If Senator whats his name, or CEO anybody was sleeping with their underlings it would be called sexual harassment and time to retire to pursue other interests.But Letterman makes light of it in his on show "confession" and the audience seems to find it all humorous.I am no prude but IMO that guy is classless.

I also am no prude and don't condone affairs and "sleeping around" but, this is a man in the world of show business where one does not expect anyone to be faithfully married to or faithfully dating or in a long term relationship. Rare are the people who do marry and settle down with one person. You can almost count on one hand the number of "famous" people who have done so. Fame and the money that comes with it seems to corrupt virtually everyone that partakes of it. Something goes screwy in their brain once they enter that world.I don't really care about her personal life. He only recently married and that was well after the birth of his child. The guy is OLD and has missed out on a lot of the joys of a long term relationship. Sure, he has money but that only goes so far in contributing to the quality of life.My 2 cents anywayDave

Politicians can be asked to leave, but they don't have to. They leave because they don't want to mess up the real payday: the private sector job after leaving office. Look at the South Carolina governor for an example...he's still there.CEO's usually leave after they put on the golden parachute. If the company's stock holders think they are worth the trouble, then they don't ask them to go.This last example is where Letterman fits. He makes them more than this will cost them.Going public with the extortion plot is now in the public relations playbook. It make the cheater look like the victim. Works like a charm.See what I mean: http://latimesblogs.latimes.co....html

Link to Stephanie Birkitt a.k.a. "The Victim" in November 2008 Late Show clip --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...edded#Letterman began as a mediocre-talent weatherman on Channel 13 in Indianapolis in the 1970's. When nobody noticed his alleged 'talent', he decided to move to Californina, because small-town, narrow-minded, conservative Hoosiers didn't 'get' his comedy. Eventually he got an appearance on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and the rest is history. Not terribly funny history.CBS is still the spineless soulless network that allowed Rather to fabricate the National Guard documents, keeps Julie Chen employed because she is (now) married to Les Moonves (President of CBS) and keeps Letterman employed, apparently because everyone else at the network is banging the hired hands too.
