Letterman and the price of infidelity

Watching bits and pieces of David Letterman's on-air confessions has been interesting to say the least. If I was Rita, I would assuredly be putting my husband in the doghouse for acting like, well, a dog. Whether he and Rita can reconcile depends upon the number and degree of hurdles. I will not judge the man, as I feel this is a more of a personal matter between husband and wife. But, at the same time, he is a very public figure. Dave has been on TV for many years! People that don't even watch his show know of him. Most of us are familiar with his "top ten" lists for their humor and commentary. The way that Dave interviews his guests has these same people returning more than once, even the likes of Madonna.

Personally, I hope that he weathers this controversy. He's not a religious leader that is held to a higher standard of morality, so will probably get through this professionally. I have no magic eight ball to predict what happens between him and Rita.

The man that tried to blackmail Dave is the villain here. Besides, this would have come out about Dave's sexual escapades without the threat of blackmail. This ends up making David Letterman the victim instead of him looking like a cad, which admits to being anyway. What a guy!

I still like and admire him in spite of it all.
