    Buress must have signed on as Bill Cosby's social media manager. That's the only explanation for this:

    Good lord, some of those were brutal. But well-deserved if the allegations are true.

    A one-time aspiring actress named Barbara Bowman writes about her experiences with (and allegations against) Cosby, and how they went nowhere despite so many people being fully aware of the situation.

    Article notes that Cosby has new shows coming on NBC and Netflix. I can't believe those are actually going to happen now.

    Really is amazing that it took so long for these allegations to become a widely known thing. Why did the tabloids not go apeshit like they normally do when that lawsuit was filed a decade ago?

    Cosby's response is that he "won't dignify" the allegations with a comment.

    Sorry, Coz, but I doubt that's gonna cut it when the allegations are coming from THIRTEEN different women, at least one of whom you've previously paid off with a confidential settlement buying her silence.

    Bad Cosby news finally hitting the air waves on DC news radio (WTOP) today. I don't see this going away. MSM is going to deservedly start piling on.

    None of this latest stuff has even touched on the case of Autumn Jackson, the daughter of his mistress. He always refused to acknowledge being her father. Drove her batty to the point she tried to extort him, then he turned her in and she went to prison.

    This has happened as he is on a promotional tour not just for the NBC and Netflix deals but for the authorized biography, in which he admits to messing around on his wife but says he gave it up out of respect for her.

    Really an awful, awful guy.

    From the NPR file:

    Cosby and his wife Camille, in an interview recorded last week with NPR, declined to discuss the accusations. Here's a partial transcript of the interview with Weekend Edition Saturday host Scott Simon:

    SCOTT SIMON: "This question gives me no pleasure, Mr. Cosby, but there have been serious allegations raised about you in recent days."

    BILL COSBY: [SILENCE]

    SIMON: "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: [SILENCE]

    SIMON: "Shaking your head no. There are people who love you who might like to hear from you about this. I want to give you the chance."

    COSBY: [SILENCE]

    SIMON: "Alright. Camille and Bill Cosby. They have lent 62 pieces from their collection of African and African-American art to create an exhibit called Conversations: African and African American Artworks in Dialogue. It's now on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art through early 2016. Thank you both."
