What a two faced, hypocrite Dave is! It couldn't have happened to a more deserving jerk! Kinda funny when he makes fun of Sarah Palin's underage daughter getting knocked up at a Yankees game, but now he's showing great strength and humility when he gets caught cheating with several NBC staffers! ROTFLMMFAO!!! The double standard is not at all shocking. However, the willing blindness of some to ignore the blatant hypocrisy is growing old.

I was applauding his coming out with the truth. I'm not following your line of thinking. How is he a hypocrite? He apologized for the Bristol Palin joke. I don't recall him ever holding himself up as a pillar of piety. He didn't blame it on his wide stance (just call me Larry) or try to have someone else take the fall (like John Edwards did). It's not a party line thing, Riffy. I just like it when someone actually comes clean.
Ginda, please don't think that I was referring to your post. In fact I had not really read your post until after I had posted mine. So if you were under the impression that I was attacking you, please know that that was not my intent. My point is that the same people that laughed heartily at Dave's insulting jab at Palin's underage daughter, Bristol, are now trying to rally their support towards him and claim that he is somehow magnanimous in admitting to these various affairs.
The fact is that he never would have admitted shit had he not been the victim of an extortion plot. The story was going to come out once he went to the police. It would have come to light because of freedom of information. He knew he was cold busted so he decided to spill his guts on the air. I just find it revolting that some people try and claim that his admission is somehow virtuous. I'm sure his wife might feel a bit differently about that.
These are the same kind of people that are trying to plead for leniency for Polanski. Wonder what these same Hollywood libs would say had Polanski been a Catholic priest, or even, perish the thought, Mel Gibson? Do you think that they would be so forgiving or supportive? Me neither. Double standards abound in that insular Hollyweird lib bubble. That's my point.
