What a PERVERT!!! Have you touched any little girls today Uncle Pervert Letterman.

Dave Let Her Moan   October 6th, 2009 - 7:51 am

Where are the jokes Dave, like the time you “apologized” to Sarah Palin and her daughters?

Typical lib hypocrite.

elizabethrc   October 6th, 2009 - 8:01 am

So typical of cheaters. Sorry Dave, you knew your actions would hurt her while you were doing them, and before, but it didn’t stop you.
She needs to dump your hypocritical ass, take your son and as many of your greenbacks as she can and let you free to score with as many sweet young things as you can.
You’re going to be old some day, and I hope that it is a lonely prospect for you. You deserve nothing less.

dave,rot in the hell you created,no one watches you anymore?

eamon   October 6th, 2009 - 8:29 am

dave will portray himself as the victim, no doubt.

Trent   October 6th, 2009 - 9:02 am

I never seriously watched the show but I caught a few 4 years or so ago. Seemed like he was phoning it in then. I remember the shows from the 80’s. The Harvey Peckar stuff was funny.

SubjectoftheUSSA   October 6th, 2009 - 9:30 am

haha, “my wife has been horribly hurt by my behavior” but that didn’t stop him from joking about it.

World Class douche bag

hwp   October 6th, 2009 - 9:40 am

Seems like this a$$hole doesn’t care who he hurts. Women, young girls..it’s all par for the coursewith Letterman. Sick, sick SOB.

Norm   October 6th, 2009 - 9:48 am

Gee, there’s a surprise!!

So, do we know now why they wouldn’t let him replace Carson? They couldn’t trust him around the help.

Red   October 6th, 2009 - 9:57 am

Dang! Am I ever laughing at “funnyman” David Letterperv now! Hahahhahahah!!!!

I still think the extortion plot was focused on David messing around with Larry “Bud” Melman and someone’s got the pictures. Hahhahah!!!! Poor wittle Dave…

Maybe there is an underage girl or two in there as well? After his “jokes” about Palin’s daughter it wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

katy   October 6th, 2009 - 9:58 am

The joker….becomes the JOKE!

Barry   October 6th, 2009 - 10:16 am

If it wasn’t for your millions of dollars, Dave, I’m sure your wife would’ve left you yesterday! Get some real help!

kmichaels   October 6th, 2009 - 10:25 am

The Palin comment at the end was just part and parcel of Dave’s despicable side.

Ed Sullivan's XXX-Rated Theatre   October 6th, 2009 - 10:26 am

Statement #1: Letterman is a NOT a p-i-g pig…

Statement #2: NO women were ’sexually harassed’…

Statement #3: CBS is a MODEL and ’safe workplace’…

Statement #4: And Letterman IS THE VICTIM IN THIS CRIME…

LOL…yeah, right! Statements #1-4 ARE ALL FALSE! FIRE THIS FREAK!

pepito cojones   October 6th, 2009 - 10:30 am

Ahhhhhhhh, poor little ole Davey Letterman is worried his little wifey’s feelings were hurt, but yet, he jokes about the whole sordid affair during the whole show, and then some. And still has time to inject some Palin jokes nonetheless. Gee, I really despise this fellow. What a schmuck!

jp2feminist   October 6th, 2009 - 10:48 am

Oh! Let’s not brow-beat and humilate Dave and the women with whom he slept! No-o-o-o-o!!! Let’s just brow-beat and humilate Sarah Palin and her teenage daughters. Too bad the guy who exposed Letterman was attempting to commit extortion. The MSM has made Letterman the VICTIM! UNBELIEVABLE! The guy is a total loser (and so is the audience who laughs at his deplorable behavior).

notinmycountry   October 6th, 2009 - 11:02 am

DUH!!!! Wonder if he had a pre-nup? This is about the funniest thing he has done in a long long time. Jerk wad!!!!

707FE   October 6th, 2009 - 11:16 am

I love when people throw stones and end up hitting themselves. Don’t expect any great change or reversal of character from Letterman.

Dave (not Letterman)   October 6th, 2009 - 11:32 am

You were once funny Dave, now your just a rude shuffling liberal apologist. I hope CBS has the good sense to cut you loose when your contract ends. NBC’s has made at least one good business decision in the past 20 years, that was choosing Jay Leno over you.

Charlene   October 6th, 2009 - 11:38 am

David Letterman; always making the snide remarks about everyone and everything for a cheap laugh; hopefully, his days are numbered on late night. The guy is insulting and belittling to his guests, if this is humor and entertainment, we better all re-evaluate this guy, he’s a loser, his writers are even more low class, if that’s at all possible at this point. Dave, you are an OBNOXIOUS character, how your wife stands you is a miracle, I hope she really makes out financially from all this garbage you are all about.

columbia "broad'-casting system...   October 6th, 2009 - 12:27 pm

David Letterman Says Wife Has Been ‘Horribly Hurt by My Behavior’…

Why Dave?

