Awwwww, isn’t that cute. Another round on the house.

Flanders February 8, 2010 at 12:59 pm

Who is the kid laughing hysterically in his lap?

V572625694 February 8, 2010 at 12:59 pm

How do “resign” from being a candidate.

And did he borrow that crying kid from Santorum?

EdFlinstone February 8, 2010 at 1:00 pm

Did Rick-manondog loan out one of his kids?

SnarkyMark February 8, 2010 at 1:00 pm

A truly razzie-worthy performance.

memzilla February 8, 2010 at 1:01 pm

I think his son is dating Santorum’s crying daughter.

gurukalehuru February 8, 2010 at 1:03 pm

Looks a bit like Larry Flynt, doesn’t he?

inedalo February 8, 2010 at 1:04 pm

who will replace him on the ticket? can anyone match his special qualifications for the job?

inedalo February 8, 2010 at 1:05 pm

another Q- how did they talk him into resigning? threats? promises? or….
can someone pen some speculations about this; it would make a great Mamet
dialogue for a film on politics!

One Yield Regular February 8, 2010 at 1:10 pm

Resigning from a post he doesn’t even hold is the hardest thing he’s ever done in his life? Well, I hereby resign from being the potential Prime Minister of Iceland. There! Not so hard. And see? I didn’t even shed a tear.

gurukalehuru February 8, 2010 at 1:13 pm

Damn, politics has changed. It was discovered that he was a hyper-violent, knife wielding woman beater, and yet his resignation comes as a surprise.
Perhaps OJ has one career change left in him yet.

ohiolobbyist February 8, 2010 at 1:13 pm

I woulda thought the hardest thing he’s ever done was destroying all the evidence from that time he sliced up his hooker-girlfriend while on steroids.

Papas got a brand new teabag February 8, 2010 at 1:13 pm

i love this video even more than that crying fat kid loves cake

eyegoneblack February 8, 2010 at 1:13 pm

[re=509304]One Yield Regular[/re]: But is your kid crying?

bitchincamaro February 8, 2010 at 1:16 pm

This would never have happened in South Carolina.

YesWeKant February 8, 2010 at 1:16 pm

Is the kid crying because this means his prostitute-cutting father will be spending more time with the family?

Crank Tango February 8, 2010 at 1:16 pm

why do these assholes put their kids through this shit?

Also, has anyone noticed all the fat kids in the world these days? They are everywhere. I guess I can stop worrying about wanting to bang 18 year-olds when I am 40, cuz they are all gonna be huge. Then again I turn 40 in november. Never mind.

WadISay February 8, 2010 at 1:17 pm

I pray with all my heart that I didn’t hurt the ones I love (*sob*).

JMP February 8, 2010 at 1:17 pm

Maybe they can take a page from the GOP playbook and nominate Alan Keyes to replace him on the ticket. Oh, the hilarity!

marioninnyc February 8, 2010 at 1:18 pm

I’m still waiting for them to find the prostitute girlfriend so she can clear his name. I think OJ is putting up the reward money.

Larry McAwful February 8, 2010 at 1:25 pm

I feel like such a heel for having laughed at this video. I still laughed at it really hard, though.

Larry McAwful February 8, 2010 at 1:26 pm

[re=509315]marioninnyc[/re]: At a séance yesterday, Johnny Cochran reportedly said, “If you find the whore, he runs for four!”

ManchuCandidate February 8, 2010 at 1:27 pm

“If he pooped in his diaper while cutting his hooker GF on steroids then he didn’t need to resign.”

-David Vitter R-LA

SayItWithWookies February 8, 2010 at 1:28 pm

What’s weird is that this means the Illinois lieutenant governorship has a higher moral standard than the Nevada governorship where, apparently, beating a cocktail waitress on camera in a parking garage is just fine. Mr. Cohen just needs to relocate and he’ll do fine.

ZombieRichardFeynman February 8, 2010 at 1:31 pm

That’s his kid in his lap? I thought he was just demonstrating his suitability for a switch to the GOP by multitasking with the gay hooker he picked up on the way to the bar.

V572625694 February 8, 2010 at 1:32 pm

[re=509321]Larry McAwful[/re]: It’s all right to laugh at someone else’s misfortune if you feel bad about it, just like it’s okay to stab a prostitute you thought was a massage therapist, if you feel bad about it afterward. Bitch had it coming, though!

frailamerica February 8, 2010 at 1:32 pm

Why didn’t the fat kid just lean in the other direction if he didn’t want his face on camera?

Jim89048 February 8, 2010 at 1:36 pm

Why isn’t he petting the kid, instead of patting his shoulder?

MzNicky February 8, 2010 at 1:38 pm

“I pray with all my heart that I didn’t hurt the ones I love.” He says, as his child sobs uncontrollably at his side.

President Beeblebrox February 8, 2010 at 1:38 pm

Curse the sudden but inevitable cries from the right of “HAW HAW TEH DEMONCRAP PARTY IS CORRUPT!!!1 WERE TAKIN OVER IN NOVEMBER FROM TEH MUSLIN PREZNIT!!!!1″

[re=509313]WadISay[/re]: As seen on “Six Feet Under.”

Red Zeppelin February 8, 2010 at 1:40 pm

Hey, Jim, what gives? Are you sure he is a Democrat? He seems awfully close to R territory here, both on account of the hooker problem and the horrible kid.

Gopherit February 8, 2010 at 1:40 pm

[re=509305]gurukalehuru[/re]: Seriously. When did it become commonplace for these people to think, “Fuck yeah, I’ll fit in as a politician!” Oh, wait.

Who resigns at a Bennigans?

Red Zeppelin February 8, 2010 at 1:41 pm

And you just know that kid’s crying because he went all badass on some bigger kids at school, and now is facing high school life without a bodyguard.

