Anthony Scaramucci (by Jdarsie11 via Wikimedia)
On Friday, we made a few jokes about White House communications director (former White House communications director, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) Anthony Scaramucci’s possible responses to Socratic questioning back when he was a student at Harvard Law School.
That post was all in good fun, but this right here, this is what HLS really thinks about this particular alumnus. From the Washington Post (emphasis added):

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 all of politics. An asterisk by the 1989 graduate’s name indicates that he was reported dead since the last directory, which was published in 2011.
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.”
Oh, I don’t think it was a typo. I’ll bet you five bucks that Scaramucci’s [email protected] account has been deactivated too.
Embarrass Harvard Law School at your (potentially everlasting) peril.
