Anthony Scaramucci lasted only 10 days as White House communications director before a colorful phone call to the New Yorker’s Ryan Lizza went public. Not much had been heard from “The Mooch” since, and though he’s booked on “The Colbert Report” Monday night, the public didn’t have to wait that long to squeeze a little more entertainment value from him.
On Wednesday night, Scaramucci kicked things off by likening Ryan Lizza to the woman who recorded her phone calls with Monica Lewinsky.
.@RyanLizza is the Linda Tripp of 2017. People know. And he is up at night not being able to live with himself.

Are you accusing him of taping the call without your permission?
— Roland Scahill (@rolandscahill) August 10, 2017
Yes. He absolutely taped the call without my permission. #lowlife https://t.co/fTDcBw4vcT

If Lizza is Tripp, that would make Scaramucci …? Gross.
Thst means you are Monica and Trump is Clinton. Do you know what Monica did to Clinton?

Are you saying that you tried to give him a blowjob?

He did not think this analogy through.

You called him, right?
— Judd Bagley (@WriterJudd) August 10, 2017
No, you are the one who didn't know enough to ask for it to be off the record or on background. You. called. a. reporter.

Um, you called him. Spilled your guts, and lost your job. Stop projecting. Let's take accountability for our own actions, Mooch.

Mooch tried to be comms director without knowing anything about media/journalism/on/off-the-record/background. Your 15 mins are over

And who, according to the report, asked for a portion of the conversation to be off the record, implying understanding that the rest was on.

You were the POTUS's enforcer vowing to punish/"kill" whistleblowers. You're the kind of pol who makes people become Linda Tripp happen.

How about don't call reporters and go bizarre? Too much to ask?

I'm pretty sure your epic lack of self-awareness and poor judgement was the greatest scoop of his career. He probably sleeps like a baby.

Buddy, people won't forget how you humiliated yourself if you keep reminding them.

I really hope you bring this sort of "A" material to @StephenAtHome.
