The decision to prosecute him came down just days before Pennsylvania's 12-year statute of limitations for bringing charges was set to run out.

The case represents an about-face by the district attorney's office, which under a previous DA declined to charge Cosby in 2005 when Constand first told police that the comic put his hands down her pants at his home in Cheltenham.

I wonder if Cosby's real crime was denouncing the ghetto culture or if his prosecution is a drive-by product of politics:

It appears he has lived by Bill Clinton's rules. Not everyone escapes the consequences like Bill has.

What made the difference? Was it a shortage of political power? While that certainly seems to be the key element in 'BJ' Clinton's survival,

for Bill Cosby, my guess is it's more a matter of playing 'the game' too long. Sooner or later he was bound to accost the 'wrong' woman and she got tired of playing the remain-silent game.

Revenge for his politics could have played a role. Who knows for sure? Cosby provided the rope she used, in any case.

Steyn: Why Is Bill Cosby Finished While Bill Clinton Is Not? — ‘Like Racism Thing’


In filling in for talk show host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday, conservative commentator Mark Steyn drew a comparison between Bill Cosby, who has lost much of his exposure after allegations that he may have raped numerous have come to the forefront, and former President Bill Clinton, who reportedly will be campaigning for his wife, Democratic presidential Hillary Clinton.

Steyn pointed out that one has become persona non grata while the other has been universally embraced as “the most beloved guy in America.”

“I mean that as a seriously question incidentally,” Steyn said. “Why is Bill Cosby finished? He was the most beloved guy. We keep hearing Bill Clinton is the most beloved guy in America. ‘If Bill Clinton was on the ticket, he’d sweep all 50 states. It would be a landslide. Americans love Bill Clinton.’ They loved Bill Cosby – nice grandfatherly Bill Cosby. But somehow, for some reason – you don’t see ‘The Bill Cosby Show’ on TV anymore. You don’t see it on the rerun channels. He is not appearing anywhere.”

“You’d almost think it’s some kind of like racism thing,” he continued. “That somehow, when a bunch of women make accusations against the black guy – boom, he’s vaporized. When a bunch of women make accusations against some white southern redneck — where talking about putting him back in the White House for another eight years as first gentleman.”
