Letterman and Power

David Letterman, left wing late night comic, was forced to reveal that he had been shagging the staff for many years due to an extortion plot.

The left wants to give Letterman a pass because it was consentual. (Consent doesn't actually matter, because the same left wing as wants to give Roman Polanski a pass).

In reality, it is an abuse of power. He's created an environmental in which females have to sleep with him to get ahead. One of his girlfriends/staff, Stephanie Birkitt, was frequently on the show as part of sketches. Would she have been there had she not been sleeping with her boss. Can anyone in corporate America imagine the results of a boss constantly promoting female staff that he was schtuping?

So where is the feminist movement on this abuse of paternal power?
