This will be interesting to watch play out.

Bill 'Rufie' Cosby should be shunned the rest of his miserable life.

Sad. What the hell happened?

This is looking bad, bad, bad for Cosby.

I don't know, Bob... He has enough money to buy his way out of it with lawyers the same way OJ did.

Guess we will just have to get the popcorn ready and sit back and watch what happens.

It'll be a lot harder simply because of the sheer number of women whom Cosby is alleged to have raped.

Oh c'mon...if we had any really committed teabaggers on this forum we would have seen the 'Cosby is under indictment, Clinton got away with it' outrage by now. Where's whelly when you need him?

Of course OJ and Cosby have similar financial resources, but lots of guys with money get caught and go away for rape. Johnnie Cochran knew right away that OJ was going to skate when he expressed his pleasure to the rest of the legal team that their would be no change of venue and that they "got a downtown jury." There was a lot of stuff at play in the OJ case, it was a murder case, and the victim was the accused's wife.

And...this is a touchy subject...there was the considerable hostility from black women in America toward white women who were grabbing off so many black men who had "made it" financially. For some reason that hostility never seemed directed at the black men as it was at the white women.

When did this become about race?

This isn't about the white women dating black men. In fact.... It's not about dating at all.

This is about rape and sexual assault.

I don't know what ethnic background all of his alleged victims are ..... But I suspect they were chosen for their vulnerability rather than their race.

Well for one thing, Clinton didn't have to use roofies to get laid. The chicks threw themselves at him.

And I suspect that's what pissed the right wingers off so much.
