Say it ain’t so, counselor.<\/p>\n

Michael Avenatti, whose only claim to national notoriety rests with his legal representation of a porn star who alleges she had a one-night stand with a future president of the United States, says he is considering a run for — gulp!<\/em> — the presidency of the United States.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh … my … goodness!<\/p>\n

Do you know what this tells me? It tells me that Donald J. Trump’s election as president in 2016 cements the notion that anyone can be be elected to the highest office in the land. Prior qualifications don’t matter. It doesn’t matter whether they have prior public service experience. Nor does it matter if they understand fully the complicated machinery that constitutes the federal system of government.<\/p>\n

Avenatti was, shall we say, on no one’s radar prior to emerging as Stormy Daniels’s lawyer.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m exploring a run for the presidency of the United States, and I wanted to come to Iowa and listen to people and learn about some issues that are facing the citizens of Iowa and do my homework,” Avenatti told the Des Moines Register.<\/p>\n

As the saying goes: Only in America.<\/p>\n\n
