David Letterman and his amazing 'little story'

That is a valid point. Though I don't believe Letterman was sexually harassing anyone per se, at least there is no evidence at all of such an occurrence to date, the point is that those with whom he was playing consensual hide-the-salami were in a position to benefit.
For example, at least one the women who he is known to be involved with made appearances on air for which ACTRA scale determines she would receive an additional check for several thousand $$, being a national show to say the least. Not every staff member makes on-air appearances.
So there are ethical issues.

It's about sexual harassment in the workplace. The boss can't do the help without raising questions as to whether it was consensual or coerced to keep a job.

Letterman is a major hypocrite a'hole. How could he say those things about Palin's kid while doing this kind of thing? I hope he gets his rear sued off.

at least bob barker smooched on the help when the camera was running.

I just don't understand why people in the public eye take such chances! Now his public admission makes him look honest and forthright when all this time he's been deceitful and exploitative.

he may have shot himself in the foot by comming out too soon

So Letterman admits sexually harassing and having sex with many of his staffers? How rich is that? Who can forget him making jokes about "knocking up" Palin's child? The wolf passing judgment on the lamb. The hatred of the good for being the good.
"This guy knows creepy stuff about me," Letterman said.

Yeah, cuz you're a creep.

Imagine the besieged female staffers on the Letterman show -- a very coveted position (who wouldn't want that on their resume?) And Letterman, in exploitation of his power, abused and imposed himself as only a self obsessed lech can. Yech, imagine that slobbering all over you. I can only imagine the couple of female staffers that were not left-bots (in the closet of course) giving each other the sideway glances when he was ranking on Palin and her children.

What a P.I.G. These are our cultural icons? Is it any wonder we are in such deep doo doo?

"I was disturbed by this. I was worried for myself, I was worried for my family. I felt menaced by this and I had to tell them [the grand jury] all of the creepy things I had done," Letterman said.

When he finished, the audience burst into applause.

Burst into applause? Who are these people?

Is it any wonder that a Letterman would attempt to defile a Palin? Like the silver cross to Dracula. This is how the debauched left destroys America.

Hell no!! I wanted Clinton to continue doing his job. I believed him because he said he didn't. Good actor too!

but here are some of my reasons why his story is not the same as Letterman.

1. it wasn't several women that worked in the White House that he was having sex with.
2. It was one person
3. Yes it was wrong that he had sex with Monica, but he didn't come out and make a joke about it.
4. The only reason we found out is because other women came out and told on him....

No J, we are missing the point here. If i had a business and my employees were having sex with me. Wouldn't that constitute in my business closing down? The work place is for work, not for sex! It's not allowed in the work place! I understand one relationship... but he clearly said, "it was several women" he had sex with.

Just for that, he should get fired. There's no possible way that this should be allowed!!

Depends on how the relationship is...if he had any power in getting them fired as in directly instead of suggesting....then maybe there might be a problem.

It also depends on what kind of sex it was. If it was consensual then maybe there's not as big a problem as if they had the feeling that they HAD to have sex with him.
