Cincinnati Councilwoman Explains Her Fight: 'She Called Me A Whore'

CINCINNATI (TDB) -- Democratic Cincinnati Councilwoman Laketa Cole is making headlines over fisticuffs with her squeeze's ex-sweetie, and explains that she didn't like being labeled a strumpet.

"She called me a whore, so I called her one back. That's when she ran up on me and started attacking me. My shirt was all torn up; she grabbed my hair and pulled it. I had a mark on my face."

Joe Wessels has it down nearly round by round in today's Cincinnati Post. Inquiring minds are wondering: Can you deliver a left hook to the face of somebody who calls you a hooker? Cole is running for reelection.
