One of the media elite's most whispered-about scandals went public Wednesday when married CNN correspondent Jeffrey Toobin squared off with a woman who says he's the father of her baby.

Yale-educated lawyer Casey Greenfield - the daughter of eminent CBS News analyst Jeff Greenfield - had a chilly faceoff with Toobin in Manhattan Family Court.

The ex-lovers barely spoke in the waiting area before joining their lawyers behind closed doors with a court referee to hash out custody and money issues.

Toobin, who glumly sat several rows away from Casey Greenfield before the hearing, is said to have privately admitted to fathering the child, believed to have been born last summer, sources said.

It's so enjoyable to watch obnoxious media-elite leftists battle each other. It couldn't happen to nicer people.

Is Tubin the UFO whacko guy?

[JeffChrz]

So, a supposedly-smart person (a lawyer who graduated from Yale—that’s why I wrote “supposedly”) took a look at him and thought, “Oh, yeah, I got to get me some of that!”? Was E.J. Dionne out of town?

Toobin still married to his “college sweetheart”, anyone heard?

[Radagast the Fool]

They all deserve each other.

I just feel sorry for the child.

Toobin... is said to have privately admitted to fathering the child

Sounds like he'll make a great father.

"I need to have my gaydar checked."

I hear ya'. I was convinced he was a homosexual since the OJ trial.

"Is Tubin the UFO whacko guy?"

I don't think so, although I'm not sure. Toobin has been a fairly well-known legal talking-head since OJ. His star really rose during the impeachment coverage. He's been a writer for the New Yorker at least for a dozen years, perhaps longer and with CNN for about the same time, or again longer. He's a purely orthodox liberal, while trying to assume the guise of impartiality especially when commenting on SCOTUS decisions. And of course, he's an arrogant little *$&%^%.

OMG your post made me roar out loud!

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

People spend more time finding a winter coat than they do considering the DNA of their children.....Look at him or her people - do you really want your children to have that nose, or those ears?

[Huck]

Have they never heard of wrapping the rascal?

What's wrong with these people? Maybe they just assume any "mistakes" will be aborted?

[dps.inspect]

I thought toobin’ was something ya do during summer on crystal, spring fed rivers.

[xsmommy]

oh i don't think he's hideous, but certainly the “Oh, yeah, I got to get me some of that!” factor is missing! LOL!

liberals are liberals because they wish to embrace a self centered free swinging life without guilt.

At least conservatives feel guilty when they screw up.
