I knew since his appalling shows from London years ago that David Letterman was overrated. Now I know he is a swine. Anyone who systematically has sex with women he employs is despicable (extra points if he is also and at the same time formally married). Even supposing for a minute that he had not used blackmailing tactics in his approach, there is no way that a targeted employee would not feel her job was not safe if she turned him down. This is next door to rape, and he did it again and again. If only half the indignation aimed at Roman Polanski would hit this systematic and deliberate swine, and force him out of his inexplicable prominence in American TV, I for one would feel better.

True. But the argument everyone dusted for Polanski - once found out, it should be punished - is worth tenfold for Letterman, in that we are not speaking of one crime, but of a pattern of behaviour.
