Anthony Scaramucci just had the worst week of his life; or so he undoubtedly hopes. His wife served divorce papers, he lost his dream job in the Trump administration after only ten days — even Mike Flynn lasted twenty three — and to add insult to injury, the Harvard Law Alumni Association is informing the world that Scaramucci is dead. No, this isn't from The Onion, this is from The Washington Post:
The blink-and-you-missed-him former White House communications director is listed as deceased in the new Harvard Law School alumni directory, which arrived in alums’ mailboxes the very week that “The Mooch” became the most talked-about guy in politics. An asterisk by the 1989 graduate’s name indicates that he was reported dead since the last directory, which was published in 2011.
It’s unclear whether he was the victim of a prank — or just a typo. Harvard Law didn’t say, but the school was apparently crimson-faced over the flub. “Regrettably, there is an error in the Harvard Law School alumni directory in the listing for Anthony Scaramucci,” a spokeswoman told us in an emailed statement. “We offer our sincere apologies to Mr. Scaramucci. The error will be corrected in subsequent editions.”
He might be dead to Harvard Law, but in his oh-so-brief tenure as President Trump’s top spokesman, Scaramucci, 53, had often name-dropped the prestigious school. He told CNN’s Jake Tapper he wouldn’t have attended the now-infamous meeting with Russians claiming to have dirt on Hillary Clinton because of his law degree. Later in the same interview, he boasted about getting an A-minus in Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe’s constitutional law class.
Maybe Harvard Law could make reparations to Anthony Scaramucci by offering him a professorship there. Then he could go down as the biggest embarrassment to the institution since Professor Timothy Leary started dropping acid and Professor John Mack began tracking UFOs. After all, they say that "A” law students become law professors, “B" law students become judges and “C" law students become rich, and Scaramucci says he got an A minus in Larry Tribe’s Con Law class. Scaramucci wouldn’t lie to us, would he? Ya think?
