Harvard Kills Off The Mooch

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Somebody tell Harvard that the drama-filled, plot-shifting White House isn't actually a "Game Of Thrones" episode. No one is killing off characters.

Anthony Scaramucci, the slick-talking Wall Street yapper who was named White House communications director not two weeks ago, was listed as dead in Harvard Law School's new alumni directory. The school called it a regrettable error.

Scaramucci, who replaced dearly departed Sean Spicer (not that kind of departed, Harvard!) as the communications head, left the White House in order to give brand new chief of staff, Gen. John Kelly, a clean slate. Or he was forced out, depending on which White House narrative you'd like to believe. One thing we do know: He's still alive.

Scaramucci graduated from the esteemed Cambridge university in 1989. The newest directory, available only to alumni, reportedly has an asterisk next to Scaramucci's name, indicating he had passed away since the last directory in 2011.

"Regrettably, there is an error in the Harvard Law School alumni directory in the listing for Anthony Scaramucci," Harvard Law spokeswoman Michelle Deakin said in a statement. "We offer our sincere apologies to Mr. Scaramucci. The error will be corrected in subsequent editions."

"Game Of Thrones" references aside, Scaramucci did use some HBO-level language in a late-night phone call to a reporter from The New Yorker last week. Either it was or wasn't a problem for President Trump, but it apparently wasn't fitting of the position in the eyes of Kelly.

Scaramucci needn't keep in touch, apparently:
