Flipping the dial — as we used to say when TVs had dials — I caught a snippet of Rudy Giuliani complaining his First Amendment Rights are being trampled. Who did this trampling? Why, the rich ultra-right-wing guy who owns ultra-right-wing radio station WABC in New York and hired Rudy in the first place, that's who. That man canceled Rudy's radio program because, despite being ordered not to, America's ex-Mayor insisted on rehashing over and over, his insistence that the last presidential election was rigged, miscounted, hijacked, whatever.

And as you can see below, that's a clear-as-day violation of the First Amendment. That's why the Founding Fathers included that passage about every American citizen's right to have a lucrative job broadcasting on a radio station. If they'd known in 1791 about Roku, they'd probably have included something about everyone's right to their own streaming channel.

Turning off Sarcasm Mode, I continue to be mesmerized by this man's ability to make his life worse and worse through some odd mix of incompetence and misplaced defiance. Here's the latest in a long series of self-induced embarrassments…

As of Wednesday, Arizona officials were having a hard time locating Rudy Giuliani to serve him notice of his indictment for his alleged interference efforts in the 2020 election, and the cat and mouse — on Giuliani's end — seems to have been intentional.

In a since deleted post on social media, Giuliani all but said, "Catch me if you can," writing, "If Arizona authorities can't find me by tomorrow morning: 1. They must dismiss the indictment; 2. They must concede they can't count votes." But catch him they did.

"The final defendant was served moments ago. @RudyGiuliani, nobody is above the law," AZ Attorney General Kris Mayes wrote in a post of her own on Friday, after her office tracked down the former NYC mayor as he was hosting a birthday party in Palm Beach, Florida attended by nearly 75 guests.

"The mayor was unphased by the decision to try and embarrass him during his 80th birthday party. He enjoyed an incredible evening with hundreds of people who love him — from all walks of life — and we look forward to full vindication soon," Giuliani spokesperson Ted Goodman said in a statement to The Hill.

Per reporting by The Independent, just prior to being served, Giuliani was filmed "belting out" Frank Sinatra's classic "New York, New York" to cheers from guests.

He should have done "My Way." It would have been so perfect if they served him as he finished singing "My Way."
