It seems the late-night host had been having affairs with subordinates for years -- all women, I assume. He was their boss, deciding if they would stay in their jobs and whether they received raises and bonuses. Which women do you think were promoted? How many talented women left because they didn't want such a man pawing all over them? How many were fired?
Of all things NOW has espoused over the years, have you ever heard them talking about the harm such affairs do in the workplace? Or how the greatest percentage of affairs must surely be a male boss and a female subordinate, with the female's job almost always on the line? Wouldn't you think NOW might be concerned about such entanglements? Never can it be a good idea for a boss and a person who reports to him to be involved in an office romance. I've written about this before on my blog.
NOW should be demanding that someone other than CBS investigate Letterman's actions. Is there any labor union at CBS or Letterman's company, Worldwide Pants? If so, where is it in this? Would it not be a good idea for NOW to work with the union in this matter?
It was difficult to watch Letterman confessing on his show last week, hearing the audience cheer and clap when he said he had sex with his staff over the years. Yes, the audience was there to expect jokes. But couldn't they have discerned the difference between a creepy, old guy talking about getting it on with women who worked for him and a tawdry joke? It seems that NOW thought it was all a joke too.

I find it ironic that Dave had no problem lying, cheating, manipulating, and intimidating other people, but when someone tries to get some of his money... OMG ...they have crossed the line and should be punished and everyone should know what that person has done
