The Toobin Two-fer

Seems he has a little problem keeping his "bishop" out of polite company. First, from Vice - Motherboard:

New Yorker Suspends Jeffrey Toobin for Masturbating on Zoom Call
The New Yorker has suspended reporter Jeffrey Toobin for masturbating on a Zoom video chat between members of the New Yorker and WNYC radio last week. Toobin says he did not realize his video was on.

“I made an embarrassingly stupid mistake, believing I was off-camera. I apologize to my wife, family, friends and co-workers,” Toobin told Motherboard.

“I believed I was not visible on Zoom. I thought no one on the Zoom call could see me. I thought I had muted the Zoom video,” he added.

Like all faithful aparatchiks, he will dissapear from the public eye for six months and will then be re-hired in a better job. All the while drawing his salary. This is not his first rodeo - from the New York Daily News, May 8th, 2010:

Baby drama! CNN star Jeffrey Toobin offered Casey Greenfield money for abortion
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."

Toobin's wife should have divorced him then and there.  Other mistresses? That was when Toobin was the rising star of CNN and was making decent money.  Now, he is a third-line hack doing conference calls.  Talk about someone's fifteen minutes...
