I want to shine a little "lyte" on propriety. Quick! What do a famous late night talk show host and a senator from Nevada have in common? Times up, they both had affairs with women on their staff. They both admitted the affairs when someone threatened to take the information public. Their paths diverge when one of them worked with their blackmailer and the other one went public to expose their blackmailer.
Guess who is in trouble? The senator from Nevada. Big time. In addition to creating a job for the husband of his paramour, he went one step further and had his parents pay him hush money. Still worried about keeping the cuckolded hubby quiet, the lobbying firm that he set hubby up at mainly lobbied the senator himself. This violates Senate ethics. Yes, there are ethics in the senate, they are kind of like Mary Magdalene in Protestant churches; dusty forgotten things that are only brought out like once a year.
David Letterman's infidelity is getting a lot more press. Shocking to think that a famous, powerful man would sleep around. Would use his office, complete with pull out couch, as a love nest. Would have more than one affair. Yawn. Who cares? The only interesting twist was the $2 million dollar extortion attempt. What dim bulb would think that anyone short of the Pope would pay $2 million dollars rather than admit an affair?
So, nooky is back in the news. I have a feeling that Letterman will keep his job. Ensign? Stay tuned, that party is just getting started. Haven't these guys heard of Ashley Madison?
