Looking at the state of the country it seems he really is America's Dad.

I've said it before and will say it again: he'll eat his own bullet before serving a single day in prison. That kind of uber-psychotic ego will not go down on somebody else's terms.

[Dr. Medulla]

Truly, a Kodak moment.

[101Walterton]

Is he out on bail?

[Wolter]

Is he out on bail?

Last I heard, no.

[BostonBeaneater]

Is he out on bail?

Last I heard, no.

Bail denied.

[Wolter]

Is he out on bail?

Last I heard, no.

Bail denied.

He’s gonna die in prison.

[Heston]

Is he out on bail?

Last I heard, no.

Bail denied.

He’s gonna die in prison.

Is the above exchange from the 12" version of White Lines?

It was strange, somewhat sad...but very satisfying seeing that sick old creep in cuffs.

I don't necessarily agree with it, but I find Chappelle's take from his stand up special to be interesting as an alternate take that I haven't really heard otherwise:

I’ve never met Bill Cosby, so I’m not defending him. Let’s just remember that he has a valuable legacy that I can’t just throw away. I remember that he’s the first black man to ever win an Emmy in television. I also remember that he’s the first guy to make a cartoon with black characters where their lips and noses were drawn proportionately. I remember that he had a television show that got numbers equivalent to the Super Bowl every Thursday night. And I remember that he partnered up with a clinical psychologist to make sure that there was not one negative image of African Americans on his show. I’m telling you, that’s no small thing. I’ve had a television show. I wouldn’t have done that shit.

He gave tens of millions of dollars to African American institutions of higher learning, and is directly responsible for thousands of black kids going to college. Not just the ones he raped.

Here comes the kicker, you ready? Here’s the fact that I heard, but haven’t confirmed. I heard that when Martin Luther King stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and said he had a dream, he was speaking into a P.A. system that Bill Cosby paid for. So, you understand what I’m saying? The point is this: He rapes, but he saves. And he saves more than he rapes. But he probably does rape.

Is he an evil man that has done great things? Or a great man that has done evil things? Does it matter? I wonder how history will be to him.

Plenty of publicly admirable figures who were private monsters. A few decades will have to pass for that complex and contradictory understanding to be assessed/allowed, which is only fair. Whether one wants to highlight his positive contributions or his monstrous crimes, there should always be a big "but" attached.

There are parts before the quote that add a bit more nuance (?) to the opinion. This article sums it up well: https://themuse.jezebel.com/what-does-d ... 1793534061
