At the press conference, Tyson posed for photos with fans, signed autographs and campaigned for Maryland U.S. Senate candidate Michael Steele. 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.

I guess that wraps up the thug, rapist, wife-abuser, and psychopath vote for Steele. :evilgrin:

2. Tyson wants to fight women.

I don't think Tyson has found his marbles yet, from the article:

... Tyson said ... and that future stops on the tour might include bouts with women, possibly professional boxer Ann Wolfe. ...

"She's such a prominent, dominant woman in the boxing field," Tyson said.

When asked if he was joking about fighting women, Tyson said, "I'm very serious."

Russ Young, a promoter for Wolfe, said such a bout will never happen.

"That's the first we've heard of it," Young said. "No state would sanction that. She would be outweighed by 60 to 70 pounds. Ann would never entertain the idea." ...
