If I worked for Ditka, I would not want to be the one who leaked any story.

With emotional control such as that it is best he not try to run for public office.

Well, if you can't tolerate being screwed with by the press, then "United States Senator" is probably not the job for you.

Drudge may want to get scarce for a while.

I don't think he's PO'ed about being screwed with by the press... he's PO'ed about someone in the Illinois GOP tipping off the press about the secret meeting.

Heck, if he's that thin skinned, he probably doesn't belong in politics anyway. If he stays, he better learn to live with and handle leaks, not throw temper tantrums because of them. But then, maybe the leaked story isn't true....

hopefully this is just a deflection move to drag out the suspense before he officially announces...

Last night on the NFL Network, there was some film of coaches vs. the press, featuring Iron Mike. I would pay good coin to have a front-row seat for Senator Ditka's first press conference!

Best footage was of Bill Parcells calling reporters "commies'!

I guess he wasn't too serious about applying for the job.

Great publicity, in my opinion.

Takes the media attention away from that creep Obama, shows those cretins in the Windy City that the coach is still the coach and demonstrates his decisiveness and character.

Who's that wimp running against him, again?

"If I worked for Ditka, I would not want to be the one who leaked any story."

If you worked for Ditka, you wouldn't have leaked the story, you'd know better.


Memo to Mike Ditka:

Welcome to IL GOP politics, Mike. They know you very well, and just pushed the button required to get you to walk away.

If you are so easily led by the nose like this, you shouldn't run.

Best regards,

Badeye

I would be too. That's one thing about Schwartzenegger: it appears he can keep a lid on things--and so can his staffers. Enough of this leaking business. Politics need less of that, more of trustworthiness. Don't blame Ditka one teeney bit.

I was thinking about that footage...

You just know a Demmie campaign ad would feature clips of Ditka blowing his stack and probably using profanity from the sidelines.

Just a thought.
