1. I assume because of his Zoom incident?

If so, that's unfortunate. I really like Toobin (at least when he was on CNN) and I would hope that he could be given a second chance, especially if he had been with that organization for decades.

5. He should not be given a second chance.

[cwydro]

17. Thank you.

Amazing some here defending him.

The same posters who’d be demanding termination if it was Tucker Carlson or some other Fox fuckhead.

31. +1000000

There is no excuse for exposing yourself to your co-workers, online or otherwise. If you stay professional during work hours, i.e. wear pants and only attend one Zoom meeting at a time, Toobin's so-called mistake doesn't happen. It's just not that difficult to avoid flashing people under normal circumstances. What he did was not normal.

7. From his wiki...

"On October 19, 2020, Toobin was suspended from The New Yorker after he exposed himself and masturbated during an election scenario exercise conducted via Zoom video call between New Yorker and WNYC radio staffers.[14][15] CNN said Toobin "has asked for some time off while he deals with a personal issue, which we have granted." Toobin, who contends the incident was unintentional, issued a statement: "I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers."[16] The next month, he was fired from The New Yorker, after an investigation.[17]"


Pulling your pud in front of your co workers should be a firing offense. At a minimum that exposure of your penis in a work setting is sexual harassment.

2. He did this to himself

Idiot. Not a word of remorse?

[Mme. Defarge]

10. Ouch!

Was that pun intentional? 😳😂

[Kaleva]

32. That is the definition of masturbation.

[True Dough]

3. Maybe he's pulling a fast one?!?

[madinmaryland]

23. It's a very sticky situation. No Santorum though.

[True Dough]

26. If it went on long enough, it would result in...

[gay texan]

4. Somethings jerky here n/t

[jcgoldie]

6. Maybe they are just yanking his chain...

[JI7]

8. How about CNN ?

[TexasBushwhacker]

20. I wondered about that too n/t

[Earthshine2]

27. CNN has been moot about this from the start.

I have not heard his name mentioned once since it happened.

[torius]

9. If Trump did that on camera

He would be hailed as a hero by his base.

[zackymilly]

12. With those tiny hands?

[Ferrets are Cool]

15. Tiny hands for a tiny...

I can't even finish it. No pun intended...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Maybe HE CAN'T FINISH IT!!

If you catch my..........er.......drift!

[Skittles]

30. I bet that's not all that is tiny

[Chili]

11. too bad

He wrote an excellent book about Clinton's impeachment - very detailed, yet easy to read.

His commentaries were also good - he will be missed.

Duh, though. Sheesh.

[Blue Owl]

13. For tucking in his shirt?

[Ferrets are Cool]

16. This

Only repugs can tuck their shirts in on camera.

[Sneederbunk]

14. This will give him more time to spend with himself.

Is David Pecker hiring?

[Botany]

18. His is human and made a mistake. So what? I woinder how many DUers get frisky thoughts when ...

... posting here?


I think it was Jeffery Toobin who admitted he was very wrong in pushing the
HRC and her emails story. Nobody else did.

[irisblue]

19. Frisky thoughts generally stay in your head, penis in hand in front of coworkers is different

[Raine]

21. Thinking and actually doing are two different things. nt

[Roland99]

24. "Gone Toobin...when going commando just isn't enough"

[gulliver]

25. He must have lost it. He was in a very high pressure line of work.

I'm not sure exactly what he did, but I think it's possible he just burned out and did something nuts that he couldn't help doing.

[zackymilly]

28. You said 'nuts' heh heh heh heh. nt

[gulliver]

34. Haha

[sarcasmo]

29. The New Yorker didn't buy the, "it was an accident" excuse? LMFAO

[Kaleva]

33. He here who hasn't jerked off during a Zoom conference meeting may cast the first stone
