This morning, Bill Cosby ventured out into the media world to repair his image. Officially, he’s promoting a program that calls for better education in rural Alabama. He’s speaking with teenagers today at Selma High School, where he’s participating in a march over historic Edmund Pettus Bridge. Cosby’s looking to improve his reputation by any means possible. That won’t change the fact that over 40 women have made sexual assault allegations against the comedian. As always, I refer to Vulture’s comprehensive running timeline of events surrounding Cosby.

Cosby sat down with Linsey Davis on this morning’s episode of GMA, and the interview was a muddled disaster. His wife, Camille, was by his side and supportive as always. Cosby previously tried to strongarm an AP journalist into deleting questions about the allegations. He knew he couldn’t get away with that here. Linsey asked, “If a young person comes up to you and says my mom says you’ve done some bad things, how will you answer them?” Cosby kind of muttered around the question and tried to sound “inspirational”:

How would he answer the young person? “I am prepared to tell this young person the truth about life. I’m not sure that they will come like that. I think many of them say, ‘Well, you’re a hypocrite. You say one thing, you say the other. My point is, okay listen to me carefully. I’m telling you where the road is out. I’m telling you where you’re driving you’re going to go into water and it looks like it might only be three inches deep, but you and your car are going to go down. You want to go here or you want to be concerned about who’s giving the message?”

Bill can’t believe this crap: “I have been in this business over 52 years and I have never seen anything like this. Reality is the situation. And I can’t speak.”

His ideas for the future: “I have a ton of ideas to put on television about people and their love for each other.”

You can see a video clip of the interview here. Cosby tried to deflect Linsey’s hard-hitting question, and his ramblings made absolutely no sense. He’s clearly uncomfortable but trying to lecture his way out of the sitation. Not gonna work. I’m not surprised that he’s still indignant for being called out by many of his alleged victims. His pattern of drugging women reveals a sense of entitlement. Cosby never cared whether or not he had consent. He simply felt that he could do whatever he wanted. One small bit of victory arrived with NBC’s January axing of Cosby’s planned family sitcom. But he’s still touring, and people still buy tickets to watch him tell “family” jokes.

Here are photos of protestors outside Cosby’s “Far From Finished” tour in Atlanta on 5/2.
