Bill Cosby accused of Rape - say it ain't so

The Ultimate Party Drug

The party effects of Quaaludes aren't exactly scientifically documented, but reading between the lines of Jordan Belfort's autobiography (that's right, the Wolf of Wall Street movie is based on a real-life book), the high seems to be pretty incredible:


“All at once a warm feeling came rising up my brain stem, as a pleasant tingling sensation went ricocheting through every molecule of my body. The phone receiver was still at my ear and I wanted to tell Bo to have Rocco come pick me up at the Brookville Country Club, but I couldn’t get my lips to move. It was as if my brain was sending out signals but they were being intercepted—or scrambled. I felt paralyzed. And I felt wonderful. I stared at the shiny metal face of the pay phone and cocked my head to the side, trying to find my own reflection…How pretty the phone looked!…So shiny it was!”

Anonymous internet users also seem to have enjoyed the experience:


The first time I did my Quaaludes with my friend W at his house. We took one capsule each, which weighed betweened [sic] 400 and 500 mgs. Within 30 minutes we were feeling amazing. My friend described the feeling as Ecstacy without the trippy part. We both thought the project had been a smashing success.

A former NBC employee and friend of Cosby who acted as his so-called "fixer" for years, alleged that the comedian paid several women off after he had slept with them. Frank Scotti told the New York Daily News that he helped Cosby pay several thousands of dollars to eight women at the end of the 1980s.

"He had everybody fooled," Scotti said. "Nobody suspected."

He provided the Daily News with copies of money orders Cosby sent to the women.

I did a lot of crazy things for him," Scotti said. "He was covering himself by having my name on it. It was a coverup. I realized it later."

Also this weekend, five of the 16 women who have publicly accused Cosby of sexual assault gave detailed and explosive interviews to The Washington Post; they include a former Playboy playmate who until now has never spoken about her alleged experience with Cosby. The women told stories of several sexual assaults, often preceded by Cosby allegedly offering them drug pills.

"[Cosby] came over to me and sat down on the love seat and opened his fly and grabbed my head and pushed my head down," former playmate Victoria Valentino said. "And then he turned me over. It was like a waking nightmare."

Cosby's attorney Martin Singer reacted to these new reports with more denials.

"What evidence does [Scotti] have of Mr. Cosby’s involvement?" Singer told the Daily News. "How would Scotti know if a woman was a model or a secretary? It appears that his story is pure speculation, so that he can get his 15 minutes of fame."

Last week, (Sarah) Silverman made another rape joke. It was a joke about Bill Cosby. She tweeted, “Bill Cosby gave me one of those ‘don't be dirty’ lectures but I was unconscious & he was talking about my a-hole.”

I never understood why the Cosby show was so popular. I watched a few episodes--it was standard sitcom fare, the same situations which have been used since the days of The Honeymooners.

You could watch this show and feel good about America, even if you thought Reagan was out to destroy it, even if you thought greed was getting to be a huge problem. It was like going to church.

Of course, that sanctimony contributed mightily to Cosby's crossover appeal. Part of the reason white audiences loved Cosby so much, was that his character Cliff Huxtable's upper-middle-class trappings alleviated white guilt by suggesting that we were in a post-racial society. Because sanctimony is a privilege afforded mostly to those who have cause to feel superior — and, as a result, it is not a trait typically associated with people of color — Cosby's smugness functioned as a form of whiteness. No wonder the show ran for eight seasons and was No. 1 in the ratings for five years straight.]

Brown said Cosby and Williams, who she said was a few years older than Cosby, shared a marijuana joint as the room started spinning. 'I told them I didn't want any but I took a puff — but like Clinton, I didn't inhale, I just blew it straight back out.'

The two men went to play pool and she watched. 'I was sitting in this wicker chair, hanging from the ceiling. It felt like I was sitting way up high in the corner, that's how loopy I was — I felt like I was floating.

'I was in another world, it was more than drowsy, I knew that any second I would be out cold.'

Brown said she remembers nothing else until she woke up the following morning naked in Cosby's king-sized bed. 'I knew I had had sex. My whole body ached. There was no place that was untouched.
