Maybe the “Cosby-is-Rapist” thing could have worked if Cosby were unknown. But…

He’s been famous for 5 decades. Beloved by US elites. The star of a hit NBC prime-time show. Oprah [probably] suggested he should run for President. Hung out with rappers and billionaires. The Clintons [probably would have gone to] his wedding [if he was younger].

And – just 3 years ago! - he was considered to be the most important black man in America and nobody except MSNBC viewers remembers the basement filled with chains, his gang of henchmen or other serial rapist behavior.

And it’s been all tried before, including this same Woody Allen crap. Has the stench of desperation.
