Letterman: ‘I Feel Bad About My Role’ In Humiliating Lewinsky

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — David Letterman regrets the way he treated Monica Lewinsky throughout the years over her affair with then President Bill Clinton while she was a White House intern.

With retiring ABC News’ Barbara Walters as his guest on his CBS show Wednesday night, “The Late Show” host said he started to feel bad about the role he played taking shots at Lewinsky after she penned a story for Vanity Fair opening up about the affair and the troubles she had finding a job.

“Now I started to feel bad because myself and other people with shows like this made relentless jokes about the poor woman and she was a kid. She was 21, 22,” Letterman said, adding that it was a “sad human situation.”

Letterman continued: “I feel bad about my role in helping push the humiliation to the point of suffocation.”

“She has been ridiculed now for all these years and she is an intelligent woman,” Walters told Letterman. “I wish her well.”

Did Letterman apologize to Lewinski personally?

If he did, then everything is OK and he can always start denigrating the next victim and apologize later on, again.

Letterman was part of a left-wing media conspiracy to save Bill Clinton, holder of the “most powerful job in the world”, by focusing humiliating onto his victim, a childish employee less than half Clinton’s age, whose parents were big donors and trusted him. Clinton compounded his sexual misconduct by arranging a $60k+ per year make-work job at the Pentagon for his girlfriend. Corporate executives are fired for less, and should be. Hillary Stood by Her Man because it was politically expedient for her own career; she blamed the “little slut” once her pink-pantsuit pretense about “a vast right-wing conspiracy” crumbled into the jam-packed dustbin of Clinton lies.

Letterman could have ridiculed the Clinton’s off the national stage. Instead he helped assure their political survival. Now, he is abetting their new strategy: anyone bringing up Bill and Hillary’s White House sexcapades and lies will be positioned to look like a jerk for hurting that innocent woman, Miss Lewinsky. Letterman has much to apologize for.
