Recent Accusations of Bill Cosby’s Sexual Assaults Augur a Serious Warning for Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Presidential Run –Regarding Bill Clinton’s Relentless Past & Present Sexual Adventures!
I must admit that I know very little about Bill Cosby, the comedian. I do know that he and I shared the same talent agency in Hollywood, William Morris Agency. They clearly and rightfully did much better by him than they could do with me. He was generating significant amounts of money for his TV show in syndication. I was impressed, then.
Now, I listen and read about all the accusations made against him and wonder what type of man must he be, or have been, in order to have drugged and raped at least seventeen women. As a psychiatrist, I certainly can provide an array of diagnostic terms from misogynist, insecure, sociopathic and hostile, etc. However, what interested me about these accusations at this point in time in his 77 year old life is the fact that bad deeds do not escape the attention of the American public no matter how many years ago they had been committed. With this new age of electronic immediacy nothing evades the ubiquitous, voracious appetite of the internet and its ancillary partners –twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and many other apps.
As I read about Cosby’s travails, I immediately thought of Hillary Clinton and what troubles she may have in her impending race for the 2016 Presidential Election. Despite nascent strife within the recently defeated Democratic Party, I envisioned a far more serious issue for Hillary than the one concerning the leftward tilt of the Democratic Party. I recalled a conversation I had years ago with a prominent Democratic politician who had asked me a key question when Hillary was running against a young Obama: ”Will Bill Clinton’s continued sexual forays hurt Hillary?”
My answer was a simple, “Yes”!
Of course, Obama won and Hillary was dispensed to the not-so-shabby State Department, where she really had not accomplished very much as Sec State. This blog is not intended to bash or laud Hillary. I am writing because the issue of past sexual indiscretions, no matter how far back, always seem to arise to the surface at a point of time when one least expects it. I am clearly not a fan of Hillary’s. But at the same time, if she were to run, then let her be judged on simply her talents and not those of her husband’s.

I am really asking one question:
Is Hillary running alone or is she running wittingly or unwittingly within the penumbra of her husband’s indiscretions?
My assumption that Mrs Clinton has not come to terms with her husband’s past and present indiscretions is based on the fact that she has never really separated herself, physically, emotionally or psychologically from the iconic personae of Bill Clinton. As a politician, she tends to bask in the blinding glares of her husband’s alleged accomplishments. Yet she moves away from his desultory speeches and narcissistic pronouncements of self-adulation when it is convenient for her to do so. Hillary is, by choice, intertwined within the fibrils of a blaring sociopath, Bill Clinton, whether she likes it or not.

For me, the Delphi Oracle has arrived in the most propitious way possible—a collective cry by seventeen abused women against “America’s Father Figure”—Bill Cosby.
I am certain that Bill Cosby will pay the price for his miscreant behavior. This time, his talent agents, William Morris Endeavor, can do nothing to help him out.
However, the die is cast for Hillary. Will she disavow her husband’s debauched past? Is she able to articulate a coherent explanation for women’s rights reflecting on her own past experiences as an abused wife of an inveterate sex addict? Or, will she run like Sisyphus up the unending hill, never to arrive at her destination; while at the same time, tearing apart her Democratic Party? We will have to wait and see.
Who would have thought that Bill Cosby’s past indiscretions might have a predictive aspect for determining our American future?
I did. Soon it will be time for everyone to make up their own minds.
The difference between Hillary and Jackie Kennedy is that Jackie pretended not to know and everyone went along. But IF her husbands sexcapades had been exposed Jackie would have had no choice than to separate or divorce him to maintain her honor.
ReplyDeleteThe HUGE problem with Hillary's reaction to her husband's affairs is that she stayed with him, and this projects indifference.
It's better to be a hypocrite in these situations and fien outrage and sore feelings than to just go on as if nothing has happened when it has.....
Frankly though I don't think Bill's past affairs will damage Hillary because those devoted to her are just as single-minded and blind as Obama's supporters are about him. He got re-elected and then he lost many of his supporters, but the only thing that counts is what they're thinking at election time. It will be the same with her. If she wins it's because a majority rallies around her because of circumstances and then when she screws up they will flee and perhaps remember her dishonorable behavior about her husband as well as her support for the Iraq war and all other things they will temporarily overlook..............................................
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to say: "Poor Bill Clinton, why they are attacking him, if he were some f.g and was with some guy no one would have attacked him, why they do not leave him alone". :)
DeleteHillary is very good marriage protector.
DeleteAbout Cosby it's interesting that his rapes and assaults from decades ago are only now coming to the fore, and the same is what happened to two major comics in England who had been raping kids for decades while others ignored or facilitated it.
ReplyDeleteWhether it's that bunch in Omaha in the 1980s or the Sandusky matter or the Catholic Priests.....
Everyone at the time looks the other way and doesn't want to address these outrages until decades later because most people....like 99.9% of all people....are cowards who are indifferent to malevolence and are only really interested in their own problems. Most humans are basically scum of one kind or another. If they're not the ones actually pulling down the pants of some kid somewhere they're the ones looking the other way because doing otherwise would be too much trouble.

