Scaramucci, Scaramuccial, Scaramouche, or Scaramouch

PSA
Anthony Scaramucci,
Announced as the new WH Director of Communication..

Scaramuccia (literally "little skirmisher"), also known as Scaramouche or Scaramouch, is a stock clown character of the Italian commedia dell'arte.

The role combined characteristics of the zanni (servant) and the Capitano (masked henchman). Usually attired in black Spanish dress and burlesquing a don.

Often beaten by Harlequin for his boasting and cowardice.

Scaramouche is one of the great characters in the Punch and Judy puppet shows (a performative art with roots in commedia dell'arte).

In some scenarios, he is the owner of The Dog, another stock character. During performances, Punch frequently strikes Scaramouche, causing his head to come off his shoulders.

Because of this, the term scaramouche has become associated with a class of puppets with extendable necks.

Coincidence??

I think not..

LMAO
