I always liked Toobin on CNN - he was knowledgeable and funny.

But, he royally fcked up - on camera. It makes no difference if it was a short Zoom or a long Zoom meeting. None whatsoever.

Are you really suggesting that men are such slaves to their dicks that he just had to whip it out during a 2 hour meeting? Really?

That's pretty insulting to the males of the species.
