Even though David Letterman has been exposed as a cheater and arguably a dirtbag (apparently, he had sex with multiple women on his staff, while married to his wife, Regina), somehow I find myself not hating him.

My first reaction when I heard about the story -- a CBS producer was blackmailing Letterman, threatening to come forward and publicly announce details of his affairs unless he paid $2 million -- was that I was just weirded out. It came out of nowhere. The funnyman has always been on my good side, and all of the sudden, he was admitting to these affairs. It was just such a weird story to me.

To me, it seems like it was handled very unconventionally. Letterman admitted to the affairs right away, which I think helped his case. I think everyone learned a little something from Clinton.

Dave laid out all the details on his show Thursday night, mixing in jokes and making it even stranger, but I do think it's better to lay everything on the table than to hide it or drive people to do the research themselves -- propelling a massive technologic rumor mill, as it usually goes these days.

When he was explaining the details of the blackmail, he said "Would it be embarrassing if it were made public? Perhaps it would -- especially for the women."

Here's the video:

Judge for yourselves. I will NEVER be one to condone cheating, but I'm very confused by this whole situation -- and why I don't hate him.

Is that just me?
