Michael Avenatti cracks me up.<\/p>\n

The lawyer who is pondering a run for the presidency in 2020 has scolded the media for calling him a “celebrity.” He bristled at the idea of the media labeling him something he most certainly has become.<\/p>\n

Avenatti represents Stephanie Clifford, aka Stormy Daniels, the porn actor who alleges she and the future president of the United States, Donald Trump, had a fling in a hotel room years ago. The president paid her hush money to keep her quiet, but denies the tryst occurred … go figure.<\/p>\n

Avenatti has stepped into the public spotlight by being everywhere, seemingly at once. That, by my definition, makes him a celebrity.<\/p>\n

Oh, no, he answers. He is a lawyer with an 18-year career. He has represented “Davids against Goliaths.”<\/p>\n

I guess this means that if decides to run for president, he’ll tell us he isn’t a politician.<\/p>\n

He then will fit the definition of two terms he doesn’t like.<\/p>\n

Too bad, counselor\/celebrity<\/em> and maybe — politician<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I mean, if the shoe fits …<\/p>\n\n