Did she catch some STD’s from you? Or did you try to show her what you learned from your “CBS associates” when you tried to go “off-road” on her? Or is it because she’s wants your money but not the honey?

stacy   October 6th, 2009 - 1:09 pm

Incredibly arrogant.

I think Dave may have jumped the shark here.

He is so sure he has done the right thing. Always sure of himself . . . no regard for anyone else.

I haven’t watched him for years because I hate my comedy stirred up in a hate soup.

doogle   October 6th, 2009 - 1:14 pm

He said all the right words.

There was only one thing missing though…remorse.

doogle   October 6th, 2009 - 1:24 pm

I’m sorry, I’ve already made one comment, but I just can’t let this go.

The man is scum and deserves to be put out on the street with nothing left to his name. Everyone he knows and cares about should, as a group, turn their backs on him and never speak to him again.

But the probelm I have is the fact that ANYBODY in that audience clapped for him at ANY point during his little act of contrition shows me just how lost we are as humans. There was NOTHING soul-saving or funny in his apology monologue…no truth, no honesty, no respect for the pain he caused his wife.

Kris   October 6th, 2009 - 1:26 pm

Poor Dave, he is such a victim. Geez, what a self absorbed jack-ass.

As I wife, I would have been further offended by the lighthearted joking manner this has been addressed with since the beginning.

He could have apologized from the beginning for EMBARRASSING his wife.
But all he does is drone on and on about what a victim he is. No Dave, you brought your problems on yourself….it is your wife who is truly the victim.

And of course he still has Sara on the brain. It’s just driving him nuts he can’t have her!

Dave's Little Willy   October 6th, 2009 - 2:36 pm

Dave we love you and understand why you would be looking for love elsewhere. If you were going to do such a thing, why did you do it with pudgy unattractive women? What’s up with that??? Gee, if you are going to destroy your family, wouldn’t it make sense to go for the gold and bed someone like Sandra Bernhard? Help me out here, Dave.

Kenny C   October 6th, 2009 - 2:41 pm

Hey Dave…..think she’s terribly hurt…..some morning you might wake up with something missing….and you’ll be terribly hurt(aka…Bobbit)..he.he.he and we will finally laugh at you….that should be quiet funny….you moron…..Hey…. Sarah says she can see you cheating on your wife from her kitchen window

LETTERMAN = SCUMBAG LOSER   October 6th, 2009 - 3:10 pm

DIVORCE THE PHREAK AND TAKE AS MUCH $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ AS YOU CAN HONEY!

Desiree   October 6th, 2009 - 3:55 pm

Ya think letcherdouche???? You are a disgusting vile pervert. You have a problem when it comes to women. You have a sick obsession with all things
Sarah Palin. Reality check dave, Sarah Palin is too classy a woman for you and she’s out of your league. You aren’t even the least bit funny. You are an old
tired nasty bitter old man. It seems the only way you can get a woman is through your position and with your money. Now put that in that gap-toothed mouth of
yours and chew on it. You suk!!!!!

N Waff   October 6th, 2009 - 4:16 pm

=============================
Wasn’t it Letter who was saying that Sarah Palin’s daugher is slut?
=============================

Karen R   October 6th, 2009 - 4:36 pm

Poor, poor Dave. A VICTIM! A person who cannot legitimately apologize for his actions.

MikeMaz   October 6th, 2009 - 5:25 pm

The guy had sex with women he works with. OMG call the cops lol
Its funny how no one in here seems to think its odd, wrong, and sad that a guy is trying to blackmail Letterman and accepted a 2 Mil check, and is twioe divorced himself lol. Its hilarious how that doesnt seem to bother you but a guy who had consensual sex with other adults and is blackmailed gets your goat.
So funny. Dave did 100% the right thing. he was blackmailed, he immediately reported it to the feds, testified, etc. His sexual history with other adults is not our business. Its his, the women, and his wife.
Man you cons are so pathetic when it comes to sex.

Whatwhatwhat   October 6th, 2009 - 5:36 pm

Nothing typical about this. Dave is a stand-up guy who admitted his misdeeds and appropriately apologized for them. He didn’t lie about it and he wasn’t going to be blackmailed over it.

None of you hypocrites have even come close to heaping condemnation on your rethug Ensign who paid HUSH money out of his campaign funds and Sanford who shamed his whole state and abandoned his wife and kids on FATHER’S DAY for his mistress!

romil4   October 6th, 2009 - 5:40 pm

What a PIG! He’s making a joke of it. How disgusting is that? I’m curious as to when this all started (the blackmail letter) as I suspect that’s why he finally married his long-time girl friend just a short time ago. I wondered why he suddently married the mother of his son after all this time. Maybe that was part of the “work cut out for me” business. I could say more but Desiree covered everything I wanted to say very well.

Socialism Anyone?   October 6th, 2009 - 8:19 pm

He’s such a comic genius. I think his audience is almost as sick as he is….they actually find something funny in all this sad mess. I’m pretty sure his wife, kid and girl friends are basking in all this publicity, too.

