Althouse: He persisted.

June 9, 2017

He persisted.

"I don’t hear her say anything. And I don’t feel her say anything. And so I continue, and I go into the area that is somewhere between permission and rejection."

From Bill Cosby's 2004 deposition, read to the jury yesterday.

You can't put sexual gratification in the bank, or buy a car.

If I was an old groupie, I'd hire a lawyer too.

Can we keep this out of mainstream media please? I, for one, don't want to know anything about Cosby the man, let alone Cosby the penis.; 6/9/17, 10:09 AM
Snark said...: I'm going to ask the question on America's mind today: Is Bill Cosby attracted to John McCain, and was he anywhere near DC yesterday?; 6/9/17, 10:29 AM
traditionalguy said...: IIR Cosby is addicted to Necrophilia. To get off, he first has to make the women into zombies so he can have courage to screw the dead body. Works every time.; 6/9/17, 10:36 AM
Left Bank of the Charles said...: "There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone."; 6/9/17, 10:47 AM
Eric the Fruit Bat said...: I'd become distant, introverted and solitary, too, after getting an orgasm from someone who plays for the other team.; 6/9/17, 11:07 AM
William said...: He had a thing for comatose women. This still puts him ahead of the Newsweek editor who's into Japanese tentacle pon. I always wondered who was into tentacle porn. Newsweek editors. It all makes sense now.; 6/9/17, 11:18 AM

Oh, so he thought it was like marriage.

The Godfather said...: I'm not quite as old as Cosby, but I grew up in a world in which a guy thought it was fair to proceed until he got a definite "no" from the girl. The "no" was usually regarded (by guys certainly, but also by a lot of girls) as the beginning of the negotiation.

However, (a) I grew out of that attitude and Cosby should have, and (b) the only chemical aids to seduction in my day were alcohol and pot. Both really served more as excuses than anything else (Oh I never intended to have sex with him, but I got so-o-o high!). We only dreamed of aphrodesiacs that really worked.; 6/9/17, 4:34 PM
Earnest Prole said...: Not a whole lot of enthusiasm here for defending the innocence of Bill Cosby. Perhaps your commenters are exhausted from defending Greg Gianforte.; 6/9/17, 7:32 PM
jeff said...: Would you call your comment nonsensical or a non sequitur? Or both? Or does it only rise up to a level of stupidity trying to be clever and doesnt make it over the bar to nonsensical/non sequitur? Tough call.; 6/9/17, 10:06 PM
Earnest Prole said...: You had to be there.; 6/9/17, 11:05 PM
Bad Lieutenant said...: Jeff, if this is how Earnest Prole wants to burn down his reputation on this blog, it's his choice. I think I saw Chuck posting under his own name a day or two ago so maybe EP is hedging on the new identity.; 6/10/17, 8:46 PM
