    hearsay (n): information received from other people that one cannot adequately substantiate; rumor.

    Hearsay, "You know a lot of women claim they were raped by Bill Cosby."
    Not hearsay, "I was raped by Bill Cosby."

    That doesn't mean it can't be bullshit and a lie though.

    You'll think I'm taking a dig at you with this, but trust me I'm not. A perfect example of hearsay was Jerry Sandusky. It was rumored for years in Pennsylvania that Jerry liked 'em young, but obviously nothing could be substantiated because no one had come forward. That was some serious hearsay, until the roof was blown off in 2011.

    Shottie, you need to stop right now. You are making a fool of yourself.

    Long, long Washington Post story. A few more names -- I've lost track of the running total -- and a few named sources who say the women told them about the incidents at the time, but that Cosby's power stopped them from going forward. Tamara Green, the lawyer, says Cosby had befriended her dying brother and often visited him in the hospital, and she feared taking that away.

    It's simply not credible to be on Cosby's side of this.

    "Cosby was a childhood friend of Adderley in Philadelphia."

    I wonder what tales Cosby's wife could tell.

    It's astounding how you can jerk off to anything you read on the Internet.

    Tremendous, if difficult, read.

    And even if you don't believe Cosby is a serial rapist, he's at the very least a serial womanizer and adulterer, which trashes his image on its own.

    Vombatus could jerk off to the phone book.
