Mike Ditka: "I'm afraid of Dixie Chick-like backlash"

Former Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints football coach, Mike Ditka decided not to pursue the Republican nomination for Senator from Illinois. (The former nominee Jack Ryan, dropped out after it was discovered that he likes to have kinky sex in front of strangers.) Verbal Jazz has discovered that Iron Mike is really afraid of the kind of backlash that haunted the Dixie Chicks after singer Natalie Maines expressed embarrassment over president Bush. "We all know that artists and entertainers take a lot of heat for expressing a liberal viewpoint," said Ditka. "Would the same hold true for sports figures who are on the conservative side? I don't want to find out."
 
While Ditka is not available to run for Senate, he did express an interest to do more Levitra ads as long as they came with a free sample.
