Letterman cheats....So what?  


Why do people care that David Letterman had sex with his female staff members? He has never claimed to be some sort of moral authority. Did anyone assume that Dave was a perfect boyfriend or husband? I mean, he did date his now wife, Regina Lasko, for 20 years before popping the question. That doesn't sound like it could have been the most ideal situation to me. He's a comedian. His job is to make us laugh each night and conduct interesting interviews and to make CBS money, all of which he does very well. Plus, comedians and most people in show business for that matter, aren't exactly notorious for being monogamous. Do we expect anything less out of celebrities? It's like saying Brad Pitt should be fired from a movie or denied work because he cheated on Jennifer Aniston.

I think Dave did the right thing by informing the world of his situation, after all, you can't be blackmailed when everyone already knows your business. I hear people are saying he should resign from his show...Are you kidding me? Bill Clinton stayed in office, Letterman can stay on TV. He didn't break any laws. All of the women that have been implicated as his partners claim these were consensual relationships. If it were sexual harassment they would have filed those charges years ago when the affairs happened. Everybody needs to get over it and start focusing their outrage on issues that matter. I understand the difference had this been a politician, a religious figure, or someone whose moral character has an affect people's lives. Dave is an entertainer and his private life and sexual exploits only affect the people directly involved.

What next?
