Pierce: Of Course Trump's Impeachment Defense Features Alan Dershowitz and...Ken Starr
Of Course Trump's Impeachment Defense Features Alan Dershowitz and...Ken Starr
This team is something to behold.

History, Mark Twain is said to have commented, doesn’t repeat itself, but it does rhyme. (There’s no real proof he said it, but it sounds like him, so we should let him have it.) However, occasionally, history does put on a fake mustache and head to a comedy club for open mic night....
What is there to be said? Ken Starr, the bed-sniffing yahoo who, after spending millions to wreck dozens of lives in Washington and in Arkansas, could come up with nothing more than a handful of blowjobs, which he read into the record like a pre-teen reading The Dirty Parts of his parents’s books to his friends. Later, he went on to ignore allegations of criminal sexual assault by athletes while chancellor at Baylor University.
He is joined by Dershowitz, once part of O.J. Simpson’s dream team, in what has to be one last ungainly dive for the spotlight. (And marrying the O.J. trial to the Clinton penis-hunt may occasion a dangerous singularity in 1990s television voyeurism.) Robert Ray was Starr’s successor as yahoo-in-chief and, as recently as this week, went on Fox to rip the impeachment process, which is probably how he got the gig. Come to think of it, the Dersh is a regular there, too.
Somewhere, Jeanine Pirro sits by her silent telephone and weeps.

so adroitly that they never know what hit them. 
Skin a Republican in three paragraphs. 
Damn, I am so jealous of Charlie Pierce. How does he think these things up? I'm a pretty good writer (published), and I can turn a phrase from time to time, but I can never mix words together to get such brilliance. I remember when he called Joe and Mike "Squint and the Meat Puppet."
Thanks, mcar.
