The news broke today that Late Night television host David Letterman
has been the victim of an extortion attempt by someone threatening to
expose his sexual trysts with various co-workers. Ordinarily his
conduct really wouldn't be newsworthy except for the half-wit trying to
get rich quick by shaking Letterman down. Over the past year, David
has had an issue with Sarah Palin, using her and her family as fodder
for many jokes both humorous and in some cases cruel. Now that his
private, personal life has become public, I thought it would be
interesting if Sarah Palin were to send him a letter of support and
condolence. It might go something like this:
Dear David,
I can't tell you how sorry I am that some deranged person has violated
your privacy and exposed you and your family to public ridicule and
scrutiny. Believe me when I tell you, I know the pain and heartache
that one endures when personal matters become public through no fault
of their own. We, as public figures expect a certain amount of
interest in our lives and families. We don't however expect to have
our lives laid bare for all to see and criticize. There are limits of
decency that all too often are set aside by people in pursuit of
financial gain. David, I know you will persevere and put this behind
you. Time will dull the sting of these personal violations of your
privacy and hopefully the future will offer you and your family the
appropriate separation of public and private life that everyone
deserves.
God Bless,
Sarah
