And award for the best line ever dropped on Jeffrey Tobin:

'Noted Zoom onanist and sometime legal expert'

Put some ice on that Jeffrey or it will swell up ... in a bad way!

Another years membership paid for Taibbi!

What a lot of people missed is the context. The lead in to the Toobin segment was, "And now, for some legal commentary on this matter, is our legal expert, Jeffrey Toobin, who has matters well in hand."

By the way, I think "toobin" has become a verb in some circles.

Kinda like santorum became a noun.

I forgot about that.

Thank you, kind soul, for brightening my otherwise dreary day.

Wait a minute. Didn't Toobin lose his job at fancy magazine for jerking off on an office zoom call? You can get on the freaking sex offenders list for pissing in a freaking alley. Now he is on CNN? Is that like, like hires like? We need to close the circle, jerk?

This **** is getting too bizarre for fiction.

On the bright side, have confirmation life imitates art.

You must know the rule: 'If anything exists, however bizarre, someone has made porn out of it, and it's on the Internet.' Maybe Zoom, Jitsi, Citrix, etc., should consider promoting group-sex enhancements more overtly.

Matt includes a priceless zinger like that in almost every column.
