Name for the Fight: Capitol Punishment
How fitting that Mike Tyson should be permitted to fight in Washington, D.C. Maybe Ken Lay can be the referee, and afterward everyone can take the Fifth.

Steve Springer made reference to what he called “the Mike Tyson traveling circus,” but the real traveling circus is the media and protesters that follow Mike Tyson.
While I don’t condone much of what Mike Tyson says or has done, I recognize that he pays heavy financial consequences such as forgoing endorsement revenue, etc., among other consequences. What’s even clearer to me is the only thing the true traveling circus wants is to see Mike Tyson broke. W.C. Fields said there’s a sucker born every minute, and it seems the suckers are playing shepherd to the sheep born every second.
