Things aren't looking too good for Bill Cosby. The comedian stayed completely silent when he was asked repeatedly about the rape allegations he's being faced with during an interview with NPR on Saturday, Nov. 15.
NPR host Scott Simon asked the Cosby Show star, 77, about the shocking claims that have resurfaced recently while interviewing Cosby and his wife Camille about an exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art.
"This question gives me no pleasure, Mr. Cosby, but there have been serious allegations raised about you in recent days," Simon asked the legendary actor. "You're shaking your head no. I'm in the news business. I have to ask the question. Do you have any response to those charges?"
Cosby continued to his shake his head and stayed quiet about the subject.

***No,not necessarily because they’re nice guys...more because when you’re rich and/or famous women...including attractive,”classy”,women...literally *throw* themselves at you.Why rape when you can take your pick of 50% of the women that you encounter.***
I knew what you were saying and it is why I asked you that question.
You obviously think that rapists rape and assault to get chicks and that if they were attractive to them that they wouldn’t rape and assault females.
You think that rape is decided on how available girls are to a man.
You are one strange and creepy guy.
Yep, With Hillary waiting in the wings for the White House it is timely to bring up her political “marriage” to this thug:
Bill Clinton’s record of brutality against women, Misogyny
Juanita Broaddrick (AR)- rape
Eileen Wellstone (Oxford) - rape
Elizabeth Ward Gracen - rape - quid pro quo, post incident intimidation
Regina Hopper Blakely - “forced himself on her, biting, bruising her”
Kathleen Willey (WH) - sexual assault, intimidations, threats
Sandra Allen James (DC) - sexual assault
22 Year Old 1972 (Yale) - sexual assault
Kathy Bradshaw (AK) - sexual assault
Cristy Zercher - unwelcomed sexual advance, intimidations
Paula Jones (AR) - unwelcomed sexual advance, exposure, bordering on sexual assault

Gennifer Flowers - quid pro quo, post incident character assault
Dolly Kyle Browning - post incident character assault
Sally Perdue - post incident threats
Betty Dalton - rebuffed his advances while married to one of his supporters
I would agree. Try it in a court, not the press. He’s already guilty in the press just by having a penis.
Hey,thanks for sharing!
Isn’t it amazing how the Bushes’ “adopted son” is such a hit with the masses with that record?
What about Roman Polanski?
He is guilty and all of Hollywood knows
Ping
I'm not saying that rich,famous guys *never* do it I'm just saying that they're much,*much* less likely to do it.Roman Polanski has proven himself in every conceivable way to be a worthless piece of excrement.As has BillyBob (just to cite two examples).Cosby,OTOH,has...it seems to me...always seemed to be a decent,respectable guy.
"Rich plus respectable" is why I'm inclined not to believe these accusations."Rich plus sleazy" is why I can easily believe accusations against Polanski and BillyBob (among others).
I have never seen this argument, you are giving a pro rapist argument that it is a rational way to get sex when it is too much trouble or too difficult to seduce a woman.
Maybe Mr. Cosby was just playing doctor.
What about the sick reasoning that creates that argument of rational choices guiding the rapist.
Very few rapists do it because they would like to have sex. They get off on the violence or the power trip. THEY ARE DIFFERENT FROM ORDINARY MEN.
Probably from you. If you were single (or married) and famous and could get a lot of great women interested in you, would you find having sex with a drugged, basically unconscious woman be a great turn on? Would holding a knife at a woman’s throat, and seeing her beg for freedom, allow you to have a full round of intercourse with her as she struggles?
Rapists are sick. Not just horny guys.
Headlining on Drudge now.
He is not the type and why now? I do not believe it. What a terrible thing to do to someone.
It is about the money. No one in their right mind would want it to go public.
Sufficient political usefulness can offset the penis deficit...at least, until the subject is no longer useful.
And gets assaulted not once, but TWICE, in another location.
Same goes for Michael Jackson.
Are these parents out of their minds?
Pfffttt! I'll wager that I know more about rape...in practical,real world,terms...than you.Why do I believe that? Because I worked for 20 years in the ER of a major hospital located in a big city hospital...a hospital that was in the forefront of "rape crisis services" now routinely found in hospital ERs nationwide.As the nurses in our ER,several of whom have spoken nationwide to health care professionals on the subject,will tell you a good percentage...a *substantial* percentage...of rape claims are legitimate but not *all* of them are.I could cite specific examples of such incidents that I,*personally*,witnessed (overheard) but that would take far too long.
I'll just leave you with two questions: 1) were the Duke LaCrosse players guilty of raping that hooker? 2) Can you think of *any* reason...in addition to serious mental illness...why a young woman might falsely accuse a *billionaire* of rape?
