State Rep. Mark Cohen Is The Angel Of Life

I touched on this earlier today, but let’s go back to John Baer’s column on State Rep. Mark B. Cohen in today’s Daily News.

Cohen has been a representative for 32 years, is the third highest-ranking Democrat and loves his stipends: $46K in per diems, $28K for books and magazines. (And he didn’t even review AOL For Dummies for us!) But, he defends his record and says he’s proud of pushing organ donor awareness in the 1990s:

“All over the country, people live longer lives because of me,” Cohen says.

Strangely, Cohen did not mention “humility” as one of his accomplishments while in office.
