This is in ‘defense’ of a philanderer?

Holy bleeping mackerel! I need to catch my breath over this one.

Bill Cosby has been accused by several women of drugging them and then assaulting them sexually. The comedic icon and symbol of upstanding moral behavior hasn’t denied doing these things, at least not publicly.

Now we hear from his wife of many years, Camille, who has said that the women “consented” to the drugs and to having sex with her husband.

Someone has to help me understand this one.

This is Mrs. Cosby’s defense of her husband? Am I to understand, based on what she’s said, that Camille Cosby believes her husband had sex with other women but that it’s somehow OK because they gave their consent?

It’s like the spouse of a murderer saying, “It’s OK that my husband/wife killed that person. He just needed killin’.”

According to the New York Post, Mrs. Cosby is “well aware of his cheating, but she doesn’t believe that her husband is a rapist.”

What in the name of all that is holy am I missing here?
