I'd be willing to bet that some of the women were his subordinates.

In the real world, sleeping with a subordinate can get you quickly fired because it opens the door for sexual harassment lawsuits.

If you are the host of a talk show or the POTUS (Dem only), then "it's just sex" and it doesn't matter.

Wasn't Dave pretty hard on Bill O'Rielly when he went through this? (Pardon the pun)

My only problem with him is that he's never made me laugh once. I wish I could be that rich and famous for not being funny at all.

I think he gave the Palin family a lot of grief about sex and marriage. He sure is a bag o crap but he is a liberal and if they can stand behind Polanski they will surely stand behind him. After all, he is the VICTIM.
If I was the guy extorting him I would have just sold the story to the Enquirer instead. Not so much money but seeing the thing in print would have been worth it.

He probably will. Self-deprecating humor is nothing new to him. This is in stark contrast to the hyperbolic politicos who take themselves so seriously.

Legion is right. The issue is him sleeping with women (I assume) that work for him. In the military we call that fraternization, and you can go to jail for it. IMO that is the issue- not whether it is legally wrong but how it is morally wrong. What- the big shot couldn't find someone who wasn't financially dependent upon him to sleep with him? What a morally bankrupt jerk- and shame on the companies that continue to sponsor him.

Never a good idea for the boss to be banging the help.

Did Letterman "love" them while he was living/loving the mother of his kid. I doubt he had the same feelings as you. The company I work for fired both the man and woman they found having an affair, they were both married. The woman was in HR so I guess she thought it was ok, she banged a few of the guys.

Sanctimonious judgment from the "I would hit it" crowd.

He needs to lose his job and hope that Wal-Mart needs an extra greeter in Chula Vista. IMHO thats about all he deserves...
Damn! I ran down there to apply for a job but they really DON'T need a greeter. I am still sending out resumes.

at least we now know why Levi and the Palin girl didn't get married, and who the real father of the baby is.

Tell that to the ex MD/Boeing CEO (Stoneciper) who was fired for ethics violations for something similar to this.

Harry Stoneciper was my boss at McDonnell Douglas. Good guy but do not agree with his screwing around.

Letterman needs to go or be reprimanded somehow. Could care less how much money CBS makes off of him, its not right.
