Letterman: ‘I Feel Bad About My Role’ In Humiliating Lewinsky
CBS ^ | 5-17-14 | unknown

Posted on 05/17/2014 3:00:54 PM PDT by windcliff

WASHINGTON (CBSDC) — David Letterman regrets the way he treated Monica Lewinsky throughout the years over her affair with then President Bill Clinton while she was a White House intern.

With retiring ABC News’ Barbara Walters as his guest on his CBS show Wednesday night, “The Late Show” host said he started to feel bad about the role he played taking shots at Lewinsky after she penned a story for Vanity Fair opening up about the affair and the troubles she had finding a job.

“Now I started to feel bad because myself and other people with shows like this made relentless jokes about the poor woman and she was a kid. She was 21, 22,” Letterman said, adding that it was a “sad human situation.”

Letterman continued: “I feel bad about my role in helping push the humiliation to the point of suffocation.”

Walters said it was time to “turn the page” on Lewinsky.

“She has been ridiculed now for all these years and she is an intelligent woman,” Walters told Letterman. “I wish her well.”

BOVINE EXCREMENT....

He loved those attaboy’s, and slaps on the back for a jib well done from the New York Media wonks.

Disingenuous piece of crap...

And he enjoyed the same celebrity while attacking Sarah Palin. The libs f-in LOVED it. How many attaboys from the New York lefty’s did he get for that, at those Manhattan Parties he likes to attend??

No he doesn’t, it’s part of the Democrats’ War on Women, just as his philandering was, the humiliation of his most recent wife and his only child.

He’s a Demwit, and had the nerve to deny that he’d ever registered as one, put his staff on this, and admitted on the air that he had registered as a Demwit a few years earlier.

Thanks windcliff.

They destroy her and then feel bad about it, then wish her no ill will.

How noble of them.

On the plus side, his impending divorce is going to cost him $200 million.

I’m with you. I bet we’ll never hear these “late night” bozos tell us about how bad they feel about their role in trashing Sarah Palin and her kids. They might say they just got caught up in the Obamamania that was “sweeping” across freeloader land.

She knowingly had sex with a married man. She deserves worse than she got.

I don't disagree, but their motivation was insidious.

They were only concerned with making sure the married man didn't have to face any consequences and they accomplished that by destroying her.

Monica was a willing girlfriend.

Paula Jones was a state employee, at work, when Governor Clinton had a state trooper fetch her, where he then exposed himself to her, and she fled the room.

Aside from Governor Palin, no American female has been more trashed that Paula Jones.

If Letterman really felt bad he would use his money, contacts and influence to help her. The truth is super wealthy liberals pretend to feel the pain of others but when it comes to actually lifting a finger, or taking money out of their own pockets, they walk away.
