Jeffrey Toobin – caught on his own camera doing some, er, internal polling earlier this week – doesn’t have the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All of you who are complaining that he <\/em>was seen, non-social distancing, during a work meeting – you <\/em>are the ones with the problems<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that\u2019s also what everyone is going to remember about Jeffrey Toobin, I\u2019m afraid. But that says more about us than it does about him.<\/p>

According to a\u00a02016 survey<\/a>, 95% of men and 81% of women in America have masturbated. Yet in the same poll, over half of respondents said they felt uncomfortable talking about it.<\/p>

So we joke about it, instead, which relieves our anxieties but reinforces the taboo. Witness the outpouring of juvenile humor over the past two days about \u201cToobin his own horn,\u201d his \u201csticky situation,\u201d and so on.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Well, there was the little matter that he was “going on his third date with Rachel Maddow” or “universal gun registration” or “nationwide mask mandates” [or whomever it is that “progressive” guys think about while in flagrante solo<\/em>] during a work meeting<\/em>. On camera<\/em>. A nation full of people who’ve been stuck on Teams or Zoom meetings (if we’re lucky) for seven months and joking about people not wearing pants “to work” are suddenly seeing how our self-appointed “elites” spend their time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So of course <\/em>you’re the one with the problem. <\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
