I have morals unlike some on here, you obviously dont, if you have nothing of substance to post in my threads then get out, you have no thought for yourself ever, at least I have an opinion. you just went back on ignore with trampled the dog daycare guy
you are obviously stupid, he had a girlfriend since 86 or so that he repeatedly cheated on and he had sex with women that were subordinates under him at work, cheater comes to mind and sexual harassment comes to mind too, I just hope he gets fired. he deserves it. that for should

He was not married, he may have had a girlfriend but maybe she did not care.
I have not heard from either woman that there was any problems.
You just jump to a sexual harassment claim?
Where is any info that could be possible?
And he is not going to get fired.
One joke about Palin changes your mind this much about someone.
You are just a miserable fuck of a human being.
If it comes out that letterman was harassing these girls than fine he should be fired. But to jump from him being blackmailed by a third party to him being in the wrong and harassing these girls is just stupid.
a situation like this has to raise some eyebrows(if the company honchos are doing their jobs)......when the boss starts boinking the staff, it raises questions about harassment....
it has to be looked into...:shrug:

David Letterman in 2005. He described as 'terrifying' the few weeks since the alleged extortion plot against him began to unfold.
<!-- ARTICLE CONTENT START -->A top CBS News producer was indicted Friday on charges of shaking down funnyman David Letterman for $2 million.
Robert "Joe" Halderman warned Letterman that his "world is about to collapse around him" if he didn't pay him to keep quiet about sleeping with "Late Show" staffers, prosecutors said.
Halderman is charged with one count of attempted grand larceny - punishable by up to 5-to-15 years in jail - for trying to extort Letterman.
"The message of this indictment should be clear," Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said. "New York City will not tolerate the coercion or extortion of anyone, be the victim rich or poor, famous or anonymous."
Halderman was hit with the charge a day after Letterman shocked fans by admitting - live on TV - that he frolicked with female staffers.
In a one-page blackmail letter that he delivered to Letterman at 6 a.m. on Sept. 9, Halderman told Letterman he needed to "make a large chunk of money" and was willing to sell Letterman a "screenplay treatment" about the comedian's dalliances.
The treatment was attached to the letter in a package that contained "other materials supporting the 'screenplay treatment'," Morgenthau said.
Ominously, Halderman's letter referred to Letterman's "beautiful and loving son" Harry, who was the target of a thwarted kidnap plot in 2005.
Halderman then directed Letterman to call him by 8 a.m. to "make a deal," Morgenthau said.
Letterman immediately notified his lawyer, who set up a meeting with Halderman at the Essex House on Sept. 16, Morgenthau said.
It was there that Halderman, 51, "demanded to be paid $2 million to avoid the disclosure of the private information in his so-called 'screenplay treatment'," said Morgenthau.
Letterman's lawyer, whose named was not released, called the cops.
Morgenthau said they set up a sting and sent Letterman's lawyer back to the Essex House for a second meeting on Sept. 23 with Halderman. Only this time, the lawyer was wearing a wire.
At their third meeting on Sept. 30, Letterman's lawyer handed Halderman a phony check for $2 million while cops sat in the adjoining room and recording it all, Morgenthau said.
Halderman was arrested outside CBS News early Thursday after depositing the check at his bank in Connecticut, Morgenthau said.
The TV executive needed money - he was paying thousands of dollars in alimony and child support after his ex-wife, Patty Montet, took him to the cleaners.
The "48 Hours" producer was required to pay $6,800 a month in child and spousal support for three years in his 2004 divorce settlement, TMZ.com reported, citing court documents.

Letterman technically has no bosses as he owns World Wide Pants. He sold his shows to CBS. The company said Dave crossed no company employee manual policies. Everyone working for the Late Show are employees of Dave.
Hedgehog, which do you feel is worse:
a) David Letterman (a single adult) having legal consensual sex with women who happen to work for his show. ..or..
b) the illegal extortion attempt by the other guy.?
It seems that you are more concerned with morals than ethics. ...In fact, that's the problem with most right wingers these days.

you didn`t address the federal eeoc laws
"The victim as well as the harasser may be a woman or a man. The victim does not have to be of the opposite sex.
The harasser can be the victim's supervisor, an agent of the employer, a supervisor in another area, a co-worker, or a non-employee.
****The victim does not have to be the person harassed but could be anyone affected by the offensive conduct. ***
Unlawful sexual harassment may occur without economic injury to or discharge of the victim.
The harasser's conduct must be unwelcome"............ ..
i thought the 3rd item was interesting...maybe a fellow employee felt slighted...or felt the employee that dave was schtooping got favorable treatment or advancement...maybe the affairs created a hostile work environment in which female employees felt pressured to be more "friendly" to dave in order to advance?.....it happened more than once...
any number of situations can constitute harrassment...doesn`t have to involve the "sex-ee"....
i just hope that letterman let ms. birkitt keep the sarah palin wig.....:lol:

i didn`t assume...just stated that when the boss is doing the staff(and it admittedly happened more than once),it should be investigated in fairness to the other employees...
is it possible that employees felt pressured to comply to get ahead?.......did the schtoop-ee get favorable treatment?...is it possible that an employer that is so powerful...that owns all this "stuff"(as k.c. indicated) could let it be known that anybody that tipped the applecart "might not work in the industry again"?.....
if you want to be fair...to be equal....you have to make sure everything was kosher....
there are no complaints vs dave are there :shrug:
letterman is the victim here ala the 2 mirrion extortion :shrug:
wtf am i missing?
by god, do not say anything bad about palin :nono: :nono:
no jackson...i`m not saying that anything happened...
all i`m just saying that any company worth a damn...that gives a damn about it`s employyees...will/should investigate when the boss/supervisor/leader is baggin` the staff.....
there are potential legal issues involved........:shrug:
there shouldn`t be a double standard for celebrities that some folks like because he skewers their political opponents...

you basically are. you are throwing something out there that isn't even remotely part of the story. why are you going down that path at all?
48 hour rule?.....please?...
because i don`t think celebrities should get preferential treatment....any person in authority has a duty to not schtoop the people that he has power over...period...
i take it you guys didn`t like the "let her keep the palin wig" comment?:lol:
he joked about knocking up a teenager, he was absolutely wrong and loses all respect from me
