Here we are once again; watching many in the media in a near fatal state of palpitation over a public figure having sex.

Thanks to breaking news over the past 48 hours, we now have every reason to believe that David Letterman enjoys and engages in sexual relationships.  Hold onto your hats folks because the effects of that are still rippling through a ridiculous and repressed culture of feigned indignation.  The real news is that David Letterman was the victim of a terrible crime; a victim.

In a shocking display of that indignation, Mika Brzezinski of MSNBC’s Morning Joe show actually mustered up the audacity to liken David Letterman to the child rapist, Norman Polanski.  Mika Brzezinski was in the company of a few other pseudo journalists who secretly want the salacious so badly they blame the victim.  If a victim is a target because they were having sex, I suppose they are immediately guilty of something – even if they have to invent it.

Mika treated us to baseless statements of “coercion” and “abuse of power”.  I suppose we are meant to believe that if David Letterman is having sex with someone who works for him, it is a given he is coercing or threatening them.  One might find an interesting irony in the fact that Mika Brzezinski had a relationship with and married her boss.  Absolutely zero time was devoted to discussing the criminal (a friend of Mika’s) who attempted to extort 2 million dollars from David Letterman.

The outrage belongs to the listener of this slanderous nonsense.  If Mika and her media ilk are so determined to find criminal behavior, perhaps someone should remind them that slander is a crime.  I might also argue that Mika’s maniacal tirade was an assault on me and an assault on decency.

David Letterman did the right thing.  He has been through an awful ordeal and worked with authorities through the investigation and sting operation that led to the arrest of the actual criminal here.  He did the right thing even though he knew that would lead to forced public disclosures on his sex life…something not even Mika Brzezinski should be privy to.
