Emotional IL Lt. Gov Nominee Scott Lee Cohen Drops Out of Race

[Chibithy]

I wonder how much they payed the obese kid.

[andres91881]

This is such a rehearsed cry-a-thon by the dad and his son. Look at how his son looks up at the 12 second mark and looks at his mom to see if he is doing a good job of acting, just like the Falcon balloon boy on TV when he tried to lie on Good Morning America by looking at his parents in an awkward way.

[nessfill]

this is unbeleivable! That fat ass punk of a kid needs a boot in his ass. If he's dumb enough to believe his lying example of a "dad", at a BAR no-less, give him a dry martini and tell him it's a shirley temple. After a few of those, he just might believe his old man was an alright guy, and didn't mess around with holding knives to womens throats for a piece of ass! Way to go "dad!" You're as phony as a 3 dollar bill-

[nessfill]

setting a fine example for a bullshit announcement at a BAR. Buy the fat crybaby a dry martini and tell him it's a shirley temple you lowlife "dad".

[yesnyrs]

q bueno para q se t kite lo caliente

[ravenal2006]

fat kid crying because someone ate the cookies

[EyeballNinja]

Any man that raises a boy to be such a frickin sissy needs to learn to run his house before trying to run our state. My dad would have just looked at me. Once. Oh yeah, and Dad... Thanks.

[Jhensy2001]

Another Democrat. Wake up, people!

[Andrew32488]

@Jhensy2001

Republicans have way more acts of inappropriate behavior. The democrats may not be perfect, but the true ones at least stand on the principle of bettering 99% of the country; not the one percent richest.

[fadedyouthblogtube]

That fat kid is hilarious. I wanna punch him in the stomach!

[crumbtrey]

Doesn't matter if you vote. All you do is change one weasel for another.

[KillinDaWelfareMCs]

Is the fat kid crying because someone ate all the chicken wings?

[SexyWifey135]

It looks like the kid was told to pretend to cry. So phony!

[risqueclay]

Who's the fat kid?

[UncleBernie2]

*Legally elected NOMINEE

[UncleBernie2]

Say what you want about Scott Lee Cohen but he was legally elected Lt. Governor by 'The People' of the State of Illinois. Even if 3 people voted and he only received 2 votes, HE WON!!!

For him to be pressured to drop out by so-called "ELECTED OFFICIALS" and for Scott to actually drop out is EXTREMELY APPALLING!

What happened here flies in the face of our democratic system! Because of this, I will NEVER vote during a primary election again. I HATE ILLINOIS WITH A PASSION! God bless you, Scott!

[CoeCoe151]

I somewhat agree. He is an idiot, but the people elected him to be in the primary. Why should people remove that. I don't think it matters if he gets a few votes in the primary but he deserved the spot. It's Illinois fault for voting him into the primaries, he should keep his spot as a primary even if he only gets a few votes.

[bokiluis]

I am really worried for this man's spouse. If he is guilty of abusing his wife, he could take this out on her. I hope someone is keeping close tabs on their relationship.

[CoeCoe151]

the case was dropped

[rollbiz]

I thought that the Carly Fiorino "Devil Sheep" political ad would be my favorite thing ever for a long time, and yet just a week later Scott Lee Cohen outdoes it.

[JHJennings]

Illinois had something like 20% participation in this Primary. Most people didn't VOTE! 70-80% of the people didn't care. NOW they care? Karl Marx predicted this. Illinois gets what it deserves and right now it's CROOKS and CONS in control. What do you expect? -- NOW the Illinois "politburo" will CHOOSE a candidate. Why not just ELECT Vladimir PUTIN to run your state? Same thing! You don't want to vote anyway!

[chardonnay1]

what a drama queen.

[xtlhogciao]

More wasted money courtesy of the DNC. I listen to 93.1 XRT every day at work, and I swear I've heard his campaign ad about him holding job fairs every day for about a month about 15 times a day.

[chardonnay1]

FOR HOOKERS?

[dreamzcatchers]

looks so fake. crocodile tears

[yt5454]

What a nut job.

[Illpol1]

At 14 seconds the kid peaks up behind his hand, as if he's looking for direction. Do I keep crying?

Is that one of the kids he's not paying child support on?

[theunlistedmuffin123]

@Illpol1 hahahhahahahahhaahah

[3rkid2]

Hahahaha, is this a joke? The kid can't fake cry for shit.

[ThirdPartyRevolution]

Lulz! I wonder if the Democratic Party will then have to choose somebody as bad as he is. Then the Greens will have a better chance at getting the big seat in Illinois.

[steembot]

What the hell was he doing making this announcement at a sports bar during the Super Bowl? What was he thinking?

[JMillion]

That's what every restaurant looks like in Chicago. Fucking Bulls, Bears, Cubs, White Sox, Blackhawks....all that shit is for real and happens every day. These guys are nothing but a bunch mullet wearing, butt-rock listening, AOL surfing assholes. Democrats maybe? Fuckin bully is what he is and how the act in these parts. If you loose, then I win. And they will do everything they can to win. Remember that.

[xmenrus]

What a total wimp! LOL!!!!

[Asphyxia91]

I think he's just laughing because his old man is crying like a baby.

[GidgetTheSurferGirl]

Now let's order...Hamburger, French Fries, Cole Slaw and a sharp knife please.

[GidgetTheSurferGirl]

Take a tip from Scott Brown..oh that's too late...you have no decency.

[ytfritter]

If this is the hardest thing hes ever had to do, I think logically that means pulling knives on hookers is really easy for him.

[SweetBrwnSuga]

im sorry, but i continued to focus on the crying kid instead of Cohen. I mean what the heck?

[danneese]

Who resigns at a bennigans?

[agent1up]

@danneese when you have a 500lb kid you do...

[BlacksAreBeautiful]

@danneese I guess when you have a child that big, you better be somewhere near lots of wings and nachos!

[thisaintsweettea]

That kid is crying because they ran out of Mac N Cheese.

[Barnstormer1969]

I don't know why nobody brought up his dark past long before the election. This would have spared everyone much grief.

[chardonnay1]

@Barnstormer1969 Normally a guy like this would get promoted by the DNC.

i think he is only dropping out because this year democrats decided to ACT like they have morals.

LMFAO

[moldycroutons]

Is that his kid crying in his lap?
