Sounds like quite the coup for New York Magazine, but I've been trying since last night to click through to the NY website and it's not available. So it's not getting traffic from me. I'll just have to move on and accept that the 35 women each served up quotes similar to the one that's quoted at the link (which goes to The Daily Beast):
"I think his legacy is going to be similar to OJ’s legacy,” said Joan Tarshis, one of Cosby’s accusers. “When you hear OJ Simpson’s name, you don’t think: ‘Oh, great football player.’ That doesn’t come to mind first. I’m thinking it’s not going to be: ‘Oh, great comedian.’ It’s going to be, ‘Oh, serial rapist.’ And that will be our legacy."UPDATE: "Anti-NYC hacker takes New York Magazine offline."
A self-described hacker called ThreatKing, who says he hates New York City, claims he has successfully overwhelmed the site with a distributed denial-of-service attack, overloading its servers with traffic.... But it's not an attempt to silence the 35 women who have come forth to describe their alleged assault, nor the magazine that pieced their story together, ThreatKing said. Instead, he claimed, this stems entirely from his dislike of New York City, which he extends to magazines that share its name. ...
“I went to new York 2 months ago. It was really bad,” ThreatKing said. “Someone pranked me. Everyone started laughing and shit. The first 10 hours being there. Some African-American tried to prank me with a fake hand gun.”

I clicked through the article last night and it is quite a spread.
A hacker took down the New York mag web site overnight. Apparently, it is completely unrelated to the Cosby story and primarily because the hacker does not like the city of New York.
Will they do one with Bill Clinton's accusers? They can call it Bill Part II
"Will they do one with Bill Clinton's accusers? They can call it Bill Part II"
Why would they do that when it's obvious that all those women who did not know each other or have any connections to right wing organizations clearly decided to make up stories about Clinton to serve some vast right wing conspiracy?
You know how Leftists tell you that only 0.0001% of sexual assault accusations are untrue? That fraction of a percentage accounts for the accusers of Bill Clinton. That's the one time a bunch of women decided to lie.
We need to know if any of them are good looking.
My problem is that my partner had a number of dealings with Cosby a number of years ago (among a number of other stars), and he was pretty much the only one who never did anything the least bit questionable. Ok, and Elvis, who knew he didn't need to (to this day, she thinks Elvis to have been the sexiest man she has ever met, reeking of pheromones after a concert). With Cosby, it was always the family. She used to sneak them in and out of a hotel, and as a result enjoyed a number of visits to their suite. Always the family with Cosby. And a woman or two who tagged along to meet him got no nibbles on their suggestions. Which is why my partner has such a hard time believing these accusations.

I actually misread althouse's title and subbed in Clinton for Cosby and thought "Wow, the Press really has turned on Hillary!"
If Bill Cosby drugged women either without their knowledge or against their will and then sexually assaulted them, he should be charged with rape. If, however, he invited women into his bedroom, offered them drugs and/or money, and they accepted, then he's the black Hugh Hefner. Women have often traded sex for access to men with money and influence. While it might not be the way some of us would like the world to work, they aren't being raped. Prostituted maybe, but not raped.
Well, whoooooo made yooooooouuuu the Big Roofie Sheriff of the House?
I guess Cosby just didn't donate enough to the Clinton Global Cover-up Initiative over the years. You'll never see the New Yorker do a 6-month investigation with eyes open of the many women who have accused Bill Clinton of sexual assault. Nope. Lesson to be learned there, Other Bill.
I still think of OJ as a great running back (and a murderer). The first picture of him in my mind is actually the Hertz commercials.
OJ was a great running back.
And Cosby was a great comedian.
Sometimes you can separate these things from the bad, other times you can't.
What Bill needs is for his wife to go on national TV and claim that there is a vast anti-comedian conspiracy working to denigrate her husband's accomplishments.
The VACC conspiracy will eventually include everyone in the country, as did that VRWC against Bill Clinton, but that just proves it is effective in demonizing a great man.
"What Bill needs is for his wife to go on national TV and claim that there is a vast anti-comedian conspiracy working to denigrate her husband's accomplishments."
Cosby's mistake was not being considered essential by the feminist establishment. Had he been so, we would be hearing about how all the accusers were right wing stooges.
Too bad they never interviwed all women Bill Clinton harassed, groped, molested, or raped and that his wife and associated lackeys helped cover up.
I'm shocked, fastlane women in the 70s and 80s liked sex on quaaludes or MJ, or speed or coke or even alcohol. What exactly does everyone think was going on in Hollywood, Little Rock and Club 54?
I wonder why they couldn't do that for Clinton's women. The whole thing has a racist feel to it.
I question the characterization of OJ's public image. I remember when the verdict was read--people celebrated! Leading up to and during the trial a large percentage of the public--and a large majority of certain populations--held a favorable opinion of OJ. That does not at all seem to be the case with Cosby now, although I haven't seen any official polling.
"Too bad they never interviwed all women Bill Clinton harassed, groped, molested, or raped and that his wife and associated lackeys helped cover up."
They were too busy telling us the GOP leaders also had affairs, and the whole ado was about a grown man getting a blowjob from a grown woman.
Cosby left the protective bubble when he started criticizing black people for their life style choices. Then he became fair game for criticism as happened to Herman Cain but not to Eldridge Cleaver and Huey Newton.......Perhaps some of these girls were ok with the casting couch but didn't agree to the anesthetist's table. Cosby missed his true calling. He should have been an anesthesiologist. He drugged all those women and no one ended up comatose.

