Make it for charity and give

Choose your weapons, sirrah!

Billy Bulger is a crook, a liar, and a mobster, and belongs in jail. But he's also far too much of a coward to take up Dersh on a debate. Gloves would be an easy out for him. I don't love Alan Dershowitz every day of the week, but there's nobody I'd rather see him sicked on.

You want to know what's wrong in politics in Boston? Case example #1 is Billy Bulger.

That's Awesome!

I wish more people would do what Prof. Dershowitz is doing. If people say stupid things they should be called out on it in public.

Dersh the torture fan

I'm no fan of Bulger and his hackery, but Dersh laid the foundation for the Bush administration's legal rationalizations for torture.

Bulger's a pompous petty criminal, Dershowitz an apologist for atrocities. One of those "Can they both lose?" situations.

john yoo?

I think the OLC laid the foundation for torture and warrantless wiretapping. John Yoo, specifically.
