The New York Observer has revealed the supposed political ambitions of our favorite 911 NYC mayor, Rudy Giuliani.  Being at the middle-to-upper age of 65, Rudy really couldn’t get too far within his short years as a senator.  The Observer believes this is just a stepping stone on the path to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.

That’s the takeaway, at least, from the news that the former mayor is poised to challenge appointed Senator Kirsten Gillibrand in next year’s election. The more you consider his possible motives for doing so, the clearer it seems that Rudy is still afflicted with Potomac Fever.

It’s true that the Senate might not be as miserable for Mr. Giuliani as most assume it would be. He wouldn’t be an ordinary freshman: He’d get plenty of television time, and the G.O.P. leadership would probably enjoy showcasing him.

But he has the temperament of an executive, not a legislator, and at 65 years old, he hardly has the time to build up enough seniority to wield any real power in the Senate. Hence the widespread assumption that he must see the Senate not as an end in itself, but as a means to something bigger: the White House.

You might think, “Once bitten, twice shy” (although, with Rudy’s presidential run, it was more like, “Once mauled”)

Blind ambition seems to be Rudy’s MO.

Dream on.