Well, at least Hulk Hogan can sigh with relief that his daughter wasn't one of the 35.

For me he'll always be "Nordberg". And a murderer (Chris Rock: "But I understand")
Drebin: Hector Savage. From Detroit. Ex-boxer. His real name was Joey Chicago.
Hocken: Oh, yeah. He fought under the name of Kid Minneapolis.
Nordberg: I saw Kid Minneapolis fight once. In Cincinnati.
Drebin: No you're thinking of Kid New York. He fought out of Philly.
Hocken: He was killed in the ring in Houston. By Tex Colorado. You know, the Arizona Assassin.
Nordberg: Yeah, from Dakota. I don't remember it was North or South.
Drebin: North. South Dakota was his brother. From West Virginia.
Hocken: You sure know your boxing.
Drebin: All I know is never bet on the white guy.
Bill C. did not the have an all-star, state-of-the-art bimbo eruption team at-the-ready (metaphor alert, ha) that our former Commander-in-Heat had at his disposal.
Cosby's reputation is ruined, Clinton's not at all.
Unless the Epstein pedophile express gets some legs (so to speak).
Stephanopolis says about Cosby's victims that "these women all can't be lying." But when he was defending Clinton, it was "These women have an incentive to lie."
I think both Bills are guilty as hell, BTW, the double standard is just amusing. I bet feminists laugh about it into their pillow every night.
Well, at least Dr. Cosby is old and rich enough so that he doesn't have to give a flying fuck about his reputation anymore.
Hackers must've also gotten to and deleted the New York Magazine article in the 90s containing the stories of the women assaulted and/or raped by Bill Clinton, and I just know it had to be there because the magazine editors and such clearly care a lot about this subject.

As Hillary would say, at this point what difference does it make?
"I think both Bills are guilty as hell, BTW, the double standard is just amusing. I bet feminists laugh about it into their pillow every night."
Remember we cannot let facts get in the way of the narrative! After all if Clinton wasn't president back then all women would be forced to wear burquas by now.
So, Bruce Hayden, your partner met Cosby a handful of times and he was totally nice and didn't like, rape her, so she doesn't believe these 35 women? That's pretty gross.
Basically, to believe a man is a rapist, he'd have to have raped her? That's a pretty ridiculous standard. I hope she doesn't ever get 'proof' that someone is actually a rapist, for her sake, but it's a pretty shitty reason not to believe these victims.
No one is arguing that Bill Cosby raped every single woman he ever met. She should count herself lucky, instead of throwing shade at the women who weren't so lucky. (Unless shes's one of those awful narcissists who think that if she's not considered hot enough to rape, then no one is?)
Ginna, way to completely misread Bruce Hayden's comment.
Here's a helpful hint: "Hard to believe" does not equal "Doesn't believe".
Oh. Please. As if an article in the cheesy New York Magazine could "signal a shift in the public perception" about anything.
Does it occur to these journalists as the heretofore silent bodies multiply that the numbers may make the stories less, rather than more, believable?
This guy is a comedian, not the head of the secret police. "He raped me, but I was afraid to report it for weeks (months, years, decades)" times 35. I don't give a shit about Cosby, but this has become bizarrely implausible.
We're lucky the story isn't about Wilt Chamberlain's conquests. The media could drag it out for a century.
This is a serious matter but decking them all out in virginal white is more than a bit much. Plus a few with grey lab coats. What's with that?
I personally, and without reading the latest SJW screeds, think that the vast majority of these women approached Cosby intent on bettering their career, Read You'll Never Eat Lunch in this Town Again.
It tells the story of Hollywood. Clinton behaved the same way and for the same reasons.
Cosby gets this treatment, but Bill Clinton doesn't, and Roman Polanski is still a "misunderstood exile" in these people's minds. Scottsboro feminism at work.
Anyone who thinks Bill Cosby had to rape women is foolishly naive. Think about that for a second... at the height of Cosby's popularity, he was so desperate to get white nookie that he was raping them. If you can't see the old Nubians gotsta have dat white ass trope that this is, then you're blind.
These women smell money. pure and simple.
