Yep, this may get far uglier and taint all of his corner of the industry.

That’s what this was always about, wasn’t it - at least for you and your other friends in Hollywood?

Don’t answer. I really don’t want to talk to you. It’s not fun talking to people who aren’t evidence-based. And the same people who aren’t evidence-based on other issues are carrying on in the same fashion on this issue. I should have known when I saw who was posting that I should just stay away because I wouldn’t be able to stomach it.

I’ll just let the trolls talk to each other. Sorry to interrupt. I’ll go back to what I was doing and you can go back to what you were doing - gossipping.

Yeah, his knockout drugs seem to act quite a bit different than what the government lists for the characteristics of date-rape drugs. Almost as if these women don’t actually know what date-rape drugs really do...

Pharmacokinetics[edit]

While 80% of flunitrazepam that is taken orally is absorbed, bioavailability in suppository form is closer to 50%.[11]

Flunitrazepam has a long half-life of 18–26 hours, which means that flunitrazepam’s effects after nighttime administration persist throughout the next day.[12] Residual “hangover” effects after nighttime administration of flunitrazepam, such as sleepiness and impaired psychomotor and cognitive functions, may persist into the next day. This may impair the ability of users to drive safely, and increase risks of falls and hip fractures.[13]

Flunitrazepam is lipophilic and is metabolised hepatically via oxidative pathways. The enzyme CYP3A4 is the main enzyme in its phase 1 metabolism in human liver microsomes.[14]

You want to pretend that young actors don’t seek work with an industry giant on his TV shows?

“he didn’t have a TV show between 1973 and 1984. The alleged incident was in 1982”

See post 23, it corrected your lack of facts, and tendency to make things up to fit your narratives and conspiracy theories.

That is the name for Rohypnol, which is in the government fact sheet that I linked to. However, for some reason that page comes up as unavailable right now. But I had no trouble saving it at archive.org so apparently it is available after all. It is saved at https://web.archive.org/web/20141219013933/http://womenshealth.gov/publications/our-publications/fact-sheet/date-rape-drugs.html?from=AtoZ

Here is the description that the government gives for Rohypnol (notice that the effects can last for several hours. Not 2 days. From what I’ve read if a person was out for 2 days it’s probably a severe overdose - in which case the gal is lucky to even be alive. And if she was passed out for 2 days and nobody in her life noticed and she didn’t go to the doctor immediately afterwards to find out what had just happened, then somebody is crazy. Anyway, here’s what the government publication says:

Rohypnol
The effects of Rohypnol can be felt within 30 minutes of being drugged and can last for several hours. If you are drugged, you might look and act like someone who is drunk. You might have trouble standing. Your speech might be slurred. Or you might pass out. Rohypnol can cause these problems:

Muscle relaxation or loss of muscle control
Difficulty with motor movements
Drunk feeling
Problems talking
Nausea
Can’t remember what happened while drugged
Loss of consciousness (black out)
Confusion
Problems seeing
Dizziness
Sleepiness
Lower blood pressure
Stomach problems
Death

And isn’t it convenient that the media just happen to be spending so much time on this sensational story. They can just ignore all of the unconstitutional and criminal actions of the Soros Administration.

I wasn’t aware of the Fat Albert show so I stand corrected.

You honestly think Janice Dickinson was going to have her career jump-started after her hospitalization by being on a Saturday morning educational cartoon?

The other problematic points, as well as other points in her story, still stand. Another one I didn’t mention here was how Dickinson ended up in pajamas and Cosby in bathrobe before she was drugged. Did Dickinson take her pajamas along with her to the supper date? And she changed into them at the hotel without thinking twice, even while Cosby changed into his robe?

Any woman who can come up with a photo of herself (or family) with Cosby has an opening for her 15 minutes of fame, and the powers-that-be that want us preoccupied with it will be happy to reward her in seen and unseen ways.

And the same people on Free Republic who have considered the rule of law a “distraction” regarding Obama’s usurpation of our White House will work hard to keep each new story - unsubstantiated as it may be, and even when the claims don’t make sense - in the public’s face. Day after day after day. None of it prosecutable, none of it provable, none of it with credible evidence.

I need to get back on track and just ignore the trolls; maybe then they’ll go away. God knows I’ve got other things I should be doing instead.

Lol, that is an understatement """1. that Cosby invited her to discuss appearing on his show - but he didn’t have a TV show between 1973 and 1984. The alleged incident was in 1982"".

See post 23.

Howard Stern played an interview with Dickinson from years ago where she didn’t get into the details she did recently, and didn’t say she was harmed by him, but said at that time that Bill Cosby was a bad man who preyed on women who had just gotten out of rehab. So she’s on record with a version of her story years before this explosion happened. That makes her accusations more credible. I’d bet it’s extremely hard to remember details accurately from 30 years ago but that’s a far cry from inventing the whole incident.

“What date-rape drug would knock a person out for 2 days?”

Demerol?

You are unfortunately falsely accusing anyone who disagrees with you of having bad motives and motives putting them in league with the very people they actually oppose. You also seem to disregard the First Amendment rights of free speech possessed by the women who are accusing Bill Cosby of rape. Do you want us to understand that you oppose their right of free speech.

Also let me remind you of something I’ve mentioned many times before in the other threads regarding the Bill Cosby rape allegations. In the Seventies I generally respected Bill Cosby for his comedy and his role on I Spy, until my concern was aroused by some of the cocktail waitresses with whom I worked. They also went to work at the Playboy Mansion. Afterwards, some of us were talking about Bill Cosby’s comedy when these gals made some upset faces and made some very disapproving remarks about our interest in Bill Cosby’s comedy. They refused to come out and give any specifics why they disliked Bill Cosby, but they did make it clear the one part of working at the Playboy Mansion was their dislike in being around Bill Cosby when he was hanging around there. In other words, thy made it very clear there was something exceptional and wrong enough to make them particularly uncomfortable in a way different from anyone else at the Playboy Mansion.

Now that was some 35 years ago, and here we are with women and men making the same comments about Bill Cosby putting on a Dr. Jekyll persona performance in public and a Mr. Hyde persona and performance in private. This incudes the trades people over the years who have complained about Bill Cosby treating them and his family with cruelty.

All of this goes far far beyond politics.
