Some are guessing that this will only mean chump change to Letterman.

Dear Dave:

Sounds like your glass house has a few cracks. Sending whale glue....it smells but works well.

What victims????!!???

Not the huzzies that sought to advance themselves by sleeping with the boss. Nothing for them.

But people who showed up to work every day, did a good job and were bypassed for advancement because they didn't sleep with the boss, they have a legit claim.

One no-talent female intern was given advancement to a full time job, and a coveted semi-regular on-air slot, all for jumping in bed with Letterman.

If the victims get together in a combined sexual harassment lawsuit against this notorious democrat party hack/pervert, I am guessing $100,000,000 will be a reasonable settlement. That wipes out any profit from this washed up UNFUNNY boring degenerate.

Don’t know if this gets them off the hook or not but yesterday I read that Letterman owns his show (Wide Pants corporation)and so is not a CBS employee but a contractor or vendor.

True and that will of course be CBSs argument in a motion for dismissal.

However, that will not stand for long. At least one of the women will have been found to have applied to CBS and referred to WWP, people worked for both entities, etc.

And remember, CBS can't "afford" to have any judgments or settlements unpaid by Letterman. Can you imagine that publicity?

Any contract CBS has with WWP is meaningless in this situation. Party A and Party B cannot make a contract to limit the rights of Party C. WWP and CBS can have all the contracts that say WWP is responsible for any damages, but if a court finds CBS liable in any way, all that does is "make" WWP pay CBS for any damages after CBS pays them.

"I don't see settlements of 100s of millions."

I know. This is still in the what if phase of an unfolding event. There might be 4 women, there might be 40. There might be a few million paid out, or there might be hundreds of millions paid out. Loss from advertisers could be anywhere from zero to hundreds of millions. Nonetheless, there are some very frowny faces around CBS these days. And that's a good thing.

His staff may actually work for World Wide Pants, Inc, Letterman’s separate, private production company.

Wold Wide Pants....Ha ...you can't make this up

[Huebolt]

But what about liability for the young women. .

David Litterpig should have to live by the politically correct shi* he espouses ! ! ! The poor down-trodden helpless females were VICTIMS of the chauvinist PIG ! ! !

I'd take the bankruptcy of SeeBS anyway I could get it.

[Sacajaweau]

The problem is "editing" his future jokes....That's the backlash.

Feel sorry for the kid. The wife....I'm sure she knew she was one among many. The marriage was her payoff. Who the hell would want to be a girlfriend of 20 years and suddenly marry the guy. Best guess: They knew this was going down BEFORE THE MARRIAGE.

[nufsed]

If it’s 40 they’ll erect a statue to the guy. He’d have to be running an assembly line. That explains the different interns every summer. LOL!

[Interesting Times]

This is satisfying on many levels.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Wow so much news in the past 2 days.
Letterman is an ass.
He is crude and vulgar and tasteless. And most of all; not funny.
I miss Johnny Carson.

[hsrazorback1]

Nothing would please me more than to see that gap-toothed sack of fecal matter do a perp walk.

[N. Theknow]

Top Ten Letterman excuses:

1. Bitches set me up.

2. Depends on the meaning of the word sex.

9. Get 0bama on the phone and tell him I have a job he can save.

10. Late show will now be: Magic Moments with David Cop-a-feel
