      The guy obviously has some personal issues of great gravity.  I hope he is able to resolve them.

      My reason for bringing this up is that nearly every CNN pundit and analyst has psychological and personal issues and most have no business on television.  While Toobin`s issues are psychiatric, guys like Stelter, Cuomo, Lemon and many others have all been caught in embarrassing situations, making ridiculous comments on air that needed network rebuke or other issues off camera.  CNN is a storied network but no longer worthy of being on cable news and the ratings reflect that fact.  Zucker is definitely worthy of being the head of this “klown car” network.

      This has to be one of the most idiotic moves on Zoom I have ever seen, and to have it come from an on-camera TV personality is just the icing on the cake.

      I have nothing against masturbating.  As my uncle used to say:  Only two types of guys don’t do it…liars and fools.

      How do you figure Toobin has hidden his hairy palms all these years?

      FWIW, PL, everything has a time and place.  Toobin`s time and place was a tad, actually more than a tad, inappropriate, in the middle of a zoom conference call with network colleagues.  Not exactly recommended biz school protocol.

      To make light of a bad situation, I actually hate hairy palms.  I have approximately 30 palm trees on my primary residence property and they are a pain in the ass to keep trimmed.  They may look great in movies but the cost and effort to maintain them is astronomical and not worth the effort.  Give me a deciduous tree any day of the week.

        Rocky, yes, time and place. I think Toobin should be fired for showing such poor judgement and frankly inflicting discomfort on co workers.

        I’m not at all surprised that your hairy palms are a maintenance nightmare.

        The real question is have you gone blind yet?  Sounds like you are dealing with the palms ok. How’s your vision?

      Why not let them go au naturel?

      Hairy Palms? Sounds like a low rent porn flick where Clint meets John Holmes. . . .

      Finally, something I know quite a bit about…  In my prime, a “spike” was an agreed upon masturbation unit of measure equivalent to twice per day!  Woody Allen said it best in one of his movies, “Don’t knock masturbation; it’s sex with someone you love”.  I’m not certain but I think the blood pressure meds have slowed up the little guy a bit. The good news is my hairy palms are easier to keep groomed these days. 😎

      Palm tree maintenance is no joke.

      Also, this is, given what we know, the likeliest explanation.
