| Cosby's wife seeks to avoid further questions in defamation suit Posted: 12 Apr 2016 04:59 AM PDT  By Scott Malone BOSTON (Reuters) - Lawyers for Bill Cosby's wife and business manager Camille Cosby will ask a judge on Tuesday to spare her from answering further questions related to a lawsuit by seven women who claim the comedian sexually assaulted them. Camille Cosby's lawyers have accused the attorneys for the seven women of acting improperly during a February 22 deposition about the lawsuit, one of a series of actions by women who have accused Bill Cosby of sex abuse, toppling him from his position as one of the United States' best-loved entertainers. "Plaintiffs' counsel, Joseph Cammarata, asked Mrs. Cosby a litany of improper and offensive questions, including questions regarding her own sexual relations, her own political commentary, and the death of the Cosby's son in 1997," they said in papers filed in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts.

| Paul Ryan is running for something. But what? Posted: 11 Apr 2016 07:28 PM PDT  It looks like Paul Ryan is running for the post of Mr. Republican. Whether he hopes that involves winning the party's presidential nomination – and when – is less clear. The hallway talk we're referring to is the result of a lengthy piece in Sunday's New York Times that dubs Speaker Ryan the GOP's "mirage candidate." It doesn't directly say that the Wisconsin member of Congress is positioning himself as a shiny savior for a deadlocked 2016 Republican National Convention.
