NEW YORK – A TV news producer accused of blackmailing David Letterman in exchange for keeping quiet about his sexual affairs was only trying to sell the late-night comic a screenplay, a defense lawyer said Tuesday.
Robert J. “Joe” Halderman’s lawyer asked a judge to toss the attempted first-degree grand larceny case, saying the producer did nothing illegal in slipping Letterman documents alluding to the “Late Show” host’s dalliances and taking a $2 million check from Letterman’s lawyer.
“There was no extortion. There was a screenplay for sale,” the lawyer, Gerald Shargel, said outside court. “There was a commercial transaction. Nothing more.”
Jack, what’s so terrible about being someone’s groupie? That’s not necessarily derogatory. I’ve been a groupie before. Probably still am if I give it some thought. We’re having a big gathering on 12/3. Why don’t you join us?
I think Jack meant “Flatulent”
CGar- Why didn’t he just say that in the first place?
This is a good chuckle:

Yes, Herki, we are generally up to no good around 6pm 🙂 We discuss waxing men’s boy bags, sex for breakfast…It’s an eye opener!
He’s got his website- let him and his groupies snicker and carry on over there. The fact that he’s trying to post again here says quite a lot.
