Dave's Accused Extortionist is All Business

1. Absolutely that lawyer SHOULD USE THAT ARGUMENT IN COURT - it will guarantee Letterman's win courtesy of Gerald Shargel - something like handing Letterman his win on a SILVER PLATTER.

2. Lookalikes: Jo Halderman=Barney Frank.

You could also include this under, "Who'd You Rather?"

3. Basically, the case boils down to the same scenario from Altman's 'The Player'. I say let him off the hook with a public bwitch slap.

5. Aha! So THAT'S how Hollywood "works"!

1) Sneek a peek into your lover's diary, without his/her knowledge or permission

2) Write a "screenplay" about the information gained from illicit reading of diary regarding a famous personality who happens to be your lover's ex

3) Place "screenplay" into the car of famous personality without their knowledge or permission, along with $2,000,000.00 bill of sale for the screenplay

4) Go home and comfortably await your check from famous personality for $2,000,000.00

And that, kids, is how Hollywood works.

7. No, of course I'm not buying it. However, Letterman's dweeb a** has deserved a liberal dose of comeuppance for a long time. BWAH!HAHAHAHA! I recommend reading the book and/or watching the made-for-t.v. movie which showcases Letterman's uptight, narcissistic, paranoid and insecure personality: "The Late Shift". Letterman hated it so much, he in invited the writer of the book to be on his show and then as the writer sat in the greenroom waiting for his guest-appearance, Letterman "ran out of time" and "hoped" he'd come back.. he was never invited back.

8. Even if he had legitimate "intellectual property" to sell as his lawyer has said was what he was "selling" to Letterman, you still cannot bully someone with timelines to buy it, giving them ultimatums like your life will be ruined if you don't purchase it from me. That's blackmail.

9. Letterman and Halderman deserve each other. I don't have any respect for either one of them.
