Biased left-wing CNN legal analyst beats off on Zoom presidential exercise
The New Yorker said on Monday that it had suspended the staff writer Jeffrey Toobin after he exposed himself during a Zoom call last week with employees of the magazine and WNYC radio, according to two people familiar with the call.
Staff writers at The New Yorker and employees from WNYC, which jointly produce the magazine’s podcast, were on a joint video call prepping for election night coverage, according to Vice, which first reported the episode. During a pause in the call for breakout discussions, Mr. Toobin switched to a second call that was the video-call equivalent of phone sex, according to the two people familiar with the call, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Erick Woods Erickson says, “I am surprised Jeffrey Toobin has not blamed Russian interference on the erection.”
“For more than a decade, Jeffrey Toobin has been a partisan progressive who has used his perch as CNN’s supposedly objective legal analyst to assail critics, conservatives, and anyone he disagrees with. … Toobin has exposed himself (pun intended) as a not very original thinker with a nasty streak. …
“The bigger issue though is this one — a decade ago, Toobin had an affair with the daughter of a colleague. He got her pregnant, pressured her to have an abortion, refused a DNA test when she refused, and then tried to fight paying child support.
“The media was perfectly fine employing the guy.”
Tony is no “Tiger”. And his sidekick Barnes is nothing but an agitator.

“Evers instead has allowed Republicans to cast him as weak and ineffective.”
Allowed? Horse $#!t! Ichabod Evers is the everLUVIN poster-child for weak-n-ineffective.
Anyone that helped get him elected should be summarily shamed to the fullest extent of the blogosphere!!

I worked to get Evers elected and am proud of it. Maybe if the right wing whinners worked as hard as we did they would have got those 36,000 names they needed.

Nailed it Mr. Gotch; problem is, shame is not a primary response among those of limited thoughtful vigor, skepticism, or curiosity [& an irreparable/missing bullsh!t detector?]. I would not expect to find electorate of the Evers-Barnes-Kaul-Parisi-Mahoney-Conway-Progressive Dane stripe among consumers/contributors of BPW; shame can be a function of exposure to and acceptance of truth and empirical evidence. Dogged adherence to ignorance obviates any instance of shamefulness.

From the article in Politico concerning WI’s pencil-necked Ichabod wannabe:

And while Evers is still above water in polls, his approval rating slid 6 points after his handling of the Kenosha unrest.
“Is he governing? Because it doesn’t feel like it,” said one Democratic party activist, who requested anonymity to express his frustrations with Evers candidly.

And… AOC comments that once the Sniffer gets the WH, he'll be easy to turn:
Fox: AOC says Dems can 'likely' push Biden in 'more progressive direction' if elected."

And now he’s fired (former) DWD Secretary Frostman. Curiously, the second in command at DWD, who presents as a fully-melanated man, is not stepping in. Instead we have a person who presents as a, HORRORS, non-melanated woman formerly 2nd in command at DOC. Things that make you go, “hmm”.
