When I've seen Stephanie Birkitt on the Late Show, she's made a solid comic contribution. I don't think the comment today at 1:52 PM makes a good point that we must enforce strict policies of sexual equilibrium. Whether the question that Letterman is a man and Birkitt is a woman is relevant I am suspect. Letterman is certainly not scum. This was surely a calculated move on Letterman's part and other similar personalities in the media would likely have the same influence to make similar disclosures.

Kudos to Dave for breaking the news himself. How many of us would like the choice to air our deepest secrets on national t.v., or let Harvey Levin make jokes about them on TMZ instead? His staffer must not have been very bright to keep diaries and photos lying around. I hope the "emmy winning" blackmailer enjoys a long vacation in prison. Who's ever going to work with him again?

I have had problems watching David Letterman for sometime. He's changed...more edgy, more mean..more political. I was truly surprised at this revelation..and thought his presentation was totally wrong. The audiance was doing that "nervous laugh thing"...it was strange. A serious matter should not be delivered like a joke! How is this less serious than the Bill Clinton mess? Bosses use their authority all the time in situations like this...even in the 21st century..and women still don't know how to handle it. He's scum in my book..and I'll never look at him the same.
