Eleven days. That’s how long it took for Anthony Scaramucci to wear out his welcome and go straight out the back door at the White House.
BREAKING: AP source: Anthony Scaramucci ousted from White House communications post after 11 days on the job.

The snark was immediate.
Thank you Anthony @Scaramucci for your service. I speak for a grateful nation when I say “has it really only been 11 days?!?” https://t.co/78ZEWLYrjC

The leftover Chinese food in my refrigerator has been there longer than Anthony Scaramucci's time at the White House.

After all, Scaramucci did this to himself.
And it seems that what ousted him was… karma.
The change came at the request of new chief of staff John Kelly, who started Monday, the officials said. It was not clear whether he would take on a new role after leaving the communications job, nor was it immediately clear who would take over the position.
“Kelly is already changing the culture here,” said one White House aide.
Scaramucci gets rid of Priebus, Kelly takes Priebus’s place, Kelly gets rid of Scaramucci. It’s almost poetic.
I’ll say this: the Trump White House has not been boring. But honestly… a little boring stability would be great right about now.
Yeah, boring would be nice, if it was the right kind of boring. We have enough excitement with all the other doofuses in the world in positions of power, we don’t need it in our own house. Kelly might finally bring that.
Sadly, this reality show level of administration is not surprising.
I do honestly wonder if he was put in place, just to drive out Priebus, so President Trump wasn’t the “bad guy” with the intention that he’d leave as soon as Kelly was in place… I don’t always agree with the President, but I do believe he’s the master of the deal, and is playing the dims and the media whenever it suits him…
