This is the way we do things in Illinois! Scott Lee Cohen is a businessman, a pawnbroker and owner of a cleaning products distribution company. Well, our man Scott out-spent the competition on campaign advertising and last Tuesday, the political unknown won the Democratic nomination for Illinois Lt. Governor! Sounds like an American success story, right?
Wrong!
During the past 5 days, Democrats started to look at Scott's past.
Not good.
Allegations that he abused his ex-wife and that he threatened his ex-girlfriend with a knife, raised some eyebrows. Oh, the ex-girlfriend had been arrested and charged with prostitution. Cohen also admitted past steroid use.
I don't get it! He's a natural for Illonois politics! The Democratic machine suggested that he step down. Well, he did - last night in a Chicago bar during the Super Bowl halftime. (I'm not kidding) Democrats will select a replacement.
