Thugs For Rethuglicans

Oreo cookie fabulist Lt. Governor Michael Steele (R-MD) has found the ideal spokesperson for the Republican agenda: Convicted rapist and failed cannibal Mike Tyson:

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.

Even better, convicted killer Don King is also a Steele-belted Republican, appearing with the whiny race hustler at various campaign events.

Maybe Steele can heal the Tyson/King rift and have his criminal cronies kick Ben Cardin to death before the election.
