Zelda, it looks like Letterman has been sleeping with a number of employees for decades - very young women in college or recent graduates. Not only is that sleazy, it is illegal. Here in the US, it is considered sexual harassment, not a detail of one's private life as you suggest.
In the US there is currently a shortage of interview shows on the broadcast television networks. So candidates for the highest offices of the land stoop to being interviewed on midnight comedy shows such as Letterman's, where the conversation is rarely serious or intelligent.
Thus, it is particularly appalling that someone who interviews Presidential candidates has been using the casting couch for apparently 30 years.
