An NYPD source has told RadarOnline.com that the suspect under arrest in the David Letterman extortion case was a producer for CBS’s 48 Hours, Robert Halderman. Halderman often went by his middle name Joe and currently has a residence in Connecticut.

A source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com that Letterman met with Halderman several times as part of the police operation leading to the arrest.

RadarOnline.com has also learned that the alleged extortionist lived with the woman who David was involved with.

This gets better. A twofer!

[Jack Hammer]

Yawn....

[iowamark]

CBS News scrapes the bottom of the barrel.

[Shimmer1]

(making face) Did he wear a bag over his head?? ugh!

[roses of sharon]

[South40]

So Dave Letterman, flaming leftist and idiot extraordinaire, who joked about a 14-year-old Palin daughter getting impregnated by a 34-year-old A-Rod turns out to be the sleazy one?

How predictable.

[tina07]

excellent!

[freekitty]

Letterman is scum of the earth. He’s up there everynight pronouncing sentence on others while he is engaged in his own little harum of sex.

How phony can you get?

What's the point of being rich and famous if you can't have sex with your employees? Heck, isn't that why they're called 'underlings'?

[Safrguns]

Where can I send bail money?

[EDINVA]

Perfect !

[Nextrush]

No wonder Letterman was so comfortable with Bill Clinton the other week.

They both have a common “hobby.”

[james500]

Can we get Roman Polanski on video defending Letterman?

Can we get Roman Polanski on video defending Letterman?

Roman Polanski said that he wouldn't go there.

[taxesareforever]

This guy will probably make more money off a book than the $2 mil he was trying to get from littleman.

[tina07]

That was basically my 78 yr. old mother’s comment, who would want him!

[synbad600]

"A "Late Show" staffer, 31-year-old Stephanie Birkitt, once lived with Halderman, according to public records."

NY Daily News

If she is one of the girls he slept with it doesn't surprise me. Long time ago, when I used to watch, he used her for goofy skits and stuff.

So that means she was in her early-mid twenties and he was in his fifties! Ewww. What's the matter w/ her? What must her father think?

[WildWeasel]

Couldn’t happen to a more miserable human being! I vowed never to watch this scumbag Letterman again after his vile comments about Sarah Palin’s daughter.

I make sure no one in my house watches that scum and I hope many others have done the same.

[jazzlite]

I just think of this as God beginning to shed the light on the evil which abounds in our society, masked in hypocrisy. How long have some of us prayed that the light of truth would begin to shine around us? And, God Bless You, Sarah Palin, and your family.

[jazzlite]

You are funny!

[South40]

And, God Bless You, Sarah Palin, and your family.

Ditto that.

[Carley]

We always knew Letterman was creepy. Guess the losers who thought his jokes about Sarah’s little girl was just sooo funny are laughing now too???

[ccmay]

Eww. Was it worth it, Dave? Maybe I should ask you after your divorce is wound up.

How typically liberal. "Joke" about others done unto them while you're out doing unto others things even worse. At-a boy, Dave.

[leprechaun9]

[mothball]

Amen! He needs to go away, his schtick is so tired and burnt. I can’t believe people actually watch it. Personally i’d rather watch a car rust.

[Humbug]

Speaking of which, what ever happened to feminists being outraged by an employer sleeping with an employee? Or did that all go by the wayside after the Lewinsky affair? What luck for Letterman that he came out as a raging lefty when he did, that should give him enough cover for whatever might be uncovered. A conservative Letterman? He'd be toast within days if not hours. Not to mention ol' Letterman wouldn't have been as desirable to the cute little liberal underlings that populate the entertainment industry if he leaned to the right. But the liberal Letterman? By the time the media is done spinning things people will end up feeling sorry for him and he'll be turned into a hero because he did it (standing up to the blackmailer, i mean) for his family's sake.

I have questions. Were the people involved terminated/resigned. Did they have a choice or was Dave blackmailing them to keep their jobs?

[MinuteGal]

Is that a photo of Letterman's wife?

Leni

[Roses0508]

I imagine that show must be a miserable place for a woman to work. That creep probably is always sneaking a feel and making sick remarks and smirking cause he thinks he’s so special.

[Doc Savage]

Hey, this was not an extortion-extortion!!!

[Arrowhead1952]

Is that a photo of Letterman's wife?

Nope. That is an "upgrade" from his wife. See below.

[leprechaun9]

What a great picture! He looks like an unmade bed!

[snarks_when_bored]

Excellent questions; excellent points.
