Letterman admits extortion and affairs

[Cpt.Obvious]

I though Polygamiy is illegal?

Gay marriage is in most states too.

Wow that totally did not answer my question thanks!

 

[Cpt.Obvious]

and homosexual sex and prostitution (accept in Nevada).
allot of things we do in the privacy of our own homes with connecting adults are illegal.
Doesn't matter if I have a Bisexual wife that I agree to let have a girl friend - that's adultery.
some pagan religious practices involve sex. and in some states it is illegal.
you can say polygamy is justifiably made illegal for mental health or for reasons of spousal abuse, but it's ok for a major religion to deny any form of sex until marriage, but it's ok to talk about the impure thoughts to a man in a dark room who has been banned from sex for life.
It's the court of public opinion becoming legislated human behavior.
I know couples (to use the term loosely) of 3, 4 and some are more.
even though they are not married and technically it is not against the law - the law has interfered with some of them and said break it up.
the bottom line is mob opinion.
if someone is happy and no one is harmed what is the problem.
where is the legislation that says after your third bad marriage your cut off, because its a waist of court and tax payer resources and a burden on the children from yet another marriage?

BMW is paying Rahal-Letterman to race in Japan soon too. With them leaving F1, if the IRL could get its head out of its ass, maybe they could convince Bimmer to return to the Earl in 2011 (or whenever the new fantasy formula is supposed to kick in) with a factory effort for R/L. :dunno:

 

[Ace Boobtoucher]

I think he could have handled the whole thing a little more tactfully but he did the right thing by making his transgressions a non issue.

 

[meesterperfect]

He is one low class , no scruples, no morals individual.
He jokes about a kid being fucked by alex rodriguez not long ago.
Now this.
Every time I open Yahoo its the top story.
Its about ratings and more money.
This should be a personal thing between him and his wife but instead he is milking it for every penny he can.
Low class.

National Organization for Women (aka LESBOS) have this to say about this whole thing:

"The latest Letterman controversy sheds new light on the widespread objectification of women in the workplace," NOW said in a statement Tuesday. "Most women can attest to the fact that many workplaces are plagued with inappropriate behavior by men in power."

I just don't think they should have come out and said this without knowing all the details first. Perhaps the woman came on to him? Women do have a lot more power now and are definitely going after men a lot more, this isn't the 1950s for christ's sake!

 

[Rey C.]

Always great to hear what the National Organization for Whiners has to say.

I bet it makes the (long, scraggly) hair on their legs stand up to know that they're on the same side of an issue as Sarah Palin is.

 

[meesterperfect]

Ever notice how all the women in that/those orginizations have one thing in common?
Theyre ugly.
Thats not a cheap shot just an observation I think may be relevant

 

[excitedlybored]

what a douchebag

I can honestly tell you that you are wrong. I once went to see The Indigo Girls live with a group of six Canadian feminists. They were most certainly not ugly and as long as you respected them they had no problems with sex. I dated one of them for a while and it was refreshing to hammer out the differences in our worldviews. Only in the tabloids are feminists all man hating. The ones I met all had fathers, brothers, lovers and these days, probably, sons that they love.

Anyway, when they were young, Germaine Greer and Naomi Wolf would turn heads and Gloria Steinem (founder of Ms. magazine) famously went under cover as a bunny girl. If it makes you feel better to think that ugliness and the demand for fair treatment are somehow linked then have at it.

 

[meesterperfect]

eye of the beholder i suppose.
I still think theys ugly

Being a feminist and being a member of N.O.W. are two different things. Just like being a gun enthusiast and being a member of the G.O.A. are two different things. I'm a gun enthusiast and I've been a Life Member of the NRA for many years. But the boys & girls over at the G.O.A. (Gun Owners of America) are a bit too paranoid schizophrenic for my liking.

Many women consider themselves to be feminists. But I haven't met that many who consider themselves to be radical feminists, or who belong to N.O.W. Camille Paglia has a brilliant mind, IMO. While I doubt that we agree on many other social issues, I heard her speak in the early 90's and I was mightily impressed. But Camille Paglia tried to speak to a N.O.W. gathering some years back and 60 Minutes was present. They repeatedly shut her mic off, as they'd done on other occasions. Camille saw (the leadership of) the modern radical feminist movement as I still see it: overprivileged, overeducated, upper middle class, White and Jewish females who have waaaay too much time on their hands... and too much money in their trust funds from Daddy or from a divorce settlement. She went after the N.O.W. leadership for being racists and classists - whoa, they didn't like that much! I believe sometime after that dressing down, N.O.W. elected a token Black as President, after Queen Patricia Ireland gave up her throne. Camille is for fair treatment of women, but she's also in favor of women being responsible for their actions. "I did something bad because a man made me do something bad" doesn't fly with her - and it doesn't fly with me either. To the best of my knowledge, Camille does not favor creating a law that would make women a "protected class" in the U.S. But N.O.W. does. Equal treatment or special treatment??? Camille has no problems with pornography. She's rather libertarian in that respect. But if N.O.W. (and other even more radical feminist groups) had its way, all pornogaphy depicting male/female sexual relations would be made illegal. N.O.W. and the fundamentalist Evangelicals worked together (politics makes strange bed fellows, or so they say) when Brother AG Ed Meese was on the rampage in the 80's. Just like the loons on the radical right believe, ALL pornography degrades women, leads to increased rape of women and increased abuse of children. The Fundies also believe that it'll turn a decent, straight boy gay... but the N.O.W. gals probably aren't in bed with them on that point.

Can I look at a woman and tell if she's a feminist by how pretty she is? Hell, no! Some of the angry, radical Women's Studies majors that I went to school with were absolute baby dolls (and wouldn't they love to hear me call them "baby dolls"?! ). Them being so attractive and being "objectified" is what apparently led some of them into that movement (cult?).

But anyway, N.O.W. (IMO) is more about whining, bitching, pissing and moaning about anything and everything that not only suggests that the woman isn't on equal grounds, but (more importantly), she doesn't have an advantage or isn't getting preferential treatment. N.O.W. is the same whacky group that had kind words and a warm shoulder for serial killer, Aileen Wuornos (she was just misunderstood, doncha know... )... but because Letterman was boinking the hired help (and he's a man), they've got their panties in a bunch.

As far as I know, Letterman wasn't married when he was screwing around with these women. AFAIK, none of them were married either. He didn't rape any of them. He didn't bribe, blackmail or coerce any of them (AFAIK). He didn't use any CBS money to spirit them away to the Waldorf for weekend boot-knocking sessions. And unless CBS had some employee guidelines againt this, I don't see what the fuss is all about.

Low class.

True 100%

This hypocritical asshole ripped Sarah Palin's daughter for having a child out of wedlock every fucking night during the Presidential election. Now we learn about his extramarital affairs with co-workers on his show . . . what a fucking scumbag! Fuck Letterman!

:thefinger :thefinger :thefinger

 

[DJCowboy]

I think it said in the same article I posted that he did have sex with them before he was married so he really wasn't in the wrong. No affair took place, the only thing that was inappropriate here was they were employees. Oh and the guy that was extorting him

 

[Rey C.]

How does one have an "extramarital affair" if one is not married??? :dunno: Can someone confirm that one or more of Letterman's sex partners were indeed married???

And anyway, the last time I checked, Letterman wasn't a Holy Roller, telling stories about "this one time at bible camp..." to his audience, like Sister Sarah tends to do.

Exactly. I could see having a problem with this if he was a die hard "family values" advocate running for high national office. But he's not. He's just a comedian.
