It's the long-forgotten story of Bill Cosby's daughter Erinn, circa 1989, when she accused famed boxer Mike Tyson of sexual assault.

Tyson is welcomed with open arms by the entertainment industry while Cosby is shunned and scorned.

“The Washington Piss “... all over us LOL! Great!

I remember when “antidisestablishmentarianism” was an obscure word- now it is the focus of all media.

Not a fan of either one, but...

Maybe they’re treated differently because, for many years, Cosby was put on a pedestal as the nice guy, the good husband, “America’s Dad.”

Whereas Tyson was just a boxer.

I remember when “antidisestablishmentarianism” was an obscure word- now it is the focus of all media.

If you consider the left wing the establishment. Those of us who consider the Constitution and traditional religion to be the establishment are the “antidisestablishmentarianists.”

To the conservative position, "disestablishmentarianism” is the radical ideology.

I remember that when Tyson was on trial for raping a groupie who went to his hotel room at 1:00 in the morning, one of the Kennedy nephews was also on trial for raping a woman whom he had taken to the Chappaquiddick compount to "meet his uncle Ted and see the place." Then during a "walk on the beach", he threw her down onto the sand and raped her.

The Kennedy nephew was found not guilty, but Tyson was found guilty. That really ticked me off at the time as being a double standard of justice.

Oh, that’s right... I forgot all about that Kennedy case. Both the Tyson and Kennedy cases were he said-she said, too.

One factor that might’ve weighed against Tyson was that his alleged victim was only 18 years old.
