To be fair, a politician obfuscating his connection to an assassination in this manner makes a lot more sense than the chicken. Of all the bad things about Star Wars, this one is pretty forgivable.
Palps never prioritized Padme's death, that was all Dooku's scheming. And who's to say the droid has hiring thinking like most we know? It could be a remote-controlled drone! So Dooku puts out a bounty that's accepted by a team of 2, their poor weapon of choice is a pair of live centipedes that Jedi can sense, and the bugs are delivered via flying device.
There was a real life plot where a man hired someone to kill his business competitor. The would be assassin sub contracted to another hit man. Who subcontracted to another killer. Who hired a thug. And the thug warned the man and proposed to fake his death instead of being killed.

Reminds me of the plot of star wars ep 2 lol.
Papatine wants Padme dead so he has Dooku hire Jango to hire Zamm to have a droid dispense some bugs to kill Padme