Flanders February 8, 2010 at 1:44 pm

[re=509326]ZombieRichardFeynman[/re]: Win.

Crank Tango February 8, 2010 at 1:45 pm

[re=509325]SayItWithWookies[/re]: it’s as if you are saying that Vegas is a place of sin or something.

also, is there a youtube of said beating? I tried to catch up on that story a while back but I never saw the video…

Snarkalicious February 8, 2010 at 1:45 pm

Well, at least he won’t be too busy to give me a value on this watch, wallet and wedding band I just picked up off the ground at Normal and 37th.

gurukalehuru February 8, 2010 at 1:47 pm

[re=509337]Red Zeppelin[/re]: More than one generation of Daley’s, Blagojevich, Burris and now this guy. Illinois Democrats are a whole nother breed of Democrat.

pat robertsons personal trainer February 8, 2010 at 1:49 pm

i hate picking on kids unless it’s a special needs palin (only kidding, snowbilly), but j/c that kid is morbidly obese.

Flanders February 8, 2010 at 1:50 pm

[re=509338]Gopherit[/re]: or a Hop Haus, for that matter.

Berkeley Bear February 8, 2010 at 1:50 pm

It was said “party leaders” convinced Cohen to quit. My guess, since his other job is being a pawn broker, the discussion involved a couple of cops and talk about whether he had all the right paperwork for all the crap in his place. At least that’s how they break the pawn brokers on my TV.

That, or he was offered first crack at Blago’s hairpiece once they throw his sweet Serbian ass in the Federal pen.

bitchincamaro February 8, 2010 at 2:01 pm

[re=509338]Gopherit[/re]: “Uh, waitress, we’ll have two diet Cokes with extra ice, one diet Dr. Pepper, no ice, and 16 microphones.”

bitchincamaro February 8, 2010 at 2:04 pm

Phatsotawnie Phil sees his shadow @ 0:16; six more weeks of winter.

Udargo February 8, 2010 at 2:17 pm

Dude, based on the evidence, I think you hurt the people you love so much.

RoscoePColtraine February 8, 2010 at 2:21 pm

Back up the tape 15 seconds earlier, and you’d have known the reason the kid was crying. Waitress just told him there is a 5 minute wait for the fresh tortilla chips refill.

Neilist February 8, 2010 at 2:22 pm

“Here is Democratic Illinois lieutenant governor nominee Scott Lee Cohen, of steroids, prosititutes, knife-cutting, knife-cutting prostitutes while on steroids, etc etc, fame, res . . . ”

Jim, you sure this guy is a Democrat? He sounds more like one of my party.

I mean, assuming that the prostitutes are cute little twinks, that is.

[Unless your "prosititutes" is a reference to some glandular condition. Caused by too much fisting or whatever.]

[Followup: Is it possible, even in theory, to have "too much fisting"? Must check with Rush L.]

teebob2000 February 8, 2010 at 2:33 pm

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Fail.

sezme February 8, 2010 at 2:33 pm

Isn’t it kind of gauche to resign while receiving a blow job? From your son?

teebob2000 February 8, 2010 at 2:38 pm

Lord know how these get chosen, but among the ‘related’ videos that youtube points you to are the timeless classics:

“Man Invents Toilet Autoflush To Avoid Touching Handle”
“Hooters Girl Makes Mojitos On Her Head”
Mel Gibson Calls Reporter A**hole WGN-TV”
“Life Unexpected Parody WIFE Unexpected funny LOL”

Buttery1000 February 8, 2010 at 2:44 pm

Another opportunity for Roland Burris

DoktorZoom February 8, 2010 at 2:56 pm

My god, after all the pain the boy’s already been through, why did Stabby McKnifer have to drag the poor Star Wars Kid on camera again?

Judas Peckerwood February 8, 2010 at 3:08 pm

I’m expecting news of his party switch any second now.

house of the blue lights February 8, 2010 at 3:27 pm

Hey, that is not just any old bar, that is Hophaus, a badly spelled sports bar with the best hamburgers in Chicago. Don’t tell anyone, it’ll get overrun with wanna pols and other unsavory types. Oh, wait…

Mr Blifil February 8, 2010 at 3:41 pm

Perhaps it’s best when resigning due to reasons of choking a bitch and knife-threatening that you send the kids to a movie while the press is in attendance.

NYNYNY February 8, 2010 at 3:59 pm

Um, I’d say his sadism is written all over. Your kid didn’t want to be there.

XOhioan February 8, 2010 at 6:14 pm

Cheer up Scott! You can buy Senate seats in Illinois, so it only stands to reason that you can pawn them, as well.

resigned February 8, 2010 at 6:48 pm

Note to self: always schedule press conferences before Long Island ice teas.

LOLqat February 8, 2010 at 7:39 pm

Why do I have the nagging feeling that this man’s life story is – in actuality – a very very shitty Philip Roth novel? All it needs is an ice-skating scene.

ladymacbeth February 8, 2010 at 7:57 pm

[re=509315]marioninnyc[/re]: they found the hooker and she didn’t have anything helpful to say.

at least for scott.

god i love IL politics.

Flanders February 8, 2010 at 8:29 pm

The blowjob is always better when the stripper….er, little kid….is crying.

villageatrois February 9, 2010 at 4:20 am

[re=509349]gurukalehuru[/re]: “‘nother breed of Illinois Democrat”. Naw. We grow ‘em in petrie dishes; blagojecacuses and rahmulites and scottcone.difficiles. Don’t even think about where our Reps come from. Way beyond the South Side of Chicago, there is a South Side of Hell.

Chickensmack February 9, 2010 at 9:39 am

[re=509307]Papas got a brand new teabag[/re]: I think I shed so many tears of joy reading this.
