New CNN Motto: Make Better Mistakes

Number 1 item in the Friday Bizzarro news roundup:

I don’t know who wrote this but it definitely wins this week’s headline contest: Jeffrey Toobin holds his own in on-air return to CNN.

“I hope to be a better person off camera as well as on camera,” Toobin told anchor Alisyn Camerota in one of the more bizarre segments CNN has broadcast in recent memory.

Yeah, good luck with that you sad sack.

Which leads one to wonder: is there anything a liberal weenie can get permanently fired for? Honestly, even Toobin’s “explanatory” mea coupa interview, conducted so professionally by Alisyn, would have been considered salacious just a few short years ago. I suppose that’s Trump’s fault too: he drove the left so cray-cray that they all suffered a moral meltdown and descended into debauchery.

But here’s the kicker:

Toobin thought he had turned off the camera, which he called “deeply moronic and indefensible. But that is part of the story. I have spent the seven subsequent months, miserable months in my life, I can certainly confess, trying to be a better person.”

So before returning full time to news analysis for CNN Jeffrey was sent out to do his mea culpas for… forgetting to turn the camera off? I guess that could be Hunter’s offense/defense as well.

Alisyn wrapped up the most cringeworthy interview of the year (so far) with this astute comment:

“Many of us have really missed having your legal analysis to guide us on our programs, so let me be the first to welcome you back.”

I suspect that is true, given that the “programs” on CNN are hosted by a pack of mindless robotic jerkoffs.

And a Raj update, from last night:

All’s good here in MOTUSville. Raj was released yesterday around 1-ish and was home napping by 2. It’s still early but pain seems to be much easier to manage than with his first knee replacement. Apparently a good deal of knee #1 pain was due to existing leg nerve damage/pain from prior back injury/surgery that the subsequent surgery exacerbated. It’s gotten better but still hasn’t resolved completely, hence my anxiety going into surgery #2.

But so far just normal surgical pain with this one. Meanwhile his Internal Medicine Doc has weaned him off 3 other meds that he’s been taking for years and that seems to have addressed his ongoing gastrointestinal/heart arrhythmia issues. So Raj is heading into physical therapy in much better condition than he was for round one last November and we’re both guardedly optimistic. He believes he’ll live to ski again.

I’m certain that all the prayers offered up by the Mighty MOTI have helped him along the road to recovery and we are both very, very thankful to all. The world may be falling apart but in our little corner of it anyway things are finally turning around. Hoping that it spreads.
