My probably over-stocked vocabulary of sex isn't big enough for it to include a male-prostitute equivalent of "call girl" but if I knew one I'd use it to correct something I read when Alan Dershowitz filed his $300 million lawsuit against CNN. Someone in the stuff around that called him a "public intellectual" when he's no intellectual and he's certainly not "public" if by that you mean someone whose public babblage falls in the realm of honesty or is in the public's interest. What he is is a whore of Trumpism.
I happened across a piece he got posted the other day at some outfit called "The Jewish Press.com" in which he makes a pose of intellectual activity which, unsurprisingly, comes out exactly where you'd expect it to, giving Trump a win.
One conclusion that is beyond any dispute is that no doctor has the right to deliberately and willfully mislead the public, even if his patient tells him to. I am not accusing any doctor of doing that in this case. But the rules of the profession are clear: a doctor can refuse to disclose based on patient confidentiality; or a doctor can disclose with the consent of the patient; but a doctor cannot lie to the public even if the patient demands that he do so.
This is a complex area of medical ethics, law and public policy. It requires nuanced solutions that serve both the short-term public interest and the long-term need to maintain medical confidentiality. These issues should be discussed in a non-partisan, non–ideological and non-political manner.
To which I say, just fuck off Dershowitz. YOU are the one who chose to lie like a lawyer about Trump misleading the public WHILE OCCUPYING THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT, to then claim that "these issues should be discussed in a non-partisan, non-ideological and non-political manner," is lawyerly lying bullshit of the typical kind. THE PRESIDENCY IS A POLITICAL, A PARTISAN AND AN IDEOLOGICALLY HELD OFFICE THE ENTIRE REASON THAT PRESIDENTIAL HEALTH IS AN ISSUE AT ALL IS BECAUSE OF THAT. It is public BECAUSE IT IS POLITICAL. The public has every right to know what the health AND THE FUCKING TAX RETURNS of a man who wants to rule them are. It is a public interest exactly because of that, because political office holders hold the power to impact our lives through the enahnced power that politics gives them. To insist that those very things be removed from the discussion is the kind of thing that makes people rightfully think the legal profession are a bunch of lying scumbags for profit.
And I'll point out that as during your lairaing on his behalf in his impeachment hearing, you are trying to get him a POLITICAL, A PARTISAN AND AN IDEOLOGICAL WIN. Oh, no doubt while issuing a lawyerly disclaimer claiming you did not share his political, partisan or ideological orientation, a pose so transparently dishonest that even the Martha's Vineyard crowd has seen through it, but not the media. You carry his sewage, you stink as it does.
There is a lot more that I could say about the thing but as it ends in that heap of mendacity after lawyerly dodge and weave bull shit, that's enough to show what a scumbag he is.
Dershowitz, I hate CNN, the original degraders of the news into 24-7 cabloidism, your natural environment, but I hope that they either get huge costs when your phony lawsuit fails or they drag it out like Lillian Hellman did when Mary McCarthy told the truth about that lying skank and that CNN breaks you. The law was used by Lillian Hellman and the scumbag "civil liberties" lawyer she hired to destroy her when she honestly exposed Hellman as a liar, I'd like to see if it can be used for the opposite,doubtful as I am considering people like you have profited so much from it.
