David Letterman's confessions reveal a remarkably self-centered narcissist who has no idea of what a relationship is about. That's not surprising - we're used to it from politicians and media figures - but it isn't playing well on live television. Read More
You get what you give...
❝...he is impossibly narcissistic and incapable of an intimate and sharing relationship.❞ Just an assumption on my part, but it appears the women in his life seemed not to take issue with that fact. Why? Because they are Gold diggers!
I agree, either these women
I agree, either these women have horrible judgement on character or they know exactly what they want from him. Take away his power of being a celebrity and the money, and the women wouldn't even be around him. Either his wife has no self esteem at all or she's been in it for the money. Although they been together for so long, maybe she like every other female who stick it out with men that dont deserve it, thought he was going to change and just love her only. Don't get me wrong, the man is funny and entertaining, although some or maybe most of his jokes are written by other people. But just because someone is entertaining and funny, doesn't make them a good husband, father and or good human being. And to take advantage of these women, knowing that he could, just doesn't make him a good person in my book, but thats my opinion.
Why do all you commenters get your facts so wrong?
All the self righteous indignation is absurd. For the 132nd time, DAVE WAS NOT MARRIED when he had the affair with various women on his show. And obviously for good reason. He wasn't ready to commit to one person, and that's absolutely his decision to make.
So Alex, what makes you think he hasn't settled down and loved only her? Once again HE WAS NOT MARRIED TO HER when he had these other relationships. And what makes you think that it was DAVE taking advantage of these women? I would be shocked if it wasn't more the other way around, where these women were throwing themselves at Dave hoping that they would end up being the 'one'. Keep in mind, THIS IS NOT A CASE where a sexual harassment case is pending against Dave or of exposed marriage infidelities by Dave. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT!!! These relationships were between consenting adults.
And his wife should be more publicly supportive of Dave considering he was the victim of blackmail. She should feel fortunate that she ended up landing the big fish after all those years. If she can't handle being married to David Letterman I'm sure there are many that would line up to take her place.
Dual Diagnosis: Dysfunctional at Home and at Work
David Letterman took mistress on family vacations with wife
http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2009/10/report-david-letterman-too...
The David Letterman sex scandal has taken a bizarre new twist – following revelations that The Late Show icon took his mistress Stephanie Birkitt on a Caribbean vacation with his wife Regina Lasko and their young son.
The New York Post is reporting that Lasko had no idea that her husband was involved with the $200,000 a year employee who is at the center of a $2 million blackmail plot involving television producer Robert Halderman.
A hostile, sexually charged work atmosphere
http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/features/2009/10/david-letterman-200910
Two years after they received my submission packet, I got the call: Dave wanted to meet me. By then, I was living in L.A. and had already written an episode for The Simpsons and served as story editor on Newhart during its final season. Still, Late Night was my dream job, so when I got the offer, I left the sitcom I’d just started on and moved back East. Walking into 30 Rockefeller Center on my first day as a Letterman writer was one of the happiest moments of my life. . . .
Did Dave hit on me? No. Did he pay me enough extra attention that it was noted by another writer? Yes. Was I aware of rumors that Dave was having sexual relationships with female staffers? Yes. Was I aware that other high-level male employees were having sexual relationships with female staffers? Yes. Did these female staffers have access to information and wield power disproportionate to their job titles? Yes. Did that create a hostile work environment? Yes. Did I believe these female staffers were benefiting professionally from their personal relationships? Yes. Did that make me feel demeaned? Completely. Did I say anything at the time? Sadly, no.
One more thing, and this is
One more thing, and this is in the direction of the author Dr Peele.
I'm not sure what you're smoking, but what 'free love concept' of marriage are you referring to? He was dating but was NOT married to his present wife at the time of his affairs with others.
You and other callow individuals seem to totally neglect that Letterman was the VICTIM of an extortion attempt. This was not a sexual harassment case, or of marriage infidelities broken. You seem to be more concerned about the fact that one of his flings was with a NYU intern the age of your daughter, who for all intents and purposes was a consenting adult in the affair. Perhaps you've got some Freudian envy at not being able to get anywhere close to women of that age that would see you as an object of sex appeal?
And if you're unfamiliar, Dave is a COMEDIAN who pokes fun of others as that's what his occupation calls for. He also has so numerous times made fun of himself on the show. And the very presence of the second mea culpa refutes your claim that "David Letterman's confessions reveal a remarkably self-centered narcissist who has no idea of what a relationship is about". The very fact you would even pile on this additional shot after the second mea culpa refutes it outright shows the extremes you'll go to bash Dave even if you have to misrepresent the facts. To review, this second mea culpa also apologized to all the women presently on his show that were harassed by the press afterward as he did not make clear that the relationships were in the past.
Your holier than thou claim to take up the noble mantle of being the perfect gentleman and deceitful statements of Letterman only impugns your credibility as anyone to comment on the situation. It's also sickening and reeks of Penis Envy. You're not Dave Letterman, so get over yourself already.

Thank you - a spiritual void - takes time and effort to fill - negative body imaging if often treated first by awareness then action and more action. http://www.soberlanding.com http://www.roserehab.com
