John Rogers is a TV and filmwriter, standup comic and former bartender. His comments on Dershowitz come with the authority of having served him at a Harvard Square restaurant (now defunct and sorely missed by me and my family). A lengthy anecdote about a Saudi prince which precedes this conclusion explains the epithet.
Kung Fu Monkey: “Mr. Dershowitz, I don’t care that you’re famous, or you teach at Harvard, or you write books, and I’m just a hack, the literary equivalent of a workman bartender. This is America, which makes you the prince of absolutely fucking nobody.
This is your bartender telling you — get the hell out of public discourse. We don’t need a new batch of finely crafted amorality: we have enough naturally occuring filth to drown in as it is.” [thanks to walker]
