A major celebrity sleeps with women who works for him, is caught, is hit up for extortion money,
soldes louboutin chaussures, goes to the cops and ends up having to make a public confession on national TV—sounds like great material for Letterman! Unfortunately for David Letterman,
escarpin louboutin pas cher, it was, as the talk-show host turned the story of a bizarre legal episode into an alternate serious and jokey monologue,

The odd thing about Letterman’s ten-minute confession—you can read Belinda Luscombe’s rundown of the details here—is how much it played for laughs. Some of it was simple tension-relief laughter (“blackmail” gets a big, inexplicable laugh and applause, and most of the audience first seems to think he’s joking when he says he’s had sex with employees). Some of it was straight-up comic monologue (Dave’s discussion of how,

solde christian louboutin, you start thinking of every awful thing you’ve done in your life).
Dave’s long unburdening played well enough in the room; how it will play in the larger world will be interesting. Because however you slice it, this is still seriously icky. A bigshot sleeping with women who work for him, whatever the circumstances, is inevitably bound up with power issues. (You’ll recall this from the Lewinsky scandal,