DeleteIn a way you are right, but you forgot that for me and for every guy, females are point where Satan can attack me easily... God is not dummy, he created Eve and apple for her to grab so that Adam can start feeling that satanic "Me" inside him self. Without that "me" we are just poor Adam while and human history can not start. Of course our culture which comes from religion will make us to behave nice. so not everyone will pull pants down. No sin no procreation.
DeleteThere is one story from 1993, when muslim Bosnian refugese where fleeing from Serbian ethnic cleansing to Croatia and were given hotel rooms to reside there for free. As they were members of eastern pagan religion and civilisation their females were very giving. It was normal to be invited to their rooms and asked to do job even while kids were sleeping on bed next to them (as it was one family per room), even they all had husbands who escaped fight and came with them, of course many refused... Some two guys who were drunk went there and there was her husband sleeping on sofa, drunk 100%, so while one was doing job other was cuddling face of drunk husband while telling him: "sleep sleep, everything is fine..." here is street view of hotel : http://tinyurl.com/lyl24sp also in Himalaya every house have statue of wooden phallus, all girls from east are trained to look guys as Gods, and girls in Thailand are praying Buddha to be good wives to their husbands...
DeleteAmerican movies where every teen girl is seen as retard if she is still virgin on day of prom, are right now destroying west but west will somehow cope with that, but surely will destroy east 100 times more, because they do not use Bible there... Muslims knows if they let their females off the hook what they will get with those movies coming from USA :))) ISIS is reaction to save what can be saved, whole east is taking trash from west just on bigger scale, USA is not smoking but now whole Asia is smoking, USA is finishing with heroine whole Burma, India have villages 100% hooked on heroine... One village in California is creating 80% of porn on whole internet. They will get it that western morality is only way... Someone was talking to me how while he was in 1987 serving compulsory military service in Zagreb for Yugoslav peoples army. They just had to go to fence and wait for gypsy girls who were passing by and going to city dump to collect trash to service them thru that fence of barracks... Of course at night after they were on dump they saw them on city main square with make up and in nice cloths ready to go to disco. It was wonderful to have one country and two civilisation, Yugoslavia was created by English circles in 1918, in 1945. English wanted Yugoslavia to split up on to Croatia and Serbia on western and eastern Russian part, but CIA said hmmm lets see, we have there one Tito who is real international and he will not listen Stalin lets keep him for whole Yugoslavia and they were right. In 1991 USA said we have here socialistic federation, that must go down, thx God. Germany was reason for that country mostly. This is street view of those barracks, it have now NATO flag :) http://tinyurl.com/pdf9rsh
DeleteWhat city is now 80% porn?
DeleteHow can I get there!

I NOMINATE GEN. DANIEL P. BOLGER TO BE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE

