Unless this was done since he was married, who gives a flying fuck. And even then, who gives a Flying Nun.
Here are the top ten reasons women on his staff slept with him. 10. He is rich. 9-2 who cares 1. He looks like Brad Pitt compared to Paul Shaffer
http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment...s-staffers-details-extortion/story?id=8728424 Apparently he had to give grand jury testimony regarding his behavior. It's unclear at this point when the multiples sexual liasons took place. What's great about this is how much fun Letterman has made of people like Mark Sanford, a fellow scuzball, or so it appears.
Well, he did live with his wife for 20 years prior to marriage, and his son isn't exactly an infant. Good for Dave. Living the moral high ground on air, but getting 'tang on the side with his employees. How elite of him.
Although I admit I didn't read the article thoroughly, we don't know how long ago the affairs took place. He has been doing that show (in both forms) for what, 30 years now? Has he been promoting family values? Has David been talking about his religious values, as a point of importance for his character? I would bet a lot of people find more issues with the hypocrisy of Republicans who railed against Clinton for being sleazy, when they themselves cheated on their spouses. Or those who railed against homosexuality, and themselves took part in homosexual activities (even if they claim to be 'cured' now). Was Dave claiming to be a man of virtue? Like I said, I think most people who had issues with the R's who recently got caught cheating on wives, or fucking dudes in bathrooms or snortin crack off the schlong of some dude (or whatever it is Ted Haggard did), did so because they were hypocrites. If the Rush Limbaughs, Sanfords, Haggard etc, would not have played the holier than thou card, not nearly as many people would care.
He made jokes about people caught in compromising positions regarding sex. Are you one of his sons? Why waste the time defending some lame jokes about him?
So...Dave acted like he didn't do something and condemned others for doing it? All he did was make fun of Sanford (actually, I don't know if he did. I assume he did). But you seem to be purposely forgetting the little fact that Sanford (and others mentioned in this thread) acted like their shit didn't stink, and that others who did these heinous acts were evil and pathetic. It's just slightly different if I was a single guy (or dating) and didn't mention anything about my religious beliefs or rile against those who cheated on their spouses (other than to make fun of them)...and if I was a married guy, who espoused my religious beliefs, and used it in my political dealings and I cheated on my wife (or fucked some guy, or used drugs, or acted like I would never cheat on my wife when I in fact did several times). They're both not commendable, but to act as though they're the same, or that "ha! Dave is getting what he deserves" is just lazy thinking. I'd expect this kind of shit from Glenn Beck or Bill O.
Apparently WorldWide Pants (who is who Dave works for, not CBS) passed out an email to the media saying that what Dave did, didn't actually violate any policy they have. Nor did they receive any complaints about what he did.
This is kinda what I had in mind when I posted this thread... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091003/ap_en_tv/us_tv_letterman_extortion
