Good.

Although, ima kinda gonna miss those buttons. The British Airways flight attendant look was a banger of an outfit.

Not gonna miss anything else. Wonder if he'll just use an LLM chatbot to replace her now.

That was quick.

Are we only counting business days? That would be about ~.45 muchies.

Scaramuchi = 11 days, Zachamuchi = 7 days

What is the exact number? Im getting 5ish days, some are a week. I do not know how scientific we can get when attempting to measure micro-muchies.

Impressive since most thought a Scaramuchi was a fundamental unit

Lettuce?

After her disastrous press briefing recently, someone asked if she'd last longer than a head of lettuce (in reference to the Liz Truss lettuce).

ROFL a chatbot would be hilarious. You know the reporters would figure out how to trick it into fact checking itself and it would then also be fired. Maybe this is how the ai bubble actually pops?

I thought a Scaramucci was 10 or 11 days, depending on whether you use the metric or imperial Scaramucci.

I was least speculating how long she would last.

My money was on less than one scaramucci

She was so excited at that press conference, saying how happy she was to be working for Trump.

I'm so pleased that this probably broke her heart. For the rest of her scummy life, she'll always be remembered for being one of the most incompetent people among the the most incompetent people ever in the history of the US government.

I wonder what the insiders would say the reason was? A poor showing in fox news interviews?

There's no way they care about the not-really-a-lawyer thing, is there? Or about just being terrible at the job itself? I would have guessed those were assets.

in short :

President Trump’s new press secretary, Katie Zacharia, was fired Friday, after less than a week on the job, according to three people familiar with the matter.

Ms. Zacharia had gotten off to a bumpy start with her first and final press briefing on Tuesday, in which :
1- she largely read off a script and
2- (she) ended questioning after just three queries (were addressed to her).

That was followed by an onslaught of headlines about whether she had misrepresented herself as a lawyer — the president called her “an attorney” — despite failing her bar exam.

It's really hard to distinguish your incompetence surrounded by really incompetent people.

What a joke.

They should fire the person who approved this hire. That's the person to blame.

Can we all just stop reacting to the intentional distraction cycle?

I wish the press would just refuse to cover the unprofessional nonsense, treat the administration like a toddler breaking things just to get attention.

.8 Scramuchis = 1 Paramuchi.

Yes, 11 days. But she was Press Secretary for 9 days, from the 9th to the 16th. 9/11 = .81

Edit: 9th to 16th is 7 days, not 9. So I guess my prediction of .6 scaramuchis was correct

According to Wikipedia she served as press secretary from October 9 until her termination on October 16.

So 9 days Edit 7 days, math is hard
