It IS true, Letterman admitted it on air last night. He was being extorted so that why he went o the police. Letterman didn't break any laws, he just had an affair, so I doubt he'd be replaced. Might hurt his ratings though.

True, it happened before they got married. So he was cheating on his gf not his wife. Still obviously wrong and messed up but I like letterman and think he'll recover. He did the right thing by coming clean and being the first one to get his story out. He handled as well as possible probably. Hopefully he didn't f up his marriage and all that!

That asshole Bill O'Reilly seems to have survived sexually harassing and stalking women who worked for him, so I really don't think that consensual sex between adults is worthy of my consideration.
I don't watch Letterman because his show seems a bit dry and old fashioned for my taste (I much prefer Daily Show, Colbert Report, Real Time with Bill Maher) but I don't have a problem with him having whatever kind of consensual sex he wants.
As far as the extortion goes, I hope they get the bastard. That is just straight sleazy bullshit

Well it's a bit more complicated than that. The head of a company having sex with employees below him is frowned upon and considered unethical. It also opens him up to sexual harrassment claims since the women can say they were pressured. So heshould probably knock it off, but I agree it's not a real big deal and he should recover.

well yeah, sleeping with employees is not a very good idea but it certainly isn't uncommon. I did it once way back when. It wasn't the smartest decision ever but you have to keep in mind that the more responsibility you have at work, the less time you have to spend socializing with people outside of work. I imagine Letterman has less time away from work than most people do.
It is linda the same reason why when you are in school you tend to sleep with other students because that is who you meet.
