"COS' & EFFECT"

 12/3/14 The News-Dispatch & The Herald-Argus

In recent weeks, allegation after allegation of rape over the past decades has surfaced against bill Cosby, comedic icon and purveyor of Jell-O Pudding Pops. So far well over a dozen women, including supermodel Janice Dickinson and Carla Ferrigno, wife of actor Lou Ferrigno, have accused him of drugging and raping or attemptedly raping them.
They say where there's smoke, there's fire, and I'd say there's plenty of smoke here. Unfortunately, the statute of limitations has run out on virtually all of these cases, so the 'Cos may never actually be taken to trial. What I think is truly tragic here is that Bill Cosby has been a kind of symbol of fatherhood and the "family man" in America's consciousness, largely because of his role as Cliff Huxtable on The Cosby Show. Ya mean TV isn't real???
