    “Toobin isn’t just on CNN’s airwaves again — he was out mixing and mingling with his colleagues Tuesday night,” Politico Playbook wrote Wednesday after CNN brought Toobin back as their chief legal analyst Thursday following an eight-month absence.

    Toobin was in Manhattan with a host of CNN bigwigs for a book party celebrating anchor Brian Stelter’s newly released tome on former President Donald Trump.

    OK, the whole ordeal is a giant, skeevy mess, but the guy isn't allowed to have friends anymore? What a scoop!

    I’m puzzled that Toobin is back at CNN but I imagine the network figured it would have to pay out millions if it fired him.

    I’ve been an advocate for a masturbation room at TV stations. Just duck in for a few an hour before a newscast. Male or female. Doesn’t matter. I promise you. The on-air product will be better.

    My work is far, FAR better if I’m within three hours of a magnificent moment. The girlfriend understands this and can accommodate before the 10 pm.

    Bonus points if the room has a La-Z-Boy? Ratings would go through the roof.

    Is it possible CNN is paying Toobin millions? If that is true, the 24-hour cable/satellite opinion channels are more fucked up than I realize.

    Toobin is a legal analyst. Which means his contract will be as favorable as anyone on TV. He knows the loophole.

    The question is... would this be cause? Also, did this happen at home or the office? I think it was at home.

    Precedent. Charissa Thompson from FOX sports. She kept her job after a video of her masturbating in her office leaked.

    Side note. It is true art.

    I bet Toobin is probably 700-800k range.
