Jahfin Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 And jokes about this gap toothed lecherous old creep who has to dip his pen in the company ink to distract himself from his wife are a source of enduring laughter to me...and many others. I congratulate Letterman for standing up to this man who wanted to extort money from him. And I am happy that he went to the police so that man would not get away with this crime. But why did Dave feel the need to talk about it on his show? It's not like it is anyone else's business, and I'm sure he isn't the first man who has cheated on his wife. But why bring this to his show? Because he is weak. Dave is a joke, and not even a funny joke. A sad bitter man. I'm not sure where you folks get your misinformation from but Letterman wasn't married at the time, nor was he involved with Regina Lasko (his current wife) during that time period. As for addressing the matter on the show, why shouldn't he? He's a public figure and the story has been all over the news since it first broke. If you're in the public spotlight as Letterman is, there would have been no avoiding it. Of course, if he had said nothing he would be criticized for that too. In regards to how his show has changed, well that happened when he moved to an earlier time slot. The same thing has occurred with Conan O'Brien's show. At that hour you are appealing to an entirely different audience so of course, certain elements of the program are going to be tweaked. That goes from the content itself and how it's presented to what type of musical artists are guests on the show. Was what Letterman did wrong? If he was single at the time (which he was), no. What's wrong is attempting to extort money from a public figure in an effort to get rich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of the late night talk shows, (Letterman, O'Brien, you name it) have gotten so bad that I, myself, would not spent any energy defending them. I respect their guests a little less for even going on these shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect their guests a little less for even going on these shows. I quite enjoy Letterman's show as well as Craig Ferguson's but that wasn't the point of my post. I was clarifying the inaccurate information about Letterman's martial status at the time of this incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virginia Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Really disappointing news, although this type of thing never really surprises me anymore.

TypeO Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I love how Letterman is portrayed as "being honest" by coming out with it. He's no different from any of the others who have made the news with similar indiscretions. He "came out" with it only after he had no other choice. Just like Mark Sanford, just like Rick Pitino, etc. They come clean (ouch, sorry) only after they are cornered with no way out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jahfin Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I don't think anyone is portraying Letterman as some kind of saint, least of all Letterman himself. Better to have addressed when he did, in the manner he did than having it be all over the news and not saying anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what that has to do with anything as I'm not trying to make a case that he should be eligible for sainthood.

You are suggesting that the affairs abruptly stopped when Letterman's common-law WIFE (you have heard of such a thing, haven't you? I mean if you're with someone for 23 years many do consider such a person to be a wife) became his legal WIFE. I seriously doubt that. In any case, it is certainly good to know that we have someone such as yourself on this board who can police it for those spreading "misinformation".

I have got a horsey Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 What's with all the moralizing going on about Letterman? Most of you are fans of some rock musicians who were never faithful to their wives, I don't hear anybody kicking up a stink about that... George Harrison was screwing Olivia Trinidad who worked for him at the time while he was still married to Pattie Boyd...He was even doing Ringo's wife, while he was still married to Pattie, so where's all the complaints about him?

Jahfin Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 How do you know that? The answer is...you don't. The answer is, I do but it's more than evident that you don't. Perhaps you don't have the ability to read your own posts but you previously stated that Letterman and Lasko were married at the time of the affairs when in fact, they weren't. You should know, you're the one that posted this link to an article that very clearly states that they weren't married until March 19th of this year. You are suggesting that the affairs abruptly stopped when Letterman's common-law WIFE (you have heard of such a thing, haven't you? I mean if you're with someone for 23 years many do consider such a person to be a wife) became his legal WIFE. I seriously doubt that. I'm not "suggesting" anything. You previously stated that Letterman was married to Lasko at the time when he wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rock stars have a free pass. Bottom line is....Men are pervs, period. Men cheat, so do women. The main squeeze involved was also shacked up with someone. Big deal. And most women involved with powerful, or famous men know they might cheat. It's part of the deal. Some can take it others can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
