TV How to Issue an Apology—the David Letterman Way

Posted by Wm.™ Steven Humphrey on Tue, Oct 6, 2009 at 8:46 AM

Last Thursday, David Letterman announced that someone on the CBS staff was trying to blackmail him for $2 million in exchange for not revealing that he had at one time been sexually involved with some of his staff members. Naturally, Dave said "SCREW YOU" and confessed the whole thing on the Late Show. Last night he apologized for his behavior, to his staff, to his wife, and of course Sarah Palin. If you ever get in trouble, folks, here's how to issue a mea culpa.

Now that he's apologized, let's recall him. And when that recall fails, let's recall him again.

Now, that's how to do an apology! None of this "I'm sorry I got caught" crap that seems to be all the rage with the Larry Craig and Sam Adams crowd.

One other important difference between Letterman and those scumbags is that Dave didn't lie about it to get his job.

While I dont think Sam Adams should lose his job ... I don't think a comedian is the same thing as a mayor. Is it really shocking that an extremely successful comedian has banged a lot of chicks?

I expect fidelity from my late night talk show hosts! What happened to integrity! What happened to the David Letterman who almost gets kicked in the face by Crispin Glover!? That's my David Letterman! Recall!

"Staff in that position"
Nice work by Dave. That is a true admission of guilt without any bullshit.
Sex with Letterman must be scary.......very scary. Anyone think he might be into infantilism???
