Have to admit...the prime time Leno show doesn't cut it in this house. Cindy pretty much selects the TV programming here. Probably because I consider most of it to be garbage.

Stephanie Birkitt, a former assistant to David Letterman, has been in the spotlight before — but never like this. The 34-year-old New Hampshire native is the unwitting link between the Late Show host and his alleged would-be extortionist, CBS News producer Robert "Joe" Halderman. Widespread reports say Birkitt had a romantic relationship with Letterman before his marriage, while she was working as his personal assistant and appearing regularly on his program, interviewing celebrities and reporting from the Winter Olympics, among other duties. Until recently, she dated the divorced Halderman and lived in his Connecticut home, where Halderman allegedly got ahold of her diary, e-mails and other evidence of her relationship with Letterman.

The dude pleaded not guilty. I would like to see how he is going to get out of this. LOL
An unidentified attorney for Letterman subsequently took the evidence to the prosecutor's office, which set up an undercover sting at a hotel. Three additional meetings took place, which were recorded by the attorney under the guidance of New York police detectives. On Sept. 30, Halderman was presented with a phony check for $2 million, which he deposited in his bank account.

In a pefect world somewhere Todd Palin should have been able to jump Letterman in an alley when he was making all his perverted so called JOKES, about a girl that got knocked up. SFW? As Letterman would say he made that family a punching bag. Old Todd could have been kicking his ass and telling him, yea man I'm just a backwoods hick but I'm now one of those goons you acuse so many you dislike of being. How do you like that now you weasley class clown? Never had your ass kicked before have you? Talked your way out of it every time didn't you? Thought so a-hole. Now you're just a bitter old doosh. Exit stage left.

Man I'm scaring myself. Where is Kracht22?

Thanks Paul. That was exactly what I was thinking. This is barely news, and definitely not worth getting into a highchair fit over.

There's one more angle for you to consider when you're talking about crime in Letterman's situation.

If he made unwelcome advances toward women who worked for him and they thought they might lose their job if they didn't reciprocate, that puts him in a very bad place.

110 percent agree with you.. im not sure if he is accused of it.. but i havent heard anything about that... i think they would have ex staff and current staff members testify if it came to it... we'll be seeing this alot on the news...almost to much of it just like michael jacksons death... haha..

So was Halderman just pissed that Letterman landed on Plymouth Rock before he did?

A comment I saw on a blog:
______________
Maybe the reason Letterman had to reveal all of this is because there's more to the story than just having sex with your staff. Publicity-wise, he probably did the right thing by telling the story himself. Maybe there was coercion or sexual harrassment involved or maybe the women who said no were never promoted. Maybe his involvement(s) created a hostile work environment. I just think there is something more to this. But Letterman need not worry. I'm sure he and his family will be shown the same privacy and sympathy that he showed Sarah Palin's un-wed teenage daughter.

Given his choices in women, it is clear that Dave does not enjoy a challenge.

NY law is pretty clear on this stuff, if you hold a supervisory role over (staff)subordinates(loosely defined) and you are diddling the any staff member or engaged in sexual harrassment, you definitely have a problem with the law(civil or criminal, depending on what transpired). I bet Dave is in a race to pay off the objects of his affection.

I do find it amusing that this broke in today's news as well.
