These allegations should certainly be taken very seriously.
But can anyone explain to me why they are currently being discussed so much more extensively and given so much more credence than the multiple rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment complaints against Bill Clinton?
In both the Cosby and Clinton cases, the men have a long history of multiple complaints, both men have legally settled at least one complaint, for both there has been a longstanding public record of at least some of the complaints.
Why are we so much more likely to believe Bill Cosby's accusers than we are to believe Bill Clinton's?
I use to tell myself that we might be justifiably convinced that there was a conspiracy of political treachery against Bill Clinton and that this explained his being repeatedly accused of sexual wrongdoing. But it might be noted that there's been a similarly treacherous political conspiracy against Barack Obama and he hasn't to my knowledge ever been accused of sexual wrongdoing (the closest, to my knowledge, have been reports - dismissed by almost everyone - that he's secretly gay).
