Alan Dershowitz Would Like To Remind You That No One On Martha's Vineyard Likes Alan Dershowitz

For a guy who complains about being canceled, he sure seems to get a lot of national media exposure just to grumble about being canceled.

Every summer, Alan Dershowitz takes time out of his Martha’s Vineyard respite to inform any media outlet willing to have him that no one likes him on Martha’s Vineyard. It’s a beloved annual tradition right up there with Groundhog Day, or the State Fair, or your colonoscopy.

This year’s edition of the running of the bullshit found its way to Greta Van Susteren’s Newsmax program where our tragic protagonist laments the selection at the local book fair.

And so Dershowitz continues positioning himself as a man of principle standing up to injustice, while simultaneously complaining that the folks he blames for those injustices should invite him to more cocktail parties.

Dershowitz feels that he’s shunned for representing Trump in the first impeachment where he articulated his warmed over take on Nixon’s “when the president does it, that means it’s not illegal.” But heaping all the blame on the Dershowitz Doctrine undersells the resort town’s patience for a resident crowing that Jeffrey Epstein should’ve gotten even lighter punishment, or helping the MyPillow guy with loony religious freedom claims, or signing onto Big Lie claims in Arizona so egregious that he got sanctioned.

Maybe the Martha’s Vineyard Book Fair thought it might be tough selling legal commentary from a guy who just got excoriated and sanctioned by a federal judge?
