SAN DIEGO CHICKEN IS MASCOT MOST WANT FOR PRESIDENT

SAN DIEGO (Wireless Flash) -- Here's a bird-brained idea: The San Diego Chicken is the sports mascot most folks want as president. According to a poll by MSNBC, the famous chicken stands beak and feathers above rival sports mascots. The news comes as no surprise to Ted Giannoulas, who has been playing the mascot since 1974. He believes his crazy character is the godfather of sports mascots because teams didn't have performing mascots before he started his feathery schtick at San Diego baseball games -- so it's only logical Americans would want him as president. Giannoulas says he's honored by the vote of confidence, and jokes he'd be able to make all political parties happy as president because he has "...both a left-wing and a right- wing."
