Donald Trump's new personal lawyer, the elderly and irascible Rudy Giuliani, has so far proven to be the master of one thing only: keeping his own name in the press. And while Boss Trump may occasionally relish a few minutes out of the limelight, he is nevertheless a raging narcissist who views everything as being about him - and he has a constant need to be noticed. A press hog like Rudy will eventually wear out his welcome in Trump World.
Giuliani got the press buzzing yesterday when he landed a couple of cheap shots on former Vice President Joe Biden. Rudy was talking politics when he offered that he was far more worried about the emergence of unknown Democratic candidates in 2020 than he was regarding Elizabeth Warren or Joe Biden. In fact, he went on to make remarks about Biden which were particularly corrosive. "Joe Biden is a moron," Rudy offered at one point, and then, just to make sure that his point was set in cement, he added, "I'm calling Joe Biden a mentally deficient idiot."
Why this sudden administration spotlight on Biden? Does Rudy's boss fear getting a political beat-down from the 75-year-old former Vice President of the United States, or is there a more nefarious game being played. Are Rudy and Trump trying a variation of a game that Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill refined in 2012, a slick maneuver called "pick your own opponent." McCaskill stampeded Missouri's doltish Republicans into choosing their weakest candidate, Congressman Todd Akin, to run against her by making it appear that he was the candidate she really feared.
Is Rudy running a variation of the McCaskill scam - trashing Biden in the hopes that angry Democrats will rush to nominate him just to spite Rudy and Trump? Perhaps that is the case, but if Giuliani is trying to manipulate Democrats into doing his bidding, he needs to remember one thing: he is not as bright as Claire McCaskill - and certainly not as devious.
Leave dirty tricks to the experts, Rudy. Your relevance as a political strategist has passed, if it ever existed at all - and you need to be focusing your energies on finding wife number four. There is an idiot out there somewhere just waiting for you to notice her.
