CBS employee charged with Letterman extortion plot

[RICHARD]

I thought RICHARD was referring to what Letterman said about Sarah Palin's daughter...which created quite a kafuffle.

No one is excusing Letterman here, RICHARD - just noting that there was an attempt at extortion. Extortion is nothing great either.

Had he conducted himself like a gentleman he would never have had to tried to make an awkward apology/statement in front of a whole studio of people laughing at him.

Having sat in the street, on the curb thinking about "what might have been..." a few times myself?

If you behavbe yourself in the beginning?

You don't have to worry later on?
