Good For Dave Letterman - I Guess?

David Letterman revealed on his show last night that he'd had affairs with some of his staffers, and that someone who knew about it tried to extort $2 million from him to keep quiet about it.

David Letterman said on his show on Thursday that he had been the victim of an extortion attempt over charges of sexual affairs with staff members, claims that he conceded were true.

I'm a little conflicted on this. I mean, good for Dave for not playing along with extortion and for admitting his wrong-doing, but I don't really want to congratulate him for the behavior that got him into this mess.

Here's a link to video of him discussing it last night. I'll make it embed later:
