David Letterman should have kept it in his Worldwide Pants (More scandals to be exposed...)

If only Dave had kept it in his Worldwide Pants.

Letterman must be wishing that now, after accused blackmailer Robert (Joe) Halderman said "not guilty" at his arraignment in Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday.

After bigtime defense lawyer Gerald Shargel said ominously there are a lot more skeletons in this closet.

"This story is far more complicated than what you heard this afternoon," said Shargel, who won a big one for the late mob boss John Gotti.

This will be spun and nothing more than a screenplay being offered to Letterperv.

I never watch this creep any more-but I was up last night (Friday-the day after the bombshell hit) This creep still gave a snide remark about Sarah Palin’s book-(not many people laughed) and he had Larry David (Seinfeld, Curb youe Enthusiasm) who made a remark about Dave’s little problem

Overall, funny as a crutch-I’d like to see him go down—with BO and the Worst lady blowing the Chicago games, this was like Xmas for me.

I stopped watching him after the inappropriate remarks about Palin’s daughter. Before that I wondered about his response, “In my pants!” He used to make fun of the woman, Stephanie, when she was working on the audience participation stuff.

Now that the facts are starting to come out, a lot of the odd stuff makes sense. The man is a predator using his position for advantage.

Bump for more voting.

This needed a barf alert. Decent guy please!!

A lot more skeletons in this closet? And it goes to trial?? Excellent! This could be a slow drip, drip, drip of new info like what happened to ACORN with the videos. And all the while Letterman twists and squirms and his sponsors and network lose interest and money.

[Malesherbes]

Yo, BO, you’ve spent more time with Letterman than with General McCrystal. Notice anything backstage at the Letterman show?

[ol' hoghead]

And how much of this did the execs at CBS know?

and when did they know it?

[kellynla]

BTTT

Schadenfreude, Dave !

While Sarah Palin's watching her bank account explode and eyeing the White House in '12 !!

“Although Halderman is an award-winning journalist at CBS’ “48 Hours,” ...
...he’s a blackmailing scumbag criminal.”

Exactly! This is proof positive that the American media is not only biased, THEY ARE CORRUPT! I wonder how many ‘reporters’ have fat offshore bank accounts in regards to ‘secrets’ they are hiding about Obama and the people connected to Obama? My guess is that many of them are getting very rich thanks to Obama’s benefactors.

Of course David Letterman is a scumbag that deserves being outed...but let’s not forget that this leftist reporter was blackmailing him....not ‘reporting’ on him.

[Josh Painter]

He’s not a “decent guy.” He’s what the Left thinks a “decent guy” should be, i.e., a misogynist who tries to destroy peoples’ lives by telling lies and using sick humor.

Was the audience laughing or was it a laugh track. Seemed to sound identical during both periods of laughter...

Sounded that way to me as well.

In a sense CBS is the victim, since he made business decision to benefit himself rather than to benefit of his employer

Other workers are also victims if they didn't give in to his sexual demands in order to receive promotions, doing skits, etc.

Also, the women who did have sex with him can also complain because if the favors they received were ones they should have gotten in the first place without having sex, then they are also victims.

What you are saying is that if someone had sex with the boss in order not to get fired they wouldn't have a leg to stand on, and this is not true. Neither is it true that if you have talent or should be promoted and they only way you can do it is sleep with the boss.

Either case is a sexual harassment case and if Letterman wasn't such a liberal, women's groups would already be coming down on him.

Many people on the left, and some on the right, judge people by their personalities. If someone is charming in person(regardless of, say, they way they are on the air)then they are perceived to be a "nice guy". Doesn't matter what they are really like, if they are "likable" then they have to be "nice guys". Most serial killers were "likable" and probably viewed as "nice guys" by people who knew them. The left doesn't go by character, only personalities.

[cubreporter]

He makes me want to throw up and that was even BEFORE all of this happened.

Where is N.O.W. on this issue? I have yet to hear a word about Letterman’s sexual harrasment of his employees? Isn’t this one of their main issues and what they ahve fought against all of thse years?

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I agree, but the scope of his liability and exposure is fairly wide.

[Gordon Greene]

“...he’s a blackmailing scumbag criminal.”

The crazy thing about that is Letterman has admitted he slept with some of his subordinates... Halderman is accused but is pleading “not guilty”. And yes, yes, I know folks usually plead not guilty, but there is no assumption with Letterman. He IS a scumbag. Anything else at this point is speculation.
