Cohen’s Castle: The Congressman Shows His Keitel Side

“In my house! In my bedroom! Where my wife sleeps, where my children come to play with their toys. My home.”

~ Michael Corleone in Godfather Part II

While a press conference’s intended message, to denounce scurrilous religious and racial attacks by an opponent, went entirely off the rails for Congressman Steve Cohen yesterday, some think it might have been the best thing for him.

“I think it probably helped Cohen,” said John Ryder, a well-known local Republican and a GOP national committeeman. Like numerous other Memphians, Ryder saw the TV footage of the congressman physically ousting an uninvited Tinker supporter who, posing as a photo-journalist and documentarian, was attempting to infiltrate a group of newsmen convened at Cohen’s Midtown residence for a press conference.

“Maybe it’s a guy thing, and it goes beyond black and white,” said an admiring Ryder. “I think all of us around here realize that you can’t just meekly put up with the presence of a hostile invader in your own household.”
