I don’t think you’ve seen Letterman since 1992.

Think about it. An award-winning producer for a network investigative journalism program doesn’t know better than to engage in blatant face-to-face blackmail and extortion of a famous celebrity?

Come on, people. There’s got to be more to this story. Here’s an alternative — and arguably, more plausible — theory:

Someone or some entity who’s got it out for Letterman — perhaps, an entity ideologically opposed to his politics and angered by his frequent barbs at the expense of political figures such as Sarah Palin and earlier, Bush and Cheney — receives word that Letterman employees have been pressured into having sex with the boss.

The victims of this alleged sexual harassment let their complaints become known to certain authorities, but don’t go public for fear of losing their jobs. Or perhaps Letterman’s employee sexual partners are themselves blackmailed into betraying their lecherous boss.

The instigating party finds a TV journalist/producer they can compromise. Perhaps the producer was himself the victim of blackmail or other pressure intended to secure his cooperation.

The producer becomes the “patsy” who is tasked with setting up a sting on Letterman.

Letterman naively (and egotistically) considers himself the victim, dutifully reports the “crime” against him to the local authorities, goes down to the grand jury, and confesses to what amounts to employer sexual harassment. (Letterman is a principal in the company that produces his program.)

CBS then has no choice but to fire Letterman and replace him with the wildly popular, up-and-coming Craig Ferguson, Dave’s own anointed successor (and, ironically, also an employee of Letterman’s production company).

Thus David Letterman is taken down for years of scathing comedic attacks on political figures who may or may not have used their personal and official contacts to set into motion the events that will end David Letterman’s long and tumultuous on-air career. Perhaps Dave’s company is permitted by CBS to produce the new Craig Ferguson Late Show, avoiding a legal battle between the network and its deposed star.

Again, all of the above is just a theory…

…a plausible theory, given the odd and incredulous circumstances which have thus far come to light.

There was a time I found Letterman funny….but I long ago stopped watching when he seemed to take a turn….became bitter and more than a little whiny..perhaps we now know the reason things changed.

LOL @ this. Sarah Palin’s book tops the NYT List (OOOOOOOhhh…that’s gotta sting!) on the day that Letterman admits to everyone that he’s a fossilized male version of a slut.

Banging your employees. No wonder he had no problem with Clintons behavior. Also, its no wonder why he hated such a nice lady like Sarah Palin. Only a sleaze ball like Dave would attack Palins teenage daughter like he did and then take almost a full week before he was finally shamed into giving an actual apology.

What Dave didn’t address is when this was going on. The only way this would have worked (which he didn’t address) if he was doing this while he was with Harry’s baby mama (now recent wife). If so, he may lose half of his precious income while Harry’s mama goes packing!

However, I do think that you’re probably jealous of him. He’s a wealthy guy who has his own TV show – and you? Probably working 9-to-5 in a cubicle somewhere.
