Here's a radical suggestion: if he had avoided abusing his power by sleeping with his subordinates, there would have been nothing to blackmail him over.

Grr.

Another great talent falls to human foibles. Sad as it is, the wheel of such events will never stop.

I've got to say, that misspelling that is cow-orkers in the title has had me laughing all day.

There's zero indication of harassment or even duplicity toward his wife. Maybe it's not how you or I would roll, but it's his life.  Even as he referred to his actions as "creepy," he was direct and unapologetic and unregretful. And any one of us who've ever had a private life knows it's not for anyone else to judge. "Yes, I have had sex," he said. Cue applause.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.salon.com/mwt/broadsheet/feature/2009/10/02/letterman_affair/index.html"><div align="center"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/44QgPty17Mc&hl=en&fs=1&" height="329" width="400" wmode="opaque" quality="high" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" sap="flash" sap-mode="checked" sap-type="flash" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CE113018-5B73-4491-A928-60E21D8155B3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
