The Cosby kids each made about $3.2 million a year before Bill's past caught up on him.

Would that be OK?<br /><br />Legally, he's entitled to the presumption of innocence, but he's not entitled to our adulation and our money.<br /><br />He needs to steal a page from so many other celebrities whom we now can't remember whether they're dead or alive. If he were to do that, we could keep the condemnations to a minimum.

Hard not to be when your semen is on someones dress who isn't your spouse. Then again most every president is guilty of the same.
