Just stop it!

I'm back and I'm annoyed. Part of my disposition probably has to do with the fact that the Redskins suck, have a horrible owner, and will continue to suck until he sells the team! Part of my disposition probably has to do with my 22 year old offspring who "just doesn't get it!" But neither of those are the source of today venom.

I really get annoyed at people who attack celebrities for no reason at all. Few people deserve to be attacked as it is, but I hate when people take shots at someone simply because it's a celebrity.

I am really sick of how people are reacting to the David Letterman admission of sex issue. What do you want from him?? I mean, instead of lying about it like many folks have, he didn't succumb to the extortion, co-operated with authorities and came clean with his viewers. Would they rather he lied about it and paid to have it all go away? What would've been the better way to have handle it?

I'm sick of hearing him ridiculed for "taking advantage of staff members." I've watched the video of what he said...I've read police accounts about the investigation, and at NO point has it been mentioned that anyone was taken advantage of. Why is it that when a man has sex with one of his employees, he's instantly crucified for doing something wrong? Maybe they were acts between consenting adults. Maybe she took advantage of him. Maybe she had a habit of showing up naked on his desk every Friday at 9:05am. The fact is, we don't know!!

Why did he apologize? Maybe it was because he knew the feeding frenzy that would occur if any of the media found out about someone else he was having sex with. By most accounts, David Letterman is a private kinda guy, so he's probably sensitive to guarding other people's privacy. Whether consensual or not, some people don't like their business all out there. Maybe he was apologizing to those women for the privacy invasion that is sure to follow.

The fact is that none of us knows what really happened and I am sick of people instantly jumping to assume the worse of others, and perpetuating potentially unsubstantiated innuendo.
