[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Toobin wrote a book saying, essentially, that what Patty Hearst did after being kidnapped and raped at 19 were demonstrations of her own free will, and that her Presidential pardons show how very privileged was.

Middle-aged guy whacking off while Zooming is just an oopsie, like pressuring his girlfriend to have an abortion and who knows what else. [/quote]

He’s utterly disgusting and wholly without character. He’s also insipid and self-satisfied and isn’t that interesting or astute as a commentator. In a world with Dahlia Lithwick or Elie Mystal, we don’t need Toobin the douche. As much or more to the point, he’s nowhere near as talented as the colleagues he assaulted at The New Yorker. The call wasn’t over. He isn’t worth half a Jane Meyer or a Jelani Cobb. He SHOULD be jobless. [/quote]

I agree with all of this except the Elie Mystal part. That guy may be a good writer or commentator, but he is not a good lawyer or good at legal analysis. I still remember this awful Good Samaritan argument he made. Just embarrassing.