Love It   October 6th, 2009 - 8:25 pm

The liberal icons are dropping like flies.

Whatwhatwhat SUCKS everything   October 6th, 2009 - 8:32 pm

Dave would have been a perfect “Richard” but someone stuck ears on the dumb pos!!

LSteveTaylor   October 6th, 2009 - 8:33 pm

cbs is as stupid as little david, the has been comic, ego idiot, that
uses his little boss position to prey on his on employees, so how do you say
scum sucking rat in the USA, little david littleman

Whatwhatwhat   October 7th, 2009 - 1:38 am

“Scum sucking rat in the USA” is already in use by Rethug Gov. Sanford and Sen. Ensign.

Gaptooth freak   October 7th, 2009 - 1:40 pm

She is still an ex-employee in his eyes, she probably got pregnant and wouldn’t abort so he had to marry her.

Ray D. Aider   October 7th, 2009 - 3:23 pm

I worked in the same place for 30 years in a place that had over 5000 employees. Affairs happened all the time. A wise man there used to say. “You don’t get your meat in the same place you get your bread.”

The Bible says “whatever you do in the dark will be shouted from the housetops…”

Welcome to the big fat hypocrite club there Dave.

Cooper71   October 7th, 2009 - 4:34 pm

His audience is make up of a bunch of clapping nit-wits.

What a bitter, unfunny, liberal, sorry sack Letterman is.

Bob   October 7th, 2009 - 4:41 pm

MikeMaz wrote “His sexual history with other adults is not our business. Its his, the women, and his wife.”

It is our business because Dave made it our business when he admitted what he did on national TV and made it a part of his comedy routine. It ends up that Dave was supposedly sleeping with the girlfriend of the blackmailer. Dave is just lucky the guy did not go postal on him like many men would have. I just wonder how many of these women were married or have boyfriends who may now find out that they were betrayed. How many people may be hurt or families destroyed because of Dave’s actions. Oddly enough the blackmailer was apparently a victim of Dave’s before Dave became a victim of his. The guy probably could have gotten as much money from the tabloids but he was probably motivated by revenge which may actually help him get him out of serious trouble. Oh, and adultery is a crime in New York.

mike nashville tn   October 7th, 2009 - 5:06 pm

Let whoever is without sin throw the first stone…

All have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God

Christ died for all while we were yet sinners

Believe on the Lord Jesus the Christ and you shall be Saved to life everlasting

Depart From evil and do Good

May God give you the wisdom to seek understanding

God desires mercy and not sacrifice

c kooper   October 7th, 2009 - 5:10 pm

Just another worthless little liberal turd that needs to be flushed. So please excuse me while I go take a Letterman.

Bruno   October 7th, 2009 - 6:08 pm

Interesting how he keeps trying to emphasize his victim status rather than that being merely related to his cheating. “I was such a victim I forgot to apologize to my wife and coworkers”.

Art   October 7th, 2009 - 6:25 pm

This douchebag is one great big hypocrite! Makes a living out of joking about other peoples behavior, and then turns out to be behaving in exactly the same way himself. Is ANYONE surprised?

joe   October 7th, 2009 - 6:29 pm

I hope somebody is screwing Daves wife while he’s away!

Sharon   October 7th, 2009 - 6:38 pm

What a sleazy slimey piece of liberal garbage. He is a pig. After all the vile jokes about underage Palin girls this makes you realize what a scumbag he really is. Typical Liberal trash.

Drago   October 7th, 2009 - 8:54 pm

Wait til you have a little girl Dave, then you’ll see how someone has hurt your little girl by either by exposing the unknow affair or being called slut by a TV gossipist like you.
You Freak, you should be in jail with the pedophiles.

Joe Mama   October 7th, 2009 - 9:42 pm

Dave, it is really enjoyable to see you squirm. You are a hypocritical moron who loves to dish it out, but now it’s you in the spotlight. You are a disgrace.

Alex   October 8th, 2009 - 12:30 am

This confession now means Dave is qualified to run for office as a member of the Democratic party. Like Clinton and Edwards, they all have horrible tastes in women they screw around with.

KDL   October 8th, 2009 - 3:24 am

AHAHAHAHAAHAAHAA! Cons are SO uptight when it comes to sex!

Did someone say adultry is a crime? SO? HE WASN’T MARRIED, YOU NITWIT!

AHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHAAHAAAHAAHAAAA!!!!

jope   October 8th, 2009 - 3:53 am

I guess he still is making jokes about Palin, so it must be ok to hurt that family…anyone who advertises on Letterman will not get any of my money until this pervert is gone.

Tom   October 8th, 2009 - 5:54 am

Okay, Dave’s a scumbag. Now, what about the women. They knew he was married. Or is it, that’s just what women
do, have sex with the boss.

LETTERMAN'S WIFE FIGHTS BACK! & HARD!   October 11th, 2009 - 11:57 pm

THERE IS KARMIC JUSTICE AFTER ALL!
