This seems to me like the same thing that happened to John Travolta. Someone has some real dirt on the celebrity in question and the only thing they have on said celebrity is minor. Like the papers John Travolta signed for his son to get care in the Bahamas. And in Letterman's case, he slept with women he worked with.

I sense a cover-up. Both the extortionists in these cases probably had way more dirt on them than the public will be privy to. Who knows what kind of things Letterman really did but if the man wanted $2 million I figure it was more than just he slept with a few women. And in Travolta's case, I figure it was something a little more than a paper he signed. To ask for that kind of money would mean you have some serious dirt that could wreck someone's life.

CBS is pleased that this will bring their ratings up. Also, they have been connected with the CIA so they protect their assets.

CIA valued CBS
In Rolling Stone’s Oct. 20, 1977 edition, investigative reporter Carl Bernstein wrote:
“CBS was unquestionably the CIA’s most valuable broadcasting asset. CBS President William Paley and Allen Dulles enjoyed an easy working and social relationship. Over the years, the network provided cover for CIA employees…Paley’s designated contact for the Agency was Sig Mickelson, president of CBS News between 1954 and 1961…[CBS News president Richard] Salant…continued many of his predecessor’s practices…”

Every married woman who works with Letterman is now thrown into an uncomfortable position. No pun intended. (honest, well not much)

Lots of people shag their staff. Its a natural way of life. I'm marrying one of my old staff.

From WHAT I HAVE SEEN Letterman has done nothing to sugget that he is CIA. He COULD be though, who knows. He certainly did NOT like Bush's policies though, but let's see if he likes Obama's.

Letterman always seemed a straight up guy to me. I think that the PTB dont like people like Letterman because of his INFLUENCE. It doesnt surprise me that Letterman is being targetted. Anyone who is influential ALWAYS gets targetted and exposed for SOMETHING (even if it isnt true) in the Mainstream Media. I hope that Letterman IS a genuine guy - I have heard him say that he didnt agree with the war in Iraq.

The guy(s) who were allegedly blackmailing Letterman are DEFINITELY not good guys IF IT IS TRUE THAT THEY TRIED TO GET MONEY FROM LETTERMAN. That bit COULD be made up though (a fabrication....but it could be true). We can only speculate, and keep an open mind to any future information that is released.
But like I said I have heard him say that he didnt agree with the war in Iraq.

Watch the (edited) video of Letterman talking about the blackmail attempt (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8287801.stm)

I somewhat like Letterman. I think if he were to sit down and have a proper interview with jokes aside, he's have some interesting stories to tell.

'From the greatest shitty in the world! Daaavid Letterman...' :)

did this really deserve a bump?
