Mike Tyson Update: Endorses Republican Senatorial Candidate Michael Steele

This should move some votes:

Tyson, wearing a white and blue Steele for U.S. Senate T-shirt, said he used to believe black Republicans were "sellouts." But Tyson said he changed his mind after researching the Maryland lieutenant governor.

"We have to open our eyes more," Tyson said, as he pointed to his T-shirt.

He also suggested a three point plan for eliminating black poverty: 1) school choice, 2) increased emphasis on parental responsibility, and 3) biting the ear off of black poverty.

Michael Steele was reportedly "pleasantly surprised" by Tyson's offer to campaign with him, as well as "terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought."

Bonus Quote: From the previous Mike Tyson article today:

The man who vowed to eat Lennox Lewis' children and bit off a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear has said he's in no mood for a comeback.

Hey, it could be worse. Don King is always campaigning for Repblicans, and he killed a guy. (Manslaughter.)

I think Don King is just angling to get the promotion rights for every election.
