Hey, Hey, Hey
Bill Cosby is wearing an ankle monitor and walking around his Pennsylvania mansion, howling at the moon.
You know that he feels wronged.
Yet, a whole lot of people were celebrating that he was found guilty of sexually assaulting that woman because he had actually been accused of doing it to a total of 59 women.
Or were they?
I was shocked to read some of the comments attached to a recap of the guilty verdict.
“He got railroaded!” One woman wrote. “Those women were whores! They didn’t report it then, but now they’re so traumatized!”
(There were more than just a few people who echoed that sentiment).
It’s hard to convict a celebrity, and Bill Cosby was a huge presence for a lot of years.
He preached a little.
He was America’s Dad as Cliff Huxtable.
Each week he used comedy to lecture about living right, loving your fellow man, and teaching your children about compassion.
Last week, he was found guilty of doing the exact opposite.
Pretty wild.
And I listened to him melt down at the prosecutor...
...calling the man an ‘asshole’.
I couldn’t reconcile the two Cosby’s.
They say that you should always try to steer clear of meeting your idols.
There were millions out there who loved Cosby.
Some of those people are willing to defend him even though all the evidence is stacked against him.
Yet, I kept going back to the idea of Cosby and his wife...
...they’re 80 years old.
He’s facing prison time.
They have to be bitter and mean.
Hey, Hey, Hey.
What a disaster.
You get what you get.
