Yes that is silly. Some people need desperate attention to bring up something that happened a lifetime ago.

Plus, maybe this will be the impetus for Gloria Allred to wade into the Letterman fiasco. It's always fun when she comes in on her high-horse and strikes down upon thee with furious vengeance.

It should make for some terrific entertainment.

Superdave could be done in by his own Messiah’s Lilly Bedwetter Act.

Clinton was damn lucky that some other intern who wasn’t “servicing” him (assuming for the sake of argument such a person or persons exist) didn’t make a similar accusation. And unless Vernon Jordan was schlepping every White House intern all over DC and its environs in search of high paying jobs, they would have every grounds to make such an argument.

It was an unpaid position. However Bill Clinton’s team got Monica a 6-figure salary at one of Ron Pearlman’s firms that she was unqualified for in exchange for her lying under oath.

So there probably COULD be a case made against Ron Perlman by one of his employees or job applicants.

People who make serious, public accusations against the Clintons have a nasty habit of turning up dead.

Social justice for past discrimination and harassment.

A former Letterman writer claims Dave's show was a "hostile, sexually charged atmosphere" -- and "sexual politics" played a role in why she eventually quit the job.

Not a surprise. Letterman's show is the same way!!

"hostile, sexually charged atmosphere"

Sounds like a prelude to a lawsuit though she denies that is her aim.

"Wonder when other late night hosts will start making jokes about good ole down and dirty Dave; you know, just like Dave did to others??"

I have read, since this whole Letterman story broke, that Jimmy Kimmel is dating one of his writers. Carson Daly, actually impregnated one of his staffers and Conan O'Brien married a woman who was an actress/skit player on his show.

It seems as if Letterman's behavior is standard operating procedure in the late night biz - and probably all of Hollywood.

“hostile, sexually charged atmosphere”

Those are the secret words to open the Golden Cash Register according to every training seminar I’ve ever been forced to attend.

So when does Craig Ferguson get moved up to 11:30?

There, fixed it for you. Hollywood is its own (im)moral enclave.

And this, Boys & Girls, is why ESPN fired Steve Phillips. These kind of affairs are not totally victimless, or ‘cute’ as David Letterman would have them portrayed. Plus you open your employer up to all kinds of civil actions.

I guess in Letterman’s case, he is essentially self-employed. If a suit does result the defendants will likely be Letterman himself, and his production company “World Wide Pants.” It’ll be settled.
