I am totally with Margo on this.  I don’t think I was clear in my first post.  I forgot how the comments post.

The New York Post reported today, Thursday, that Burkitt and Letterman were seen making out in August.  If true, that means the affair wasn’t over when he got married in March.

David Letterman is an entertainer.  His wife is not naive and she worked in the industry and she knows David.  

David is rich, powerful and attractive.  It is funny how posters respond and I could tell based on their previous post how they respond to this article by Margo. 

Thanks Margo-  I needed the relief.

Margo,

Everything you said I’ve been saying since this story broke. Thank you for putting it out there. His wife knew long before any of us did, as did his mother. Ms. Burkitt was still working there, which tells me that the relationship ended on good terms. If her greedy husband had kept his mouth shut none of us would ever have known. David was apologizing this time around to his wife for her having to go through it all over again and in the public eye. The rest has already been worked out between the two of them, where it belongs. That’s not to say I think what he did was OK, it’s not, but it is up to Mr. & Mrs. Letterman as to whether they want to work things out, everyone else needs to butt out. I wish them the best of luck. The sooner the media drops this the better, their son is of the age where he will understand and it will have a negative effect on him. THAT is the worst side-effect of all of this.

Have to admire Margo your ability to ace lighting a coal and ingniting a firestorm of response! You have to be number one on WOW, of putting a subject out there and pulling the largest repsonses in a short amount of time!

As far as David, I would think before he ever said a word in public, the subject had been well discussed in private and done by mutual decision. He is to smart even in dumb moves, to do otherwise.

You know, I initially thought everyone took literally, and took offense to Margos statement about "volunteering" for the same reasons I did. Which was that I have run across too many women who say similar things and DO mean them literally, and I didn’t pause to think about what MARGO would likely mean. 

However, I have to revise that.  Margo explained it was not literal. So it would seem to me now, that most are just jumping on what they see as an opporturnity to slam her.

Anyway, people are not all the same in their experiences, how they word things, or their sense of humour.  I would not have worded things the way Margo did- but then if she were just like me- she’d be redundant. 

But I find it extremely unsettling the positive GLEE that seems to emanate from some posters at an opportunity to give a different meaning to Margo’s words (in spite of her clarifications), and then slam her for it. 

I find it funny that so many (Margo included) think this "thread", "postings", etc., has started up such a "firestorm". It took only a few of us to disagree with what Margo said and so many reacted.

I’m with the 1%. Most of the 99% left are agreeing. But, man, you get a conservative, a Christian, a person with just morals … and you all fly off the handle!!

Well, the 1% of us must have struck a nerve with most of you.

BTW — I’d say at least 90% of you DO NOT KNOW WHAT SEXUAL HARASSMENT IS. Or at least you have changed the meaning.

I also can’t believe how loyal you all are to Margo, when she insulted your intelligence with her earlier comment.

Fine, you 99% … go have sex with whomever you want. It seems to be the only thing you think about.

Marie, unfortunately I am too familiar with people like you. You use the term Christian to cover your behind. You expect God to follow your whims, your direction. I’ve got news for you. He has set out ten rules. You work on them and then we’ll talk. As it stands now, no matter if the man cheated once or as a daily habit; you have no right to judge him with limited facts. Remember the line about not judging lest you be judged? 

  And why are you closely following this story? Does it give you a vicarious thrill, a guilty pleasure? Look to your own life and not a boob tube personality for substance. I think this whole situation has you all hot and bothered. 

After Ted Kennedy died, there were a plethora of news documentaries about the Kennedys aired or rerun.  One mentioned that they KILLED a tell-all book. Its not the same as what happened here, as far as we know, but how exactly does that happen? Does money change hands?

How do you kill, a book, a screen play about your life? How is it done and is money involved?

I like to take things apart and look at them sideways.
