I saw a clip this morning from David Letterman's show last night. Apparently someone was trying to blackmail him with information about him having had affairs with female staff members. So he candidly admitted on his show that he had. To his credit, he did not make light of it or act proud of it. But what I found incredible was that when he said, "Yes, I have had sex with female staff members," the audience erupted in applause!
Isn't this the kind of thing that politicians have had to resign over? Why the double standard?
Actually, whether politicians or TV celebrities or average Joe's, this is a sad statement on where we are as a culture. Not that I am surprised. Only another reminder of the depths to which we have fallen.

I wonder how much the audience was coached to laugh and applaud and wonder how much was thinking it was another joke. Either way, it's a sad statement on how evil is at work among us.
