Anthony Scaramucci is out as the White House Communications Director.
He lasted 10 days.
Michael Flynn lasted 24 days as National Security Adviser.
Reince Preibus lasted 188 days as Chief of Staff.

These are all records for least amount of time in the job for Communications Director, National Security Adviser, and Chief of Staff.

Whomever takes over the Communications Director next will be the fourth person to hold that job since January 20, 2017.

I hope the next person's name is Bea El-Zabub or Galileo Figaro, just so we can keep the Queen lyrics thing going.

Nope, James Baker lasted less than five months with George H.W. Bush. He didn't resign and he wasn't fired.
He probably would have continued in his position had not Clinton won the Presidency.

So Preibus has the distinction of having been in that office with the second shortest tenure --6 months and 8 days.

Baker had two stints, he was Reagan's first Chief of Staff and Bush's last. The OP's clever phrasing "least amount of time in the job" allows for Priebus to be designated as record holder instead of Baker.

Not "clever." Baker was a holdover from the previous administration. Every president appoints a new chief of staff. That Bush kept on Baker for a couple of weeks is neither here nor there.

Actually I had forgot about James Baker finishing up Bush Sr.'s term. When I made my statement I was thinking of those Chief of Staff's that had served the shortest amount of time because they had resigned or been fired. Priebus fits that criteria.

Personally I thought it IRONIC that the Mooch was chosen to be the White House Communications Director considering the quality of his "communications".

3 1/2 more years of such "communications"?

Just saying.
