They probably think it's funny.
Since liberals have no problem with adultery, rape, or, apparently, date-raping a teenager...
It's just a private matter to them.
Bill Maher will probably appear on the show and they can chuckle about it
like good ol' boys. Too dirty old...liberals.

You’re right and David Letterman is now a VICTIM!

Hard to tell I’m sure though his lawyer probably suggested one. His wife is a former staffer so she shouldn’t be too surprised.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Or Katie and her cougar friends in Manhattan can cackle and chuckle about it,
speculating on which young bimbo or skanks on his staff are the homewreckers.
Maybe the same ones that wrote the ARod joke about Palin's daughter?
They can all laugh and howl about it at the next Planned Parenthood or
Zero Population Growth fundraiser gala. Or on The View. Barbara can share
notes on how to keep an affair secret, which hotels, and weekend getaways
are best for adultery. Whoopi pounding on the table, belly-aching cackling laughter.

Break to commercial...

Replace the ole bucktoothed weasel Letterman with Craig Ferguson immediately, CBS! He’s funnier, and actually LOVES the USA (he became an American citizen fairly recently).

[elizabethgrace]

LOL.

[LomanBill]

Blackmail? Ugly and dishonorable business.

Apparently Halderman’s moral compass is no better calibrated than Letterman’s.

[LomanBill]

>>with Craig Ferguson immediately

I like Ferguson ;-) At least he has a brain instead of a teleprompter.

Maybe the same ones that wrote the ARod joke about Palin's daughter?

Karma ping

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

It points out why he or they might be thinking of such a joke.

[stayathomemom]

Isn’t this the classic definition of sexual harassment? And doesn’t CBS care?

That was exactly my thought.

MizSterious said: "Everything he touched is tainted ..."

That's what occurred to me, too. How many stories have we not heard from CBS because Halderman or some other "journalist" chose to extort money instead?

Perhaps ACORN has been sending money to ... Nah, that would never happen.

Ferguson’s “musical Numbers” with members of his production staff including some fellow that looks like a janitor are a scream...he did this “sheik of Araby “ number at the beginning of a show that was just uproariously funny! He has multidimensional talent and his accent is becoming more and more understandable all the time. His singing voice is actually quite accent free!
