Poor Letterman! Don't you feel sorry for him? I like to send flowers and wine bottle to take his sorrows away. May be liberal media can have million fan march in support of Letterman to his love shack in CBS studios

The charge was dropped against the man arrested for extorting Oprah. It seems he released a tape to the media that proved he didn't do it and the prosecution dropped the charges. After that he published all of Oprah's dirty secrets in a book entitled Ruthless. It is a great read! You can hear portions of the tape on his website www.ruthlessbiz.com
