Sunday could be a bittersweet first Mother's Day for Casey Greenfield.
Greenfield is a pretty, ginger-haired, Yale-educated lawyer and writer who last March gave birth to a love child. The baby's father is married CNN star and best-selling New Yorker writer Jeffrey Toobin. (Casey's father is esteemed political pundit Jeff Greenfield.) Ever since we broke the news of her pregnancy, Casey has remained silent about the baby drama. But now some of her friends are fed up with what they claim is less-than-gallant behavior on Toobin's part.
Greenfield, now 36, was in her 20s when she fell for Toobin, now 49, even though he was wed to Amy McIntosh, the Harvard sweetheart he'd married in 1986 and who gave him two children.
"Jeff and Casey saw each other off and on over the years," says one source. "She was married to someone else for two years. After her divorce, she started seeing Jeff again. He said he was going to leave his wife for her. But, by then, Casey had begun to distrust him. She suspected he had several other mistresses."
In 2008, when Greenfield became pregnant, and when she told Toobin the news, he offered her "money if she'd have an abortion," says a source. He also allegedly offered to pay for her to have another child later via a sperm donor.
"When Casey wouldn't have an abortion, Jeff told her she was going to regret it, that she shouldn't expect any help from him," claims another source.
Greenfield underwent a risky DNA test while pregnant, but Toobin didn't provide his sample and stopped talking to her, according to sources. On the day she gave birth, Greenfield e-mailed Toobin, inviting him to meet his son, Rory. A source says Toobin didn't reply.
Toobin ultimately cooperated with a DNA test that proved he was Rory's dad. In February, a Manhattan Family Court judge ordered him to pay child support. When he refused to pay the full amount, say sources, Greenfield's lawyer threatened to notify his employers and garnish his wages; Toobin then paid up.
Toobin now sees the 13-month-old lookalike heir. "His wife, Amy, comes with them to the park," says a source. He's said to have asked to spend every other weekend with Rory.
"Casey isn't convinced he really wants to serve as a dad," says a friend. "It may be legal maneuvering."
Attorneys for Toobin and Greenfield didn't respond to requests for comment.
"It's been a hard couple of years for Casey," says a friend. "She's a single mom. But her family couldn't be more supportive. The baby is such a joy for everyone."
Hell, this is a resume’ enhancer in the MSM.

What an ass-wipe !!
He is. But she had no problem sleeping with a married guy.
What did she expect?
Ah, yes. The people who want to preach their “morality” to the rest of us act like deadbeat dads behind closed doors. No wonder their offspring are so screwed up.
Which one?
What a pair of sluts.
I hope the child survives the parent's incredible immaturity.
CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin made ‘shockingly sexual’ proposition to well-known media figure, she claims
February 21st 2010
Jeffrey Toobin’s baby mama drama continues.
Even as he deals with his estranged mistress’ claim that he fathered her child, the married CNN legal analyst, 49, is denying accounts that his eye started wandering years ago.
Long before he hooked up with Casey Greenfield, 36, the fetching attorney whose father is famed CBS News analyst Jeff Greenfield, he is said to have made a play for a well-known media figure.
The woman, who met Toobin about 15 years ago, contends he hit on her repeatedly, using some shockingly sexual come-on lines.
“I was at a party in Washington,” the woman tells us. “He came up behind me and whispered in my ear ...”
This being a family newspaper, we can’t repeat what Toobin allegedly told the woman he’d like to do to her. But the woman recalls, “I didn’t even know who he was. I couldn’t believe my ears. It was so disgusting. At the time, I never even knew people did that.
“I said, ‘What did you just say?’ He just chuckled.”
Though she thought about walking away, she did entertain a conversation with Toobin.
“Later,” she says, “he followed me to my hotel room. He tried to invite himself in. He said, ‘You know you want it.’ I said, ‘No, actually I don’t.’”
The woman says Toobin “really chased me for a while. He called me at the office and left several sick messages.” Again, we can’t repeat them. Suffice it to say, he allegedly reiterated his first overture, only more graphically. Says the woman, “It was so vile.” She assures us the episode went nowhere.
Meanwhile, another source claims that Toobin definitely seemed to enjoy his research in 2008, when he visited the Miami Velvet swingers club while reporting a New Yorker profile about political consultant Roger Stone.
Toobin wrote in that piece about how he visited the sex club because that was where Stone said he’d first heard that former Gov. Eliot Spitzer had a hooker habit.
What Toobin didn’t write, according to a witness, was that he stayed at the club well after Stone had left.
“There were a couple of women there who recognized him,” says the source. “One said, loudly, ‘It’s Jeffrey Toobin from CNN!’” Even so, says the source, “I saw him checking out the group room, where naked couples were having sex on mattresses on the floor. He was standing on the periphery. He had his clothes on, but he seemed to be into watching.”
Toobin has been married to his Harvard sweetheart, Amy McIntosh, 51, since 1986. They have two teenage children. Last week, he was still wearing his wedding ring when he appeared in Manhattan Family Court to deal with custody and support issues related to the child he allegedly fathered with Greenfield last year.
Toobin’s lawyer, Patricia Ann Grant, responded: “We do not intend to dignify plainly fabricated claims with a response.”
May they all starve to death. I don’t give a crap, anymore. Screw ‘em.
Updated Feb 26 2010 – Jeff Toobin may have tried hitting on Judith Regan. This deduction was based on the fact that Regan was known to have gossiped about Toobin in the past. Some reporters added two and two together to deduce Regan and Toobin have some bad blood between them because of some thing.
Jun 12, 2009 ... CNN analyst Jeff Toobin thought Bristol Palin was “fair game.”
Toobin:
She has decided to become a public figure on this issue. She’s been on all the talk shows. So, I think a joke about Bristol Palin is actually fair game. You know, if you want to be private- fine, be private. But she’s not a private person anymore.”

CNN’s Toobin Complains Stupak Amendment ‘Marginalizes’ Aching Need for Abortions
CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin fretted in a column in the November 23, 2009 edition of The New Yorker that “abortion, as the academics like to say, is being marginalized,” and even turned his ire on some in his left-wing camp, including President Obama. He accused “many modern pro-choice Democrats,” including the President, of ceding “the moral high ground” to pro-lifers.
