Steve Phillips commits a reprise
Of bedding down his employees;
Hits Hundley then walks,
So she in turn stalks
And puts his past balls in a squeeze.

So once again it's either your ratings or your importance to the network that matters.
Phillips is fired, but David Letterman not only keeps his job but plays it for laughs.
I guess Phillips should have been working for CBS.
