Another has-been pro-athelete shilling for republicans...

Now it's Brett Favre, shilling for Mississippi's Thad Cochran.

A prima donna who "retired," went to the rival Minnesota Vikings to play only for more money, and has finally burned himself out.

Watch Brett Favre’s ‘Hail Mary’ Ad For Thad Cochran

NFL veteran Brett Favre is going all in for endangered Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran, a Republican incumbent who is in the re-election fight of his life.

In a new television ad sponsored by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Favre, a native of Gulfport, Mississippi, urges voters to support Cochran who faces a challenging runoff next Tuesday against Tea Party insurgent Chris McDaniel, a state senator.

“I’ve learned through football that strong leadership makes the difference between winning and losing. And when it comes to our state’s future, trust me: Mississippi can win — and win big with Thad Cochran as our strong voice in Washington,” Favre says in the 30-second ad. “Thad Cochran always delivers, just like he did during Katrina.”

Favre calls Cochran a “proven and respected leader.”
