And now, folks, for yet more madness from this cabal, Kellyanne Conway, in defending the Mooch, asserts that ethics discourage people from serving in government:

She said this, of course, on Fox & Friends.

Kellyanne:

"There are so many qualified men and women who wanted to serve this president, this administration and their country who have been completely demoralized and completely, I think, disinclined to do so, based on the paperwork that we have to put forward, divesting assets, the different hoops you have to run through,” Conway said. “This White House is transparent and accountable, and we’ve all complied with those rules, but it has disincentivized good men and women. I hope it doesn’t disincentivize Anthony.”

Disgusting.

Ryan Lizza recounts his call with Scaramucci (the one before the on-air CNN call). I was going to pull a quote, but I really think it's worth reading the whole thing. It's bonkers, and puts a few things context. Wow.

Well, here's a little excerpt:

Reince is a f------ paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci told New Yorker writer Ryan Lizza in a Wednesday phone call.

If these people weren't screwing up the country so badly, this would be the most entertaining political show ever.

The Best Quotes From Anthony Scaramucci’s Absolutely Bonkers New Yorker Rant

And another twist to the saga: Scaramucci awaits U.S. approval for China deal which explains why he was so angry about his financial disclosure becoming public.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Anthony Scaramucci, the Trump administration's new communications director, has yet to get approval from U.S. regulators to sell his hedge fund firm to a group led by Chinese conglomerate HNA, according to a person familiar with the matter.

Scaramucci agreed in January to sell SkyBridge Capital LLC to clear the way for a job working with U.S. President Donald Trump. That role finally materialized on Friday when Trump shook up his administration, prompting the resignation of White House spokesman Sean Spicer.

Apparently he has a lot of eggs in this basket.

Here's my favorite coverage of Lizza's article. If I had to pick a favorite part, it might be that, while quoting one of the Mooch's choice phrases, the Washington Post (which I love) bleeped the word "suck" rather than the word "c*ck."

Many mysteries in the universe.

Yeah. If they could just cut the red tape on background checks they could have a bunch of Russian Cultural Attachés who would be more than happy to fill in the ranks on the cheap.

The Mooch fits rather well in this administration, don't you think?

Mooch has a penis envy problem, and now I will never unsee the gymnastics involved in the Bannon quote. >.<

I think the show has jumped the shark. The cast knows it's going belly up.

The WAPO article has been "updated." I didn't see it earlier, but right now it's got the full Bannon quote in all it's unbleeped glory. :greenie

I knew I shoulda screencapped it. Was on my computer not my phone, and eh, too much work. It was so funny because in sentence one, they bleeped sh*t as "s---" and in sentence two, right after, they bleeped suck as "su--". And I was like, huh, that's thoughtful. They left the "u" in so I could tell apart the two bleeped words.

Unfortunately, the spin-off starring Mike Pence is likely to be even worse, just with slicker production values.

If this situation were not so messed up, I'd be laughing so hard I'd cry. Instead, I might just cry. He's worried about the service people who are trans-gendered compromising the ability of the military to protect us. Completely backwards with this type of daily ridiculousness. Talk about a distraction.

I just read Ryan Lizza's article on The New Yorker. OMG. Is Scaramucci insane? On drugs? Or what? Wow.

Unimportant · Jul 27, 2017

That was my thought, too. I mean, there are a lot of politicians whose politics I am diametrically opposed to, but still, I could take them out to dinner and not worry that they would stick a spoon up their nose or hurl wine at the waiter. Mooch is even less presentable in public than his boss, and that is really saying something.

No, he's just Trump's mini me.

Sean Spicer is, I hope, sitting at home with a beer murmuring "Miss me yet?"

Anna Iguana · Jul 28, 2017

Weirdly, Spicer is still on the payroll a couple more weeks, still in a bigger office than Mooch's, and described by one news outlet as acting like he has a case of "senioritis."

(So I like to picture him doing everything you just said, Twick, except with his feet up on a desk, keeping Mooch out of the office he wants.)

I have to say, I think the laughter from the Mooch show has been good for me. I needed it to keep from fleeing to the wilderness. I'll hold on for a few more days and see how it all pans out.

Twick · Jul 28, 2017

The difference I see right now with Scaramucci is that Spicer knew he was lying, hated it, and turned the guilt into anger. Scaramucci is another Trump. He lies easily, without guilt. Probably enjoys it, as long as people act like they believe him. It's when they challenge him that the insane rage comes out.

Scaramucci's wife, Diedre Ball, apparently doesn't appreciate his rants and his love affair with Trump, either. She has filed for divorce.

Deidre Ball, who worked as a vice president in investor relations for SkyBridge Capital, the firm he founded in 2005 and sold to ascend to the White House, has filed for divorce from “The Mooch” after three years of marriage after getting fed up with his ruthless quest to get close to President Trump, whom she despises.

Mouth the Mooch, who reports only to the President, and a Marine corps general who is supposed to make the whole shit house mess smell good and run like Trump's promised finely tuned machine? Can anyone else see the fucknado on the horizon? --s6
