BIG IDEAS

You know, I have to say I’m not particularly bothered - or surprised - by the revelations of David Letterman’s dalliances with staffers. He had a fairly open relationship with one of his writers, Merrill Markoe, years ago, so it should have been expected.

What I am surprised by, as I tend to be with all these guys who get caught in sex scandals, is what poor taste these famous guys have in women. None of these guys seem to have affairs with smart , powerful, astounding beautiful women. It’s always subordinates or sycophants. To me, that shows a fundamental need to be admired and adored, and it’s not about sex at all. One again it goes to my point about famous people. The need for fame is connected with low self-esteem, not the confidence that we assume.

I’m just sayin’.
