The issue, he said, was that he believed Priebus had been worried about the dinner because he hadn’t been invited. “Reince is a fucking paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac,” Scaramucci said. He channelled Priebus as he spoke: “ ‘Oh, Bill Shine is coming in. Let me leak the fucking thing and see if I can cock-block these people the way I cock-blocked Scaramucci for six months.’ ” (Priebus did not respond to a request for comment.)
He, uh, doesn't mince words, eh?

He's a man who's proven himself. On his own. I think he'll fit in better with Trump, and he needs more men like him

Communications Directors can say whatever they want. Presidents and presidential candidates have to cool it, a little.

Ant'ny Scaramucci meets with 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.)
Quick, someone bottle that shit, load it into syringes, and inject everyone else in D.C.
If only that sort of attitude was required of all politicians.

I can't see how having a guy like this in the WH helps the president.

This is exactly the kind of guy the the president needs. He will pull no punches, call a spade a spade,(did I just say that?)and will absolutely 100% be loyal to the president and the country.

That says a lot about how he will run the White House Communications agency, and be a pitbull asskicker for the president. With all the attacks from dems, the media,and ballless RHINO's & haters in the party, this guy is what's needed in this administration.

I'm not sure what to make of him. First, admittedly shallow, impression is that of an overly slick used car salesman.

Hasn't Ant'ny already outed Reece's Penis as the WH rat? That alone is worth something.

I see Scaramuci as Trump's version of Frank Underwood's Doug Stamper, and not that it's a bad thing.

He's making Trump look like quite the diplomat, and that's saying something.
Yes, I can see the advantages to that. Apparently, DJT wants Reince Priebus gone and has sicked his pitbull on him. Reince Priebus has long been part of the establishment GOPe so I haven't been a fan, but is that how it works now?
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

There is something endearing about a WH spokesman who talks like Al Swearengen from Deadwood.

I'm starting to like this guy.
Preibus always seemed like a weenie to me so if he goes then good riddance. Don't know a thing about Bannon though. Seems like he always stayed in the shadows. We will see.
