Geez, what is it about Illinois Politicians? Must be something in the water there that causes them all to be morons and empty suits.

Unfortunately, I live here, and this is not the least bit unusual. I believe this guy should not have stepped down. The Illinois dummycrats voted for him, and they should be forced to live with their choice.

Whatever happened to "what he does in his private life is his own business?" Where is Bill Clinton when you need him...or was that Clinton crying?

Hey look at it from his point - here he is with all these problems in his closet and he is STILL more qualified than oBOWma. And he cannot even get INTO office. HMMMMMMMM I wish "the one" aka "the corpse man" ha ha ha would take note and just walk away. ah well, hope springs eternal.

Looks like time for another Beer Summit. Obama, Biden, Crooked Politician (besides the other two) and a Hooker.

Oh! The quality of Chicago politicians, when it comes to the bottom of the barrel they are hard to beat. Sounds like another story for a porn movie.

Knowing his history, why would he run and put his kids through this? Also, why make the announcement from a BAR ? Bad choice on both counts.

A knife, a prostitute-girlfriend, and steroids, sounds like Chicago Politics alright. Cohen is a slimy little sleazebag for having what i guess was his son (?) in front of the camera's with him, for sympathy I'm sure..disgusting...
