October surprise

Agreed. Calling him a 6 might be piling on.

 

They’re piling on:

 

That is a hoot!

 

More like Cocktober Surprise.

 

Toobin Snake Boogie?

 

Toobin lubin'!

 

So which of his ex-colleagues at the New Yorker gets assigned the unenviable task of calling him to ask the big unanswered question: "So, which one of us were ya jacking off to, Jeff?"

 

In its way this is of course absurdly comical.

And Toobin's private shame and public humiliation are of a kind only seen in terrible terrible dreams. The actor's nightmare. Naked at the high school assembly. That sort of thing.

But it's also a pretty stark example of a pathology. And in the current moment, punishable as a very serious workplace harassment violation.

Remnick has to do something.

Gotta fire him. Retaining him hurts the brand and hurts his colleagues at the New Yanker.

 

Few people would be this excited by a nuts-and-bolts conversation about the election.

I guess he’s just one of those campaign strategy wanks.
