This is yesterday on Pardon the Interruption. The co-hosts, Michael Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser, were talking to Mike Ditka, the former coach of Da Bears and also the New Orleans Saints.
Wilbon: You toyed with running for the Senate against Barack Obama a few years ago. He's running for president now and has been very clear about picking the Bears. Does that seem risky for you for him to go out...? I don't think he'd go out on a limb but he went out, came right out publicly and picked the Bears.
DITKA: You don't want to get me in politics now do you? I met a guy on the street corner the other day; he's going to file to run for president, too. Anybody can take a shot at it. I got nothing against Obama. My goodness, nobody would know who he was if I would have ran.
Kornheiser: "Well, you should declare right now for something. You want to declare for any office right now?"
DITKA: I declare for the United States of America. I'm an American and I'm proud. I don't want to hear all this old jumbo mumbo, "We're a bad country. We got this wrong, that wrong." I love the country, period! The good overweighs the bad by far, and if people don't understand that, they should get the heck out.
Now this is my kind of guy. Wish he would have run for Senate in 04.