If Hillary gets elected, it will be because Americans want to be able to say, see, look how far we have come, we have voted in, the first woman as President of the USA.
ReplyDeleteI personally, have had enough of the Clintons. Its time they retire and fade into the sunset.
Hillary's traveling show should end. She is a known liar, from the outset, all the way to the (Bengazi) end. She is not a straight shooter, and America should spit her out like luke warm, weak coffee. Bleh !
She will do nothing great for America. Worse yet, she has drunk her own Kool-Aid.
Hilary should retire and spare America more of the same Alinsky Bullshit.
As to Cosby, who I believe was determined to be the first celebrity/actor/comedian to become a Billionaire with a "B", good luck outliving your "legacy".
ReplyDeleteLike Frank Sinatra told his daughter, "Don't knock yourself out trying to change people. People will believe whatever they want to believe."
ReplyDeleteWith that said I hope the Democrats will produce someone who will challenge and defeat Hillary. If someone like what people THOUGHT Obama was came along it would be refreshing.
Obama didn't have to turn his back on all the things he said he would do. He didn't have to decline public finance in 2008 and whore himself out to Wall Street for extra monies he didn't need.
The problem with Obama is that he doesn't believe in anything....he has no convictions whatsoever and like Woody Allen's "Zelig" mutates himself into whatever the people he's around at the moment want him to be.
He's a wounded child seeking acceptance everywhere he goes and that's his only motivation.
Frankly though Hillary will be even older than she is now, and that's too old for a matronly fat old woman to run for office.
ReplyDeleteHer husband looks like a skelaton. His voice cracks with frailty. They are both too old and sick to win anything.
She lost her chance in 2008.
I believe the main reason she would make an attempt is for the title of the office, like many politicians today, want a title that comes with an office whether it be; Mayor, Governor, or President. And number one that is not a good enough reason to hold office, and two, many of these politicians confuse a title, with accomplishment, and they are actually doing a dis-service to the office they hold if they think their personal accomplishment is the same as being an accomplished public servant, or Mayor, Governor, President, or whatever title - office they hold.
ReplyDeleteThe other problem I see is that most all these politicians hold themselves in such high regard. The economist Sowell said (not paraphrased), it takes quite a bit of knowledge to find out how ignorant one truly is.
ReplyDeleteThese politicians are often wrong, but never in doubt.
Thus Hillary's hubris filled comment "what difference does it make".
ReplyDeleteOr Pelosi's comment about Obama Care; "we have to pass it to find out what's in it". Talk about dereliction of duty. Sheesh!
ReplyDeleteNow all of them; Pelosi, Obama, Hillary, claim to have "selective amnesia" about all manner of events, foreign and domestic. What a bunch of slimey characters.
ReplyDeletePelosi doesn't remember Gruber, Obama and Hilllary don't rember Benghazi.
ReplyDeleteThe IRS doesn't remember where they put their emails.
And Holder "doesn't want to go there".
Talk about dysfunctional Government.
Can you imagine if you tried to run your own business in the same manner as these characters?
ReplyDeleteWe Need to Talk about Sandy Hook - Brand New Documentary http://vimeo.com/113182980
ReplyDeleteWith everything going on in the world why waste time claiming Sandy Hook was a conspiracy when it led to no new gun control or anything? It's just fading away and you want to harp on it while the world is on fire?
DeleteLast week went to a Q&A with Arnold at a London Hotel for one of my son's birthday, what a reception Arnie got he was very charismatic, witty and has dropped all the BS he used to indulge in. If your Constitution was changed he would become President.
ReplyDeleteYes Bill Arnie is charismatic but IMO he should stick to his daytime job of screwing his household maids. This way we are assured of his "little scwartzenschnitel's" (progeny) will continue the "Terminator" franchise.
ReplyDeleteArnie was to the citizens of California, what he was to his wife Maria Shriver, a disingenuous prick.
ReplyDeleteI must admit I thought 'screwing around' and being a 'prick' were kinda prerequisites for the job. Although he would have to go some to match the inappropriateness of either LBJ or Nixon for the POTUS position.
ReplyDeleteI remember Arnold's speech to firefighters, teachers, and nurses, how he told them they were the true "heroes" all while he tried to lower their wages and bust up their unions. Arnold is a shithead who will do and say anything including his last act as Governator when he reduced the jail sentence by 1/2 of the son of his political crony, who stabbed a San Diego student to death (sunk a knife in the kids heart). Arnold is a prick.
ReplyDeleteThank God Arnold will never get the chance, unless "Barry" passes a "new law".
ReplyDeleteMaybe he will piggyback it onto his "immigration bill".
ReplyDeleteArnold has always been a rascal..LOL
DeleteFor years he claimed he never took anabolic steroids and then that turned out to be a lie. He had to have a heart valve replaced because of the damage it did.
He claimed all during the eightees that his money was coming from genius real estate investments when he really was taking a 2% gross payment every month under the table from Wieder Publications to NOT criticize any of the phony products advertised there.....
I think given the chance he would be a strong leader, he always said the Germans needed an Austrian to lead them. Even he thinks his life story is far fetched and becoming Prez would be the cherry on the cake and using his 'one more rep' principle you know he could pull it off. After listening to Barrys Granny not being born in the US is not an obstacle.One slight downer on the evening to have a picture with Arnold was £850 which I thought was a bit steep, still I suppose he might need the dosh for his divorce or something.
