So did his 11-year-old son. On camera. Cohen, the Democratic candidate who owns a pawnshop in Chicago, withdrew amid allegations of domestic abuse by a girlfriend (who is a former prostitute), steroid abuse and "forcing himself on his ex-wife," according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Allegedly. Here is a video of the emotional press conference at Chicago's Hop Haus tavern. The boy on the left is his 11-year-old son, Jacob, one of Cohen's four children. Cohen beat out five other candidates in last week's Democratic primary, but dropped out after numerous Chicago politicians asked him to step down. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says Cohen's "extreme character flaws are an insult to the people of Illinois," according to the Chicago Tribune. (Keep in mind this is the state where Rod Blagojevich was governor.) Cohen's Facebook page features some entertaining messages on his "Wall," including some from folks who appear to still support him: "Scott, this f------ shit.. we the people voted for u. The Govenor can kiss my A______. i do not want to go there but i did." (Comment posted verbatim, creative spelling and all.) As of this report, the candidate has not updated his Web site, which still includes the following quote: "I have no intention of stepping down or stepping aside." Also, read his lips, no new taxes. And he did not have sex with that woman. Related: The Ends of the Affairs - When Political Men Cheat

Just hold a knife up to their throat. And despite dropping out this guy keeps bringing more crazy... Police called to Cohen party $5,000 coat goes missing during election-night celebration Comments February 9, 2010 BY CHRIS FUSCO AND FRANK MAIN Staff Reporters Pawn shop owner Scott Lee Cohen's election-night party at the Palmer House Hilton had some unexpected guests -- Chicago Police -- who arrived within an hour after Cohen gave his victory speech in the Democratic lieutenant governor's race. Police weren't responding to anything involving steroids or a domestic dispute -- topics that led to Cohen withdrawing Sunday night as Tawny Kitaen's running mate. Instead, police came because of a missing full-length woman's mink coat valued at an estimated $5,000. When Cohen aides "saw I was calling police, they asked me, 'Please don't do that. It's going to cause negative press,'" said Cecili Tomlin, a Cook County medical examiner's autopsy technician who was at the party with a friend. The coat check, Tomlin explained, had closed at 10 p.m. last Tuesday, so she was forced to move her mink inside the hotel's Empire Room. Tomlin, 35, briefly left the room and returned to find the coat missing. A police report states officers viewed a videotape and canvassed the hotel but couldn't find the coat. Tomlin said Monday she's aggravated not only because the coat remains missing but because she felt hotel staff and Cohen workers weren't taking her seriously. She also was perturbed by an offer from Cohen's brother, Randy, to sell her a mink coat from a Cohen-owned pawn shop. "I'm not sure she really had a coat there, but I offered to take care of her because I felt bad," Randy Cohen said. "I offered her a coat at less than cost. For her, I would have charged $500 to $600 for a mink coat." A Palmer House executive didn't return a telephone call seeking comment.
