If it happens, this is one Bears fan who is going to make sure Illinois is not made the laughingstock of the nation. If Ditka announces, my donation to Obama's campaign is in the mail immediately. Go Barack!

"If Ditka becomes our senator I'm moving!" -you haven't learned much about politics in Chicago during your brief time here have you? I suggest "Boss" by Mike Royko.

>And hasn't he been stopped for DUI a few times, as well? I think that means he's MORE qualified to run.

10 critical questions concerning Mike Ditka's potential Senate run Some of these are kind of interesting.... Q: Ryan got bounced over divorce records showing his wife accused him of taking her to sex clubs. Any dirt on Ditka? A: He's got a long list of actions you wouldn't expect from a senator, but enough time has likely passed -- and enough apologies offered -- for voters to forgive. He was fined $20,000 for grabbing his crotch and yelling obscenities at fans. He was accused of nailing a female fan with a wad of gum in San Francisco after a loss. He was thrown out of a New Orleans casino after being accused of throwing a lit cigar at a pit boss. If Ditka becomes our senator I'm moving!
