's vulgar, vindictive and volatile."  To say the least!   This would not have been tolerated even 20 years ago and times are changing but do we really need this kind of crude vitriol from people in high positions?  Am I just being old fashioned or is there a good argument for showing a little... no, a LOT... more class from people in higher offices?

    A lot more class wouldn't even be classy enough

    It is crazy how much hate from the right there was for Bill Clinton because of his extramarital affairs.  Who knew all he had to do was say "I'm anti-abortion" and the right would love him and make him a saint.  I can't stand how people are willing to sell their souls for a single issue and support these sick people like Trump and Mooch.

    No we certainly don't need crude vitriol from people in high positions.  We also don't want to hear it from the public in lower positions either.  Perhaps one day when the dems/radlibs stop yapping their vitriol for President Trump they will present to us a candidate that will beat him in the next election.  One day.

    Well as America elected a massive douchebag to the highest possible position why wouldn't you expect horrendous people to become the norm?

    He reminds me of an 80's comedy movie villain.  Except the director would probably tell him to reel the doucheness back a tad.

    Unless, as is more likely, he's shooting a B movie and would want the doucheness ratcheted up a few notches for dramatic effect.

    I agree.

    Wait, are we talking about Scaramucci or our local bridge dweller?



    Scaramucci reminds me of a character from an episode of Futurama.  He has Bone-itis.

    I think the current administration does not consider sanity or any amount of self-control to be a requirement for any job within it. It's so fucked up I don't even know what to say about it anymore.

    Haha, of course not including The Don. Too bad it isn't so easy with him!
    What is the real story here I wonder? I'm thinking perhaps there is something egregiously indefensible about the Mooch that forced them to take this embarrassing step so quickly. I find it hard to believe it was simply that the new AG wanted him gone, given the speed at which it was done. I am just dying to know what it could be, if anything. If it really is simply that Kelly wanted him gone, well, that in and of itself is pretty fucked up, given the optics of the firing. It makes the entire administration look even more ridiculous than it already did.
