Bill Cosby played a doctor on TV and mugged in Jell-O commercials like a cutesy kid, but in real life he apparently was as violent and as vile as a protected, pedophile priest.
Because Cosby is, in reality, no different from those obscure priests — a man incalculably more powerful than his victims; a man who costumed his savagery in the safe, harmless garb of an innocent.
But Cosby is not an innocent, nor is he innocent — probably not of the rapes and sexual assaults of which he is accused, and definitely not of the hoax he perpetrated upon the world. Where there’s smoke, there’s liars.
But, hey, we shouldn’t be allowed to play the innocents either. All of us mindless adoring fans dutifully played our assigned roles in Cosby’s apparent savagery, just as we have countless times with countless powerful and famous men.
We lap up the juicy gossip like a drunk does box wine. Then, because we need to in order to validate our trust, we buy the powerful guy’s powerful flak attacks on the alleged victim, believing that she — whether “she” was Paula Jones standing up to President Bill Clinton, or Mia Farrow protecting her brood — is just an angry harridan out for revenge after being rejected.
What is this, 1850?
Worse, Cosby’s newest accusers claim he raped them at the height of the women’s movement. Even so, these damaged women have been petrified to speak out for fear of reprisal for 40-odd, supposedly liberated years.
I am woman, hear me whimper.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned? No, hell hath no fury like a famous man crossed.
But it was all buried, even Cosby’s alleged assaults against a child at the vile Playboy mansion, where all manner of sexual depravity was not just accepted, but embraced.
Accuser Judy Huth says she was only 15 when Cosby drugged and raped her there. Cosby’s professional cleanup man, Matt Hiltzik then put out a story that Huth had later been in trouble with the law. Who wouldn’t be troubled after being raped at 15? Cause, meet effect.
Only sick, repulsive predators invite a child into such a place, and only the sickest and most depraved then drug and rape that child.
Dr. Huxtable would have taken her home to his family. Cosby apparently took her to Hef’s place.
This week, alleged victim P.J. Masten said Cosby (left) drugged and raped her when she was a Playboy bunny. She says she was told to shut up because Cosby was best buds with disgusting, now-half-a-corpse Hugh Hefner. And Masten did as she was told. Until now. As Cosby tries to dig out, you gotta wonder how many rich and powerful men are on the horn to Hiltzik right now.
James Brown sang, “It’s a man’s world,” but as writer Katherine Anne Porter said, “And you can have it.”

EXPRESS LINES
In response to vandals writing “Rapist” on Bill Cosby’s star, the Hollywood Walk of Fame is now officially the “Walk of Shame.” . . . The publicists for the Seth Rogen flick “The Interview” can’t buy publicity like Sony getting hacked and North Korea getting blamed because it was angry the film skewers fat, brutal Kim Jong-un. If a country with three computers can hack Sony, we better learn to say, “outstanding leader” in Korean quick.
TAYLOR IS SWIFTLY CHANGING
Don’t blame New York City for the inevitable Miley Cyrus-ing of Taylor Swift from all-American good girl to just another slutty-looking singer desperate to be accepted by the cool guys.
It began with Swift’s ridiculous claim to be a New Yorker, which was immediately lambasted, laughed at and lampooned.
So the singer, who makes Audrey Hepburn look tacky, took a gig performing at the Victoria’s Secret show in hooker wear, after she diva’d a model off the runway.
On Thursday night, Swift went to a The 1975 concert and was caught on camera apparently making out with model Karlie Kloss, which Swift’s mouthpiece bizarrely denied.
“It’s sad that on the day it’s announced Taylor has three Grammy nominations for ‘Shake It Off,’ ” he whined to the Daily News, “I have to shake off this crap.”
That makes two of us, pal.
CNN-DING FOR CROWLEY
Candy Crowley is leaving CNN of her own accord, she says. Her departure marks the official end of women on TV news being allowed to look like humans and not robot strippers in rubber cocktail dresses at 7 a.m.
ERIC GARNER’S NOT GRAND JURY
A grand jury is a prosecutor’s dream. Bored jurors who want out are easily swayed — while defendants can’t even have an attorney in the room.
The grand jury convened in the chokehold death of Eric Garner by NYPD cop Daniel Pantaleo should have been different because it was a special grand jury convened just to hear the evidence in that case.
How, then, after seeing the video of Pantaleo brutally killing Garner like a mad dog, could they have chosen to not indict?
Simple. Pantaleo didn’t need an attorney present since he had the prosecutor, D.A. Daniel Donovan, playing the part.
By restricting the charges against Pantaleo to manslaughter and criminally negligent homicide, Donovan sealed Pantaleo’s fate. And that amounted to a damned nice day in court for him, and a tragic one for justice.
BUSH LEAGUE BOZO
Looking even more confused than usual, former President George W. Bush told CNN that he hadn’t seen all the details of the Eric Garner grand jury, but “the verdict was hard to understand.”
What?
Even so, it’s not nearly as hard to understand as how he sleeps at night after starting a baseless war that has killed 6,800 uniformed Americans, possibly one million Iraqi and Afghan civilians, and 6,790 private U.S. contractors, according to Brown.edu.
Tragically, W. didn’t take up bad painting before he failed his way into deadly politics.
