THE BURNED OVER DISTRICT

After failing time and time again, Rudi Ghouliani is being seriously considered for the position of Secretary of State, no doubt because of his Italian heritage.

Mr. Giuliani, a loyal, often ferocious backer of Mr. Trump’s candidacy, would be a startling choice to be the nation’s chief diplomat – a relentless former federal prosecutor who has viewed foreign policy largely through the prism of the Sept. 11 attacks, which turned him into a national figure.

Though that ordeal gave Mr. Giuliani a firm grounding in domestic security issues, his formal diplomatic experience is slim. Like other New York City mayors, he made occasional ventures into foreign policy, on issues like the Middle East peace process or more parochial concerns, like going after foreign diplomats for their unpaid parking tickets.

Mr. Giuliani, who mounted brief bids for the Senate in 2000 and the White House in 2008, is now best known for his full-throated advocacy of his fellow New Yorker, Mr. Trump. He delivered a speech on his behalf at the Republican National Convention in which he condemned President Obama, saying he had failed to protect Americans from “Islamic extremist terrorism.”

After Mr. Trump’s campaign was nearly upended by the release of a tape from the program “Access Hollywood,” in which he made lewd comments about women, Mr. Giuliani was the only major supporter who came to his defense, appearing on Sunday morning news shows after other Trump advisers canceled their appearances.

Choosing an unorthodox candidate would be entirely in character for Mr. Trump, who on Sunday named Stephen K. Bannon, a far-right media entrepreneur celebrated by the white nationalist movement, to be chief strategist in the White House. That pick drew a storm of criticism from Democrats, civil-rights groups and even Republicans.

While Mr. Giuliani would lack the experience of the last two secretaries of state, John Kerry and Hillary Clinton, both of whom concentrated on foreign affairs in the Senate, he claims a particular expertise in diagnosing and combating the scourge of Islamic militancy.

Rudi's selection would be in keeping with the Republican tradition of selecting the least competent person for any particular position. People forget that 9/11 was his great failure because he located the emergency command center in the World Trade Center so he could impress the chicks he took there to fuck.Lord knows where he would be fucking them in Foggy Bottom.
