Bill Cosby Verdict

No, this is not Bill Cosby's mugshot, but close enough. This is a synthesis of those with whom he'll be sharing the television room in prison, perhaps to catch one of his re-runs as Dr. Huxtable. What I like about this expression is it's missing the smugness that we have all come to know and despise about Bill Cosby, along with his stubborn refusal to man up to his 40+ years of rape crimes.

Although he had hoped to do his crime time in his slippers and pajamas in the comfort of his mansion with its lovely gardens, he has been sentenced to 3 - 10 years in the slammer with dozens of other sex-offenders scratching their balls nearby. Perhaps he can work in the laundry, or peel potatoes in the kitchen, or really get down in the trenches and learn some humility by cleaning toilets and mopping up.

Cosby's wife, Lookaway Camille, is shading his television co-stars who correctly made the choice to distance themselves from both of them. Time you did the same Camille, although I think it's too late for you. You've demonstrated that you're as bad as he is and that you rightly deserved him for the past 54 years of your ersatz marriage.

It May Be Too Late for Camille

I named in a previous post the women who stand by their husbands regardless the cost in humiliation to themselves or their families - Dottie Sandusky defending her pedophile husband who's now in jail, Hillary Clinton defending Bill's philandering but still clocking him upside the head with a well-deserved vase and John Edward's long-suffering wife who is thankfully now dead and buried. And who can forget the loser Ted Haggard's weepy confession of his many sins?

By far the most deluded and cantankerous of all these wives, however, is Camille Olivia Cosby, who refuses to give up on her repellent husband Bill Cosby, even after he has been found guilty in a court of law to raping and assaulting dozens of women over a 50-year period. He is now awaiting his sentence at home in the luxury of his Pennsylvania mansion as she continues to lash out at not only his female accusers, but his fellow actors on television who have decided not to ruin their careers by supporting him.

Camille Cosby married Bill when she was 20 years old and was with him through his breakthrough years as a decorated black actor and comedian in a white man's world. Why wouldn't she defend him? She's been locked in as his manager and look-away wife for more than 50 years as he dallied with other women. She knew he was unfaithful, she can't be that stupid, but did she know he was a necrophiliac? Drugging and raping comatose bodies? Perhaps not. But Camille, it's time to wake up and apologize and ditch that serial rapist you're defending because you, too, will wind up a prisoner, sharing his sentence and tainted legacy until it's too late to recover any of your dignity.


 

Bill Cosby To Lose Medal of Freedom

Bill Cosby took another hit today with the news that a bill has been introduced in Congress that will strip him of his Medal of Freedom. Colleges and universities around the country have already rescinded some of the nearly 60 Honorary Degrees that have been bestowed on him throughout the past four decades. An unexpected blow for a man who, at one of his university talks, said that blacks and "the lower economic people are not holding up their end." 

Bill Cosby is at the center of a sexual assault case which he is now fighting in court. He has refused to admit to his guilt because he says he is innocent of all the charges brought against him and, to add more fuel to the inferno burning through his career, his wife has now been called in to testify at his defamation trial. In spite of the lawsuits filed and the consistent testimonies of the many women involved, Bill Cosby continues to have a large number of supporters who believe that these women are lying, that they somehow colluded with each other to humiliate and defame Bill Cosby.

Cosby, besides the degrees that have been bestowed on him, won an extraordinary amount of awards during his acting career and he's entitled to keep those, but the degrees he obtained from universities without having had to study and earn them, many think should be declared null and void. Even if he has not yet been declared guilty in a court of law, the court of public opinion reads over and out for Bill Cosby.

The comedian once declared in his fireside chats that "we have to start holding each other to a higher standard." His scorn for the young black man of America who "can't keep his pants up" is now falling on deaf ears.
