Don King is a Bush fan!

[krispos42]

I'm watching The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer on CNN, and he's interviewing Don King, the boxing promoter guy, about Anna Nicole Smith. At the end of the interview, Don King waves two American flags and says "God bless George Walker Bush"!

Gross! :puke:

Don King must have really benefited from Bush's tax cuts or something.

13. This is from a book review on Amazon. "The Life and Crimes of Don King"

From Publishers Weekly
In 1966, when King was the biggest numbers banker in Cleveland, he beat to death a man who owed him money. After serving fewer than four years of a second-degree murder conviction, he was paroled and immediately got into the boxing promoting business, helped by, among others, rock and roll songwriter/ performer Lloyd Price and Muhammad Ali. Soon, King was arranging the "Rumble in the Jungle," the Ali-Foreman fight in Zaire in 1974, which was followed by the "Thriller in Manilla," the Ali-Frazier fight in 1975. Newfield, in meticulous detail, shows how King promoted white racism and black racism with equal enthusiasm; his ties to the Cleveland mob; how he "stole" Larry Holmes; his betrayal of both Price and Ali; his relationship with Mike Tyson; and his very creative bookkeeping, which led to a 1994 indictment for wire fraud. Newfield, a syndicated columnist with the New York Post, has written a scathing portrait of America's #1 boxing promoter. Photos not seen by PW.

3. Don King is one of the worst things that happened to boxing over the last

couple of decades. I can't stand the SOB.

11. It's like an SAT question

Don King is to boxing as George Bush is to the United States!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

16. As far as I can tell, Don King RUINED boxing. Made himself a mint of course.

Boxing used to be the king of sports when I was a kid, my dad was into it, and I used to watch it on prime time TV with him.

The wholesale corruption of the King era (not that there wasn't corruption before, but still), the lousy fights, proliferation of no-name boxing federations, and pay per view only fights pretty much did the sport in.

In the space of about 10-15 years, we've gone to where a whole generation of kids has never seen boxing on TV. It's more or less dead as far as I can tell. Ultimate Fighting kind of sports are poised to fill the niche boxing once had.

8. He was on the Daily Show in 2004 supporting Bush.

Colbert interviewed him, if I recall.

9. I swear when I read the first line of your post I thought you

were going for something like this:

Obama told me he was at Edward's huge house getting cleaned up and saw a lite bright

It was taped to the side of the TV as he was watching Hillary talk about stopping the evil men. He didn't notice at first as he was reading an article by Leopold - but he had to stop reading when Mrs. Edwards took out his light bulb to replace it.

Suddenly Biden walked out of the kitchen and bumped into the tv knocking over the lite bright which had been taped to the side it, he could not see because as he was preparing to make something he got egg on his face. snippage and link to The Straight Story's thread

18. What's sad about the Don Kings and Condi Rices in America

they really think they are accepted by the White Elitest in * Republican party. The Necons would turn on a dime and have Don and Condi shining shoes and cooking for Masta then consider them equals.

History repeats itself for people like this....just sayin...
