    I would never listen to or read anything from Dershowitz. Alan, stick to what you do best--getting murderers off.

    Are your high school research assistants going to write this one for you too, Alan?

    Alan Dershowitz is a cruel man who tries to destroy those (personally and professionally) who do not agree with his political views. WNYC will get no more financial support from me.

    I would perhaps like to comment on Mr. Dershowitz opera but would not dare knowing just how bitterly vicious and he can be. John our beloved host was too gracious to this serpent. Trust the art not the artist is a valid rule of thumb, but Mr. Dershowitz has yet to acquire the mantel of artist.

    Alan's a good guy. Quit the hating y'all.

    I hear Christopher Darden is great at macramé.
