Is extorted even a word? Well, firefox spell check didn't go off so I guess so. Interestingly enough, "firefox" sets off the firefox spell check. Huh. (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091002/ap_on_en_tv/us_tv_letterman_extortion)
Now to your regularly scheduled bangin' and extortin' action:
David Letterman acknowledged on Thursday's show that he had sexual relationships with female employees and that someone tried to extort $2 million from him over the affairs.
During the taping of his CBS late-night show in New York, Letterman discussed receiving a threat to either pay $2 million or risk the relationships being made public.
In a release from the show's production company, Letterman said he referred the matter to the Manhattan district attorney's office and that an investigation ended in an arrest Thursday. Letterman did not identify the person he said was arrested.
As part of the investigation, Letterman said he issued a "phony" $2 million check to the individual and the arrest followed — along with testimony by Letterman.
Note the plurals of relationships and employees... Dave always kind of came off as a perv, but he's our perv dammit. I will not have him extradited to Poland to face these charges.

What if she didn't extort him, did you ever think about that? And if she did, what if she said she was sorry?

And has she directed any awesome movies? I think these are all facts that we need to gather before we can determine whether she's guilty or not.

why so smug?
-
There was a prose piece in Zyzzyvva about an assistant for a late night talk show host who had to help cover for him and send flowers and candy to the girls he upset or had ditched. The character sounded a lot like Letterman and it always made me wonder if it was a tad bit non-fiction.

Why? Now that he went to the police she can just go public and say what happened. And last I remembered as long a she isnt lying she can speak freely.

It's the threat to reveal the information unless paid that's illegal.

The threat that she will talk? How is that a threat?

It will damage him, the threatened act can be legal but it will still be extortion.

Then why did the extorter ask money? You know what extortion or blackmail is? It's illegal.

Don't be so harsh, it's physically difficult to read up on the most basic facts about what you're arguing while simultaneously farting on your keyboard

Poor Letterman.
Evil women.
:drake
Wow, where in the article did it say he was being blackmailed by one of the women he was nailing? Turns out that the blackmailer was a dude, a producer from 48 Hours at CBS. Telling that you'd automatically assume that it's a woman...
-
It was a dude threatening him. :-*
-
The extorter was actually John McCain.
Explains the whole McCain/Letterman squabble last year a bit better.

Maybe dude looks like a lady...? :drake

It's not even a woman extorting him, it's some guy named Joe who took pictures of him while he was with women and left a bundle of photos in his car after breaking into it.
-
:rofl
-
You still can't prove Letterman didn't want to be extorted. I've been around a few late night talk show hosts, I know.
-
Ok, now apparently it's just one woman, and the blackmailer was her roommate and he stole her diary lol. Awesome. Also the affair ended in the early 2000s.
-
Does this mean Conan wins?
-
Nowadays we'd just read about it on her twitter.
-
After watching Letterman's confession I have to give him the thumbs up. Holy shit, he handled that well. Without mentioning his wife :lol
-
Apparently all the banging happened before he was married (which just happened earlier this year) and ended when his girlfriend/wife got preggers in 2003.
-
This has to the worst possible blackmailing ever, on the guy that attempted to extort the money. :lol
-
He was "selling Letterman a script based on his infidelities" is the excuse that he's using. :lol
And I was right- as soon as I heard that he was banging a staffer, I instantly thought "I bet it was that Stephanie chick that hung around on the show for several years and was kinda hot"
-
Apparently, there was another woman - at least.
... but who cares? He wasn't married until recently, let him bang who he wants.
-
"Dave's had sex?" :lol - Honestly, I can't picture it. I've seen Letterman's Nailin' Palin, and I still can't picture it.

wrong thread

What is this stuff on the apple I was eating? I was eating halfway when I saw them. At first I thought they were bugs, which kinda made me gag, but on further inspection I think they may be seeds.
Either way, I've never came across this in any apple I eaten and I tend to the whole apple, core and all.
