Letterman admits extortion and affairs

[~~whimsy~~]

And that is why people love TV

Vicarious living rocks!

That's what I love about Sons of Anarchy! After I watch that show I get on my bicycle and, at the moment, looking for some Aryan bastards to take down! Yeah, though I have to wait until next week to see what to do next...

Have a kid I got to do it for the next 18 years:nanner:

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I don't want any kids at the moment. So I watch family sitcoms with kids to fulfill my loneliness :shy:

:nanner: ^_^

 

[JacknCoke]

Then explain the E! channel and VH1 :tongue:

The worst 2 channels on TV besides MTV. Well I hate CNN MSNBC etc...

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I don't know. Chelsea Handler is rather funny. So is The Soup, it makes fun of all them reality shows and other programs people sit with serious intent with week after week to see who wins a hundred grand or "true love" ^_^

Oh true, the soup is great. I had to check it out. Can't stand reality TV though its all BS scripted shit. Although so aren't all prime time shows...

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I can't stand reality show. I hate when I catch the last minute or so of Khloe and Kourtney Take Miami. Who the hell sits down and actually watches it with a serious outlook on it all!?

I swear, it is mind boggling. So then I watch The Soup, which turns around and makes fun of the show it is following

i'm willing to be that letterman's lawyer told him he should make the info public to avoid this kind of black-mailing shite again.

he did it awfully well. he's a master of presentation, timing, and spin.

that said, i'm with you, whimsy, the audience reaction is very strange.

Dave was making jokes as he told the story. And with Letterman, you never really know when he's joking and when he's being serious. The whole episode was just weird.

 

[~~whimsy~~]

I had an affair:

:crowdgrin

I killed someone last year, hid their body, and been living with this knowledge ever since:

artysml:

I am voting republican next election:

:cussing::eek::wtf:

:tongue:

Did the first two lead to the third one? :1orglaugh

 

[~~whimsy~~]

Probably not. Had to say something to get the audience to boo and moan painfully for the editing process later on.

:hatsoff:

 

[feller469]

whimsy, not only can you vote Republican next time, hell you are qualified to run for office as a Republican. Or a Democrat for that matter. If you look good and can be charming, you will garner a lot of votes.

Please add "Consenting" in the front and, "if not married" at the end.

consenting is applied, and married or not, people can still fuck whover they want........be it wrong or not.

I agree. Especially if it's an obscure Republican politician, who claims to be a man of God, who claims to be part of some family values movement that passes judgment on other people (but not on his own kind), who creates lie after lie to cover up the affairs, who conspires with others to pay the extortion and even place family members of his paramour in restricted employment. When other members of The Family decide to go trolling for women, men, girls or boys, when they're caught, perhaps they should just come clean... the way that Letterman did - instead of being self-righteous hypocrites.

I happened to be watching Dave's show last night. And I was laughing too, because I didn't know if he was joking around or if he was serious. It was VERY awkward! But after I realized that he was serious, I thought, what kind of idiot would try to blackmail Letterman (of all people)? The one guy on commercial TV, who for his entire career has given the :thefinger to the network brass and isn't afraid to take on anybody. Give 'em hell, Dave! :thumbsup:

Correction. If you're ANYONE who criticizes people and behavior while representing a facade of having superior behavior but are ultimately found to be saying one thing while doing the opposite, you're a fucking hypocrite. Hypocrites RIGHTLY receive MORE criticism and attention than those who don't engage in that activity.



No. People generally understand the imperfection of other people and character failings happen. If Letterman sat and used his position in the public eye to rail against people's morality and criticize there personal failings all the while engaging in the very behavior he's criticizing....he would be considered a hypocrite too.



I think morons are people who choose to ignore simple concepts like hypocrisy among other things.

thank you for proving my point.
but seriously, i dont care much what letterhead does to get ratings.
cheap shots, bad jokes, stupid claims.

Have any unmarried Repubs gotten in trouble for boinking their unmarried staffers? None that I can think of. :dunno:

And if a person has been dancing around with a Bible in his hand, telling other people how to live their lives, he best keep his dick in his pants when he's around strange women that ain't his wife. Otherwise, the town folk might talk. :1orglaugh

Spot on:bowdown::thumbsup: People preaching "Do as I say not as I do:" are complete douches and deserve what they get.

I doubt you will be blackmailed unless you have millions of dollas such as Letterman has.[/QUOTE
Doesn't have to be for millions, could be for my car, my computer, my friends, maybe they don't want me going to a club or store.

What about married porn stars, open marriages, or polygamists.
not my place to tell someone how to live.
That's the key thing about blackmail, it's leverage is social acceptabillity.
Dave didn't apolligise for having sex with coworkers he appoligised for the embarrasment of his personal life effecting others,
and stopped some greedy manipulative bastard from exploiting his life.
the scary part is someone coming right out and saying you do not have the right to be you, now pay up for going against the court of public opinion.
