David Letterman joked about having affairs with his employees in front of his television audience while presumably his wife of less than one year, mother of his five-year-old child, watched and while claiming he was concerned only for his wife, son, and the women he screwed.

Letterman
Letterman---A small person inside a distorted ego employed by an organization that values money and ratings over all else and an audience desperately trying to be "with it". Welcome to the new America.
Late Night Ugly
Can you imagine the culture at CBS that spawned and enabled this gnarly imbroglio? Last night's mea culpa from Dave was his second in the past few months that is two too many for a show that should provide late night destressing levity -- and, of course, it leaves you shocked at his serial, cavalier poor judgment. Having his cupcakes and eating them too, Dave reminds me of the male lead in Steve Martin's "Shopgirl." Truly repulsive and chilling. Protecting his family? From what? Humiliation? ... Just show-stopping.
The David Letterman Scandal
While the David Letterman scandal is likely sexual harassment and abuse of power in the workplace, I think it could also be one of America's wink-wink "elephants in the room" in which people look the other way despite it happening on every landscape, from small towns to NY/LA.
This age-old phenomenon (and also an abuse of power) is where mongers and hangers-on, both male and female, hope to ride the coat-tails of the powerful, famous and/or rich. It's just the level of exchange can make it distasteful, illegal, unethical or immoral to some. As I put it on Twitter, "whores hope to gain & power mongers hope to claim."
Is there no self-esteem?
