The dude who extorted him had a legit beef with Dave, for he was messing with his GF during the time she was living with him. Dave has no regards for another man's women either.

Letterman will get his in the end. Use the show to air your nasty laundry. With no regards to others people feelings. He could of told his wife first in private. But no the rating.

The attorney for the accused may wipe the silly grin off buck tooth Dave's face.

CBS and Letterman are loving it. Letterman has NO respect for his WIFE, his coworkers, his employees, women, and female children. He uses them for sport and ratings.
