Dershowitz Writes. Hilarity Ensues

This piece by Alan Dershowitz made me laugh out loud:

The appellate judges had to see that Libby's arguments on appeal were sound and strong -- that under existing law he was entitled to bail pending appeal. (That is why I joined several other law professors in filing an amicus brief on this limited issue.)

Hahahahahahahahahaha. But of course brave Sir Alan. YOU filed an amicus brief. How could the Appellate Court not have recognized the utter brilliance and merit of your argument? It had to be political.

Too funny. This guy is a scream.

    The great thing about a guy like Alan Dershowitz is how they think they are smarter than you and I, but in fact we both grinning because we know his existence means that we are each certainly smarter than at least one famous egghead.
