The rhetoric between these two power balls on CNN Sunday July 23, 2017 was historic and bombastic. Both guys probably deserve to be spanked for upsetting the verbal apple cart. Perhaps NEW YORK TIMES writer Maureen Dowd said it best: '"President Trump
has finally found a courtier who can give him the buttery, boundless
respect he craves. A wealthy mini-me Manhattan bro with wolfy smile and
slick coif who will say anything and flip any position. A self-promoter
extraordinaire and master salesman who doesn’t mind pushing a bad
product — and probably sees it as more fun. For ego gratification, Trump
has struck gold — or Goldman Sachs — with his appointment of Wall
Street hedge fund guy and cable TV diva Anthony Scaramucci
as White House communications director. The Mogul and the Mooch is a
tender love story with dramatic implications for the imploding White
House."
Wow! Try and top that quote! Although Ms. Dowd is certainly vulerable. For example, during the Denver Democratic Convention in 2008, she waited in the long line to interview Lena Tessa Potapova carrying a protest sign: 38 MILLION BIRD WATCHERS ARE VOYEURS! PERVERTS, LET THE BIRDS HUMP IN PRIVATE!
Jake Tapper is no slouch when it comes to debating a political hacker. Tapper is also a clever cartoonist, just as Scaramucci excels in selling his snake oil and sniffing Trump's behind doggie fashion.
Now the whole world waits impatiently for the final curtain, when Humpty Trumpty takes his fall off the Mexican/American wall. As he lies (pun intended) on the ground, one hand is raised in the Nazi salute and the other clutches a well worn copy of "Mein Kampf."
If you paid a big price for this ringside saga there are no refunds. But there is hope!
