Illinois Leader ^ | 7.14.04

Simple, the dingleberry is on YOUR shoulders.

[Reagan Man]

>>>Ditka's willingness to take on the candidacy may be in doubt now.

I was looking forward to hearing all about Ditka's campaign agenda. If this is his response, then maybe he's not the right person for the job. Temper tandrums don't work well in politics.

[headsonpikes]

Uh,hyuk hyuk hyuk!

That's a good one, Gomer!

hyuk hyuk hyuk

[dmz]

a move born out of desperation, but hey, the supporters are probably looking the Schwarzenegger model.

[kjam22]

I could see him loosing his cool and shoving his cigar up Hillary's nose at some point.... so that in and of it's self would be a good thing.

[Miss Marple]

As I pointed out, we don't know for sure that he was upset, since we have only the reporter's word for it. And leaving without talking to the press is not exactly a tantrum.

At any rate, Ditka is better than anyone else the Illnois Republicans have, and he is pretty conservative.

And also, he could win. That's pretty important.

[ThreeYearLurker]

That's a good one!

[Reagan Man]

>>>... he pretty much always looks angry, which suits my mood to a tee.

Sauerbraten. LOL Miss Marple, the female Mike Ditka!

[Cinnamon Girl]

As word of the meeting leaked out to the press, Ditka reportedly was angered when met by reporters, exited the meeting promptly and hopped into his black Escalade, and left, obviously upset.

Yeah baby, yeah!

[Sloth]

Why not? In the states they come from you are not likely to get anyone more conservative that can win.

Yeah, I guess you're right. We have to support RINOs like Arlen Specter because their states are way too liberal to ever elect anyone like, say, Rick Santorum.

Also we need every R just to control the Senate. We lose a couple seats and its Majority Leader Dasche again and the Dems decide what issues to vote on and when.

LOL, who do you think controls the Senate now? Daschle has decreed his 60-votes rule and the GOP caves as always. If we get, say, 62 seats, Daschle will merely institute a 70-vote rule instead, and stays in charge of the Senate. And the Republicans will roll over and apologize for not rolling over more quickly.

I could see him losing his cool and shoving his cigar up Hillary's nose at some point...

Nah, I better not coment... *g*

[Warren]

Drag out the suspene??

[mhking]

Thanks for nothing, Drudge. Sometimes, you need to know when to keep yer yap shut for an hour or three.

[Bulwark]

LOL... maybe he'd work out a trade. Like McCaine for.... well for most anybody.

Given his body of work with the Saints, he'd work out a trade with Egypt and Isreal.. we'd give them F15s, they'd give us a lot of sand. Or isn't that how it works already? On second thought, he couldn't do much worse than the senators we already have.

[unspun]

guns

Clue: he calls himself "ultra, ultra, ultra right wing"

[rushmom]

He does have a temper.

[dead]

Clue: he calls himself "ultra, ultra, ultra right wing"

So does Pat “Peace In Our Time!” Buchanan.

[Warren]

It's disgusting how wimpy the senate repubs are.
Trying to please those who are not worth pleasing.

[NCjim]

Best of all he LOATHES reporters.

Anybody who loathes reporters can't be too bad.
