Dershowitz has a mad crush on himself.

I don't know how he can fit in a chair given the size of his ego.

He is on with Ari Melber right now and seems to want to have it all ways.

What's so special about THIS asshat, that EVERY cable news network wants to interview him. Jeffrey Toobin is twice the lawyer, and twice the commentator that Dershy is.

When the Simpson team brought in Dershowitz, as a so-called big gun. Dershowitz started making his argument, waving his hands around, and raising his voice for full 'Professor Kingsfield effect.' Lance Ito interrupted him mid-verbiage by saying "Counsellor...I'm only EIGHT FEET AWAY." Dershowitz was flummoxed, and fumbled for a minute as he tried to figure out some way to regain the dramatic moment. He never succeeded.

The man is a clown. Always was.
