CNN Gives Jeffrey Toobin Another Whack at It

Last Sunday, Anthony Weiner got a sympathetic profile in the NYT. Yesterday, Katie Hill was the subject of a puff piece in the LA Times, which spent 1,300 words painting her as a victim of “revenge porn” while carefully tiptoeing around the fact that she resigned from Congress for having sex with her staffers. Every other week, Al Franken trends on Twitter because Democrats are still angry he ended his political career by groping women and they want him to come back. And of course, Bill “I Did Not Have Sexual Relations With That Woman” Clinton is welcome at any Democratic Party gathering at any time.

The Dems claim to be the party of women, and they made such a big deal out of #MeToo, yet they keep allowing these predators and perverts back into the fold. Is there a sex pest the libs won't welcome back with open arms and legs for telling them what they want to hear?

Nope!

CAUTION: What you’re about to watch may cause you to cringe harder than you’ve ever cringed in your life. I enjoy a lot of cringe comedy, like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Nathan for You and the various Alan Partridge shows, but I can barely get through this. It is awful. It’s just wrong.

In touching interview, Jeffrey Toobin admits 'I got off easy'.

[Rummyfan]

The jokes practically write themselves!

An unnamed CNN executive told WaPo: “I don’t think that one terrible mistake should define a person or ruin their employment opportunities for life.”

Unfortunately, that generosity of spirit doesn’t extend to anybody outside the CNN bubble. If you’re a random guy who makes a meme of Trump beating up the CNN logo, the network will devote their full resources to tracking you down and threatening to ruin your life.

If you’re an old lady with a Facebook page supporting Trump, CNN will send a “journalist” to stand on your lawn and berate you.

And of course, if you’re a high-school student in a MAGA hat who smirks at a Native American dude in front of the Lincoln Memorial, CNN will make you the villain of their top story for a week. They’ll try to crush you for wearing the wrong slogan.

But if you work for CNN, you can yank your crank during a work Zoom call and they’ll just say, “Ehhhh, big deal. It could happen to anybody!” It’s good to be a Democrat.

[sauropod]

He has no shame.

[MortMan]

I suppose they want him to be a staff reporter?

Aye, there’s the rub!

[SteveH]

It will be a challenge but I am certain that Toobin will rise to the occasion

[Pearls Before Swine]

“...she resigned from Congress for having sex with her staffers..”

Not an automatic disqualifier. Longtime gay Massachusetts rep Gary Studds (his name, really!) was boffing pageboys, got censured for using a 17-year old, and still served for 24 years (12 terms).

And don’t get me started on Barney Fwank (sp).

[I-ambush]

Toobin said the TikTok incident wouldn’t end his career because he didn’t finish the job. He knew he had to come on air again.
(This is one of THOSE threads)

[Fresh Wind]

It will be a challenge but I am certain that Toobin will rise to the occasion...

...and you can take that to the wank.

? Come again??

[ClearCase_guy]

From an HR perspective, this guy is a real handfull.

The question mark and everything after it can safely be removed from 99.9% of links. You link gives twitter a referral credit every time it’s clicked. Substack thinks people are clicking a link on twitter when they see that url and will put more effort into posting things on twitter because they think it’s getting good results.

[srmanuel]

Toobin really does keep whacking away at the problem, he may go blind if he keeps whacking so often...

[rktman]

Just stroking his, uh, ego. Greasing his palm?

[arthurus]

Leftists, including leftist women believe that powerful leftist men should have all the women they want. The original Communist attitude toward women's equality was what Lenin called "a community of women" which was defined as the sexually equal and total availability of all women to men. of course, once a particular group of men had power it became restricted to the availability of women to the powerful men. Leftist women are still biologically females and regardless of their declarations they are in the aggregate drawn to be wives or equivalent to powerful men. Their stated beliefs that powerful men should have whatever women they want is projection. They want the powerful men to want them.

[ronniesgal]

Barney Frank! He is just repulsive.

[NobleFree]

You left out his subtitle: “Obviously he’s got some pull”

[Pollard]

In case you forgot or didn’t know, this is only the second-worst thing Jeffrey Toobin has ever done. He once had an extramarital affair with Casey Greenfield, the daughter of his former CNN colleague Jeff Greenfield, and fathered a child with her. Then he tried to get her to have an abortion, denied being the father, and refused to pay child support until she took him to court. The boy was born in 2009, so by now he’s old enough to start realizing who and what his dad is.

CNN allows Toobin back even though he spanked his monkey on a live
Zoom Call. CNN is low life.

[Michael.SF.]

So Toobin is making a come back.
