| Toobin relaunch raises questions -- where's the line? "What the hell were you thinking?" That's what CNN's Alisyn Camerota asked a sheepish Jeffrey Toobin, back on the cable news airwaves after several months of probation for an unfortunate incident involving a Zoom call with his New Yorker colleagues and Toobin's unzipped pants.
It was part of an awkward segment on CNN Newsroom Thursday, as Toobin's apparent penance required to resume his legal analyst gig was to sit down with Camerota to discuss his "deeply moronic and indefensible" risqué Zoom escapade.
He's very sorry, Toobin said, and he's spent the last few "miserable months" trying to "be a better person." Now he's back on the air, ready to provide legal commentary for CNN again, where the powers-that-be apparently feel that his punishment fit the crime. That wasn't a unanimous opinion, however. The chattering hordes of blue checks on Twitter weren’t inclined to grant any additional grace to the guy who has made “zoom dick” trend twice this millennium (and that’s two times too many) and neither was Mediaite's Sarah Rumpf, who questioned why Toobin was viewed as so irreplaceable by CNN. Can’t the standard be a tiny bit higher?
On the other, err, hand, Fox News' Greg Gutfeld said it "took balls" for Toobin to confess his sins on live television.
