Illinois Democrats, already concerned about losing the races for Senate and governor this fall, have apparently decided to turn a potential drubbing into a full-on trainwreck.
Scott Lee Cohen — a pawnbroker who shocked state Democratic leaders Tuesday night by winning the party's nomination for lieutenant governor — was arrested about four-and-a-half years ago and accused of holding a knife to a former live-in girlfriend's neck, newly obtained court records show.Incredibly, if probably predictably, there is more. [Via]The misdemeanor charge against Cohen was dropped weeks later when the woman — who had just been found guilty of prostitution — failed to show up to testify, according to those records.
I'm A Celebrity's Girlfriend, Get Me Out Of Here!
After George Ryan's and Blago's nonsense, frankly I find Cohen a breath of fresh air. He gives me hope to find a 24-year old prostitute as a girlfriend.

"I fell into the the wrong crowd. So I had to pull out my knife."
There are photos. This guy is toast.
Please. This would be like a candidate having a speeding ticket on his record in any other state (except maybe Jersey). I mean, who hasn't threatened a prostitute with a knife at one time or another?
