Man, I love his comedy-- I should have gone to my big graduation just to see him. Now, I'm all depressed because these allegations seem like they have some validity. :(

I didn't give the first accuser the time of day but with subsequent women telling their story, looks like Bill is a slime ball. I am always disappointed when someone of note is found to be human.

We liked his comedy too but probably won't ever go see him again.
