OK - Cohen T-Shirt. What is he wearing on his feet? White running shoes?

One guy has a job to show up uninvited to public events wearing a ridiculous costume to press the flesh with unsuspecting attendees and pose for pictures.
The other guy is the Home Depot mascot.

Scott Lee Cohen’s idea of putting the fix in

“There’s no question that the intent of most of Illinois’ election law is to favor and encourage the two-party system to the detriment of new parties and independents.” - Ron Michaelson, former director of the Illinois State Board of Elections.
Michaelson had to wear the Home Depot suit to protect his identity from the anti-democrats in Illinois who support such disgusting and discriminatory election laws.

With his big ears, Cohen gets as close as he can to anyone who looks like Obama. This is as close as he can get.
No one can enter my pawn shops with a hat over their face, but in the sunlight it’s OK>

He’s reaching for the $1,000 Cohen offered him, if he would pose for the picture.

Jason Plummer carries out double-purpose undercover operation.
[In case anyone has forgotten, Plummer’s family owns RP Lumber, a Home Depot competitor. And think about it, when was the last time anyone saw young Jason? Hmmmm…]

Hey, Just Sayin’, lay off poor Jason Plummer. It’s the height of little league season–I hear he’s got a new glove and everything!

Promising to “rock the system”, Scott Cohen poses with his campaign fundraising manager Rod Blagojevich! Sure looks alot like Blago with the goofy grin and big ears, not to mention it would take a hat that big to cover his head of hair.
Comment by Macoupin Observer Thursday, Jun 24, 10 @ 9:03 pm
Maybe Cohen can play the Adlai Stevenson card and claim that he resigned from the Democratic ticket because he could not stand his running mates.

Is there really a lawsuit pending against Joe Walsh filed by his former campaign manager in the Cook County Circuit Court? Was it filed in a different circuit? Dorothy Brown’s web site does not list the lawsuit. Did Liscio file using a business name instead of his own?

The Home Depot dude predicts how many weeks until Cohen drops out of the race…
