Since Republicans like the guilt by association, is the fact that Steele is Mike Tyson's. . .
. . .ex-brother-in-law relevant? BTW Tyson and Don King endorsed Steelin in 2006.

From today's Washington Post:
-snip-
In one of his allegations, Fabian points to a February 2007 payment by Steele's Senate campaign of more than $37,000 to Brown Sugar Unlimited, the company run by Steele's sister, Monica Turner. Campaign finance records list the expense as having been for "catering/web services." Turner filed papers to dissolve the company 11 months before the payment was received.

Turner, a doctor and the former wife of Mike Tyson, declined yesterday to describe any services she provided to the campaign. "Ah, it's the 'sabotage Michael Steele' story," she told a reporter before closing the door of her home in Potomac. "No, I'm not with that program. . . . I'm not going to do this."

3. If We Play The Kevin Bacon Games Repugnicans Do...
Steele's own record shows how both arrogant and incompetent he is...no need to play the association game.

4. Iron Mike is a good guy.
People should not try to smear him with Steele.

5. If you're going to do that, you have to call Tyson's cousin Keith Olbermann guilty too.
Just sayin'.

They're cousins by marriage. The niece of Tyson's adoptive father married Olbermann's father's brother.

KO often jokingly refers to Tyson as "Cousin Mike."

6. Can Mike Tyson even read what that shirt says? And Don King
was out on election day running around with flags and loving some Obama. Steele is nuts and he's being used big time.
