Bottomline, he had sex with his employees. This would be somehow unacceptable, no matter what kind of job you are doing.

CBS should fire David.
CBS doesn't employ Letterman.

In some marriage treaty, if the husband/wife cheated, then years won't be that much an important factor in the equation. The cheating spouse will get nailed bloodily.

His wife was willing to have his child out of wedlock and hang around for 23 years waiting for marriage; she had no clue at all during that time that he was sleeping around?
Or she knew and decided to wait for a big pay day. She's certainly shown she has patience. I hope she takes him to the cleaners.

I suspect the bimbos who eagerly performed sexual acts with him are busy now contacting lawyers for sexual harassment lawsuits and will claim they felt pressured for their job security.

Not really. Not since they pushed the sex harassment laws through, those laws that make quid pro quo illegal as hell. Even making lewd comments to co-workers is not just someone's own business - not anymore.

Anyhow he sure didn't believe in sex lives being someone's own business when he suggested that 14 year old Willow Palin was being knocked up by a much older baseball player.

Ironic, isn't it?

As he was living with the woman for 19 years, they were common law husband and wife. I am afraid that "sensitive and insightful" (self described) will have to cough up a ton of cash.

I know someone who saw the Letterman show. Prior to the show, Letterman addressed the audience on how to behave. He dressed down a couple of employees and was a real ass to the audience. Typical hypocritical liberal- love the world- screw thy neighbor. Morals are only a false mask, through which one sips wine and eats bree. Pull off the mask and you have a hypocritical, ill mannered pig below.

Sexual harassers: their patterns, personalities, and types of harassment (http://www.sexualharassmentsupport.org/TypesOfHarassers.html - broken link)

Harasser Personality Traits and Attitudes

Behavior and motives vary between individual harassers. Four dimensions, or "themes," have been described to help further understand the dynamics that can shape harasser behavior. While they were originally written to illuminate the dynamics in sexual harassment by male teachers, the information is easily appropriate to describe harassers in any setting--professional, educational, church/clerical, etc. (Also, some female harassers can be placed in a few of these dimensions.) Each dimension is comprised of two profiles, each representing the end of a “pole.” Please note that these are not entirely mutually exclusive dimensions, and a harasser's placement into any is a matter of judgement.

Public versus Private Harassers: Public harassers are blatant about their seductive or sexist attitudes towards colleagues, subordinates, or students. They like to tell sexist, or sexual jokes, and can be overtly sexual or seductive in their approach. They are "show offs" and their attitudes are a call to attention and meant to make them seem more manly or more powerful. Private harassers are intensely interested in their images, cultivating personas that seem to be restrained and conservative. However, when they are alone with their target, their demeanor will change dramatically. The target will find themselves is a sexual confrontation, and usually a "my word against yours" dilemma should they try to file a grievance. (The deception, and secretiveness of the activities are part of the excitement for the Private Harasser.)

The Untouchable versus The Risk-Taker: The Untouchable does not consider the consequences of his or her actions, believing themselves to be in control, free of any real risks, and beyond the ranks of censorship or reprimands. They may even flaunt sexual liaisons with coworkers, subordinates, or students, viewing this as a challenge to the system. For the most part, they are narcissistic and grandiose, viewing themselves as “untouchable,” much like the egocentric adolescent who does not believe the will ever “get caught” or who continually drives drunk. The Risk-Taker knows they are being “naughty” and their actions are a statement, and at the same time, the risk-taker fears punishment for the transgressions. They will vacillate between the “high” of breaking-the-rules and guilt at the immorality of their actions. The sexual harassment target will symbolize the transgression, and symbolize the harasser’s weakness. Because of this the harasser will blame the victim, labeling them a “tempter” or “temptress” who has taken advantage. Indeed, the Risk-Taker will view themselves as being the victims, and not the other way around.

The Seducer-Demander versus the Passive-Initiator: The Seducer-Demander is a “power player” who actively plots sexual encounters using his or her position to do so. A Demander has little more than contempt for their targets, and they broker favors for sex as their way of keeping people in their “proper place.” A Seducer also uses their position to facilitate sexual encounters but they have a need to be desired and loved, and the power of their position, and the effect it has on their targets, is part of this dynamic. The Passive-Initiator is the person who pays special attention to a subordinate or student, is flirtatious and flattering, but who does not make the first overtly sexual overture. They will argue that, if the subordinate is the one to initiate sexual contact, then the superior is not guilty of any transgressions. However, it has been argued that an unequal power distribution in this kind of relationship makes the superior's concession to the overtures exploitation, particularly in terms of student-teacher sexual relations. That the subordinate "asked" is not an excuse for complying. The Passive-Initiator "draws the line between morality and immorality at who does the asking.

The Infatuated versus The Sexual Conqueror: The Sexual Conqueror is the typical Don Juan (or Juanita) who seduces many people. They will remember little about each conquest, as they are only interested in numbers. In many cases, they will not even be able to match a name to a face. The Infatuated begins by developing a “crush” on a student or subordinate, which may evolve into stronger feelings. The primary attraction to the target is that they are lower in the hierarchy which makes the Infatuated feel stronger and more powerful then they would in a relationship with a peer. They want to be looked up to, and to be the center of the relationship. They want to be the teacher who “guides” the lover. In many cases, the Infatuated are very discontented with their own status within their departments or companies, and the relationship with the subordinate is a panacea to this, and helps to bolster the Infatuated's self-esteem. (Please note: the Infatuated might also be observed in a reverse mode, with a subordinate targeting a superior, with the power disparity being the same basis for the attraction, and even leading to erotomanic or intimacy seeker stalking--see Types of Stalkers )

Sexual harrassement laws cover unwanted behavior. Your previous use of the word "bimbo" to describe the women with whom he may have been involved would suggest that they weren't victims. Even you made it seem like the sexual contact wasn't unwanted.

1. By continuing to insist that he made the comments intentionally about the 14, rather than the older daughter makes you lose credibility. The comments were at best poor judgement when they were made with the belief that it was the older daughter. You don't have to spin it to make it worse than it was.
2. Letterman made no comment that he believed his sex life was his own business. Malamute made that comment.

No, they weren't common law husband and wife.
