FACEBOOK Sarah Palin must be smiling, and not just because her new book is already #1 on the bestseller list, before it's even been released. The ex-Alaska governnor's erstwhile nemesis, David Letterman, just confessed that he's been the Horndog King of Late Night all these years, telling his audience he is the victim of an extrotion plot and admitting, "I have had sex with women who worked for me on this show

Wow. I don't know where to begin with David Letterman's bizarro, play-it-for-laughs on-air admission that he had sex with staff members. On the one hand, good for him for telling a fairly unvarnished account of being blackmailed by a Connecticut man for $2 million and admitting to the "creepy things," as Dave kept putting it, the blackmailer was threatening to take public. On the other hand: Couldn't somebody have gone out between the first and second act and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Letterman is about to talk about something very difficult and though you might be tempted to laugh,...

David Letterman, who built his career skewering philandering politicians and show business “weasels” and “boneheads,” finds himself in the middle of his own celebrity scandal, after he admitted having multiple affairs with employees of his production company, Worldwide Pants. For the intensely private Mr. Letterman, the revelations, which resulted from a bizarre extortion attempt, are sure to be extremely embarrassing, especially as he tries to extend his lead in the late-night contest. ”I have had sex with women who work for me on this show,” he told his audience on Thursday night, calling himself “creepy.” He added that he hoped...

<p>At the center of David Letterman's extortion scandal is Stephanie Birkitt, an assistant who appeared on the show and who apparently had sex with Dave. But as information about her leaks out, pundits are already asking whether we should care.</p>

I love Rush..I do. But if my memory serves me correctly, he came forward about his vicodin addiction ONLY when he found himself being blackmailed...am I correct? I love Rush..I dislike hypocrites. Tell me where I'm wrong.

Just wonderin'.... He was on Letterman's show very recently....

A CBS News employee is accused of trying to extort $2 million from David Letterman, forcing the late-night host to admit in an extraordinary monologue before millions of viewers that he had sexual relationships with female employees.

My syndicated column today fixes the spotlight on David “The Perv” Letterman’s contempt for women. Yesterday morning, I noted the silence of the feminists. Last night, NOW finally spoke up — but not without taking a holier-than-thou potshot of its own. I suggest they all review the Four Stages of Conservative Female Abuse before wagging their tired old fingers again and lecturing us “inauthentic” women about not doing enough to combat sexism.

David Letterman wasn't joking on the air during Thursday night's show. And his shocking revelation that he's had sex with female staff members threatens to change the late-night TV landscape. For starters, most viewers won't look at Letterman, who's 62, the same anymore. Sure, he's a sharp and witty guy; that's always been obvious. But having sex with younger female staff members, when he's their boss? And don't forget: He's often on the air boasting of his love for his wife and son. Ouch. Letterman's revelation came out because he was the target of an extortion attempt. In the end,...

Sign reads: "DIRTY OLD Letter MAN" Sign reads: "CBS FIRED IMUS, NOW FIRE LETTERMAN" Sign reads: "Viva La Barracuda!" Sign reads: "Political Hate Disguised As Humor" Lots of left-wing photographers and "journalists" around snapping pics and arguing with protesters. Left-wing "journalists" attempting to explain to protesters that 'jokes' about statutory rape of a 14-year-old are okay. Can you smell the condescension from these left-wing reporters on the left. Letterman had some supporters there as well (other than the left-wing media). This maniac, who's labeling Sarah Palin a "Nazi", explained to me that he is the founder and sole member...

<p>David Letterman told his audience Thursday that he is the victim of an alleged extortion attempt and admitted to having sexual relations with several members of his staff, according to a press release from Worldwide Pants Inc. David Letterman admitted to having sexual relationships with female staff members, according to a company statement.</p>

David Letterman is not just wearing his political views on his sleeve, as a one of his shows production executives recently pointed out. Now he's allowing his show to be used as a platform for leading Democrats to advocate action on liberal causes. On Sept. 21, President Barack Obama appeared on CBS's "Late Show with David Letterman" and used his show to promote his health care/health insurance reform initiatives. But the very next night on Sept. 22, he had former President Bill Clinton on to publicize the efforts of the Clinton Global Initiative, one of which is to give aid...

In case you hadn't gotten enough of Barack Obama plugging ObamaCare on any of the five Sunday talk shows yesterday, your eyes can continue to glaze over tonight when the President appears on David Letterman tonight to continue his seemingly endless shill routine. And in case you think Letterman somehow bowed to White House pressure to allow Obama on to continue talking about a subject that many are already growing weary about, think again. This was actually Dave's idea according a story in the New York Times: Mr. Obama, of course, famously was the first sitting president to visit any...

So, here’s what The Perv of Late Night CBS Comedy said last night: “You know about the Taliban? Over here, we call them ‘healthcare protesters.’”

What constitutes "hateful speech?" It depends on the views of the individual, or in this case the advocacy group propagating the claim. Earlier this week, Plymouth, Wisc.-based Sargento Food, Inc., along with several other companies, pulled their advertising from the Fox News Channel's "Glenn Beck" program at the behest of a campaign by Color of Change, an advocacy group. ...more...

Number 7: "Todd, I've always wanted to know -- what is it you do exactly?"

David Letterman bid Sarah Palin farewell in his monologue on Tuesday night by attacking her. Letterman joked that in the future, she hopes to be the next "octo-mom." Letterman also knocked Palin and claimed she waved goodbye to Russia before she left office.

Sarah Palin vs. Hitler's' children Protester outside the David Letterman Show: "If it would have been any other family (than Sarah Palin's), Letterman would have been taken off the air." Young sound man/reporter for Maxim Radio on Sirius Satellite: "What about if it was Hitler's children?"

David Letterman "jokes" about Sarah Palin's teenage daughter having sex with A-Rod during a baseball game. For good measure he suggests the daughter would be of interest to Eliot Spitzer, infamous for soliciting a prostitute. If Ed Schultz condemned Letterman, I missed it. But let Sarah Palin's acceptance of Letterman's belated apology include thanks to the US military for making freedom of speech possible for all Americans, and Schultz condems Palin as "nothing but political slime."
