Is it just me--does anyone else smell a Rovelike stench around the Letterman extortion plot?

He has made some very Republican enemies lately. And CBS is way in to the corrupt news organization thing nowadays.Would they really allow their Late Night cash cow to die like they did Rather?

It's probably just a coincidence.

Right?

On edit, just discovered the affair was back in 2003? When RoveCo was at the height of his media-pwning power

21. Wanting to control David Letterman...
 ...would be a coup for anyone in power.

Letterman has a ton of influence. People really like him and listen to him. He's
got credibility.

Blackmailing him--to get him to shut up and to keep him from using comedy to go after
certain people, groups or ideologies--is not exactly out of the realm of possibilities.

I'm not saying that Rove did this.

However, we all sense that our politicians are being blackmailed--or at the very least
known corruption is being held over their heads. Siebel Edmonds talked about politicians
being blackmailed.

I don't have any evidence that this was happening to Letterman--but why would anyone be
immune to it? Especially a very powerful, influential entertainment personality?

If they succeed at blackmailing you--then they've got your original crimes plus your
complicit cover-up. Letterman made sure that no one owned him.

At least Letterman had the cajones to come forward. Can you image the numbers that are owned?

That there is funny.
When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

And this is different from every other day in the last few years how? And just how would Rove pull this off? Did Rove drug Dave, pull his dick out of his pants and insert it in the nearest Letterman staffer? In order to be blackmailed wouldn't one have to do something at least slightly hinky?

With whom??  It's not enough to have influence and credibility, it depends on who it is that regards you as having influence and credibility.

For the Cliff Notes version:

Influence and credibility with CoffeeCat and those like him = worthless
Influence and credibility with USA4ME and those like him = priceless

Those people should all be incredibly rich....they have such fertile imaginations ....they should be writing books, movies, tv shows!!!

Honestly....does anyone really give a shit if Letterman slept with someone who worked on his show?

Maybe his wife....but outside of people who live for Hollywood gossip...I doubt anybody else does.

However.....Letterman's scandal came along at a good time. Took over first place on the news over General McKrystal asking for more personnel to fight a war, the health care bill, and unemployment statistics....

Wonder how much the DNC paid the guy to try to blackmail Letterman.... :uhsure:
