From the Rightist website Redstate: Redstate.com
quote:
Steve Cohen is a miserable little suckweasel of a Congressman from Tennessee’s Ninth District who somehow manages to find primary challengers who are worse than he is, which is saying something. Victoria Brink is, and I am quoting The Hill on this one, “a Texas State University blonde bombshell featured in a college co-ed calendar.”
[pause]
...Yessss. This will no doubt end well.
Anyway, yesterday night and this morning these two Tweets went out from the former to the latter:
quote:
Brink: "Just saw U on TV"
Cohen: "nice to know you were watchin SOTU (state of the union). Happy Valentines beautiful girl. ilu"
‘ilu,’ as the Hill helpfully tells us, is short for ‘I love you’ (or ‘I like you,’ but the first one is more fun). It’s kind of entertaining to contemplate that Cohen didn’t have to explain THAT acronym while telling Ms. Brink what “SOTU” stood for, though.
Now, I know what some of you are thinking. You’re thinking Geez, Mr. Lane: who among us has not regularly corresponded with out-of-district hot bikini coeds who are one-third our ages? Why, you’re a political blogger, Moe! They must throw themselves at you by the dozen! …And it’s true: they do. It’s quite inconvenient, at times. But I have this rule about being a bachelor Congressman who goes around sending probably-meant-to-be-DMs to the “the daughter of a longtime friend;” yeah, I don’t do any of that.
Because it’s CREEPY, that’s why. Especially from the member of a party which is theoretically supposed to be against powerful old men being creepy towards young ladies.
Some of Redstate's readers responded:

gunnyg2002 − He's just following BJ Bubba and Ted Kennedy and Chris Dodd's fine example. Heck, BJ Bubba was IMPEACHED and DISBARRED and the Left treats him like he won WW2 single-handedly!....Where there is smoke, there's fire.
earlgrey − I don't care if he is a congressman, a bikini model ought to be able to do better.

However, it seems that the Right-wing didn't do any research before attacking the Congressman.
quote:
“It is very disappointing that Rep. Cohen would use his official congressional Twitter account...to send personal and unnecessarily revealing messages to college co-eds. Apparently, we have our own Weiner of the South,” Tennessee Republican Party's executive director Brent Leatherwood said in the statement released Wednesday.
Tennessee congressman: Young woman in Twitter exchange is my daughter
Rep. Steve Cohen has revealed HE'S THE FATHER OF THE 24-YEAR-OLD TEXAS WOMAN HE WAS COMMUNICATING WITH ON TWITTER DURING THE STATE OF THE UNION in an exchange that led some people to jump to a different conclusion.
Cohen, who has never been married, said Friday that he decided to publicly acknowledge Victoria Brink as his daughter after bloggers and the media tried to make the exchanges appear salacious. Cohen's message to Brink included a Twitter abbreviation for “I love you.”
“It's amazing how the minds jumped, and started speaking as if they knew what was going on,” Cohen said. “It should be a real lesson hopefully...not to jump to conclusions.”
Don't worry, Congressman Cohen - the Right will continue to shoot at any moderate or liberal without taking time to aim...
