“Rush Limbaugh devoted a portion of his Friday show dismissing the rape allegations against comedian and television personality Bill Cosby, stating the media is going after Cosby because he has admonished black families and communities to “step up” in the past, with Limbaugh saying of the rape allegations, “It’s not like he did it yesterday.”
Accusations that Cosby sexually assaulted women have been made by multiple women since 2004, but the story caught fire in recent days when actress Barbara Bowman came forward and wrote an op-ed piece published in The Washington Post,stating she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Cosby when she was in her late teens and early 20′s.” *

You have to ask the question, why are the women coming forward NOW? Just out of the blue? Nothing better to do? Did it just now set in? There should be a law to limit the time between the so called actions and when you can file charges.
Randy Quaid situation?
We don’t know, but innocent until proven guilty, right?
