1. Yep......
I was really disappointed when I learned he was a Repug. Perfect example of someone voting against their own interests.

8. A murderer, too
Don't remember the details, but he was convicted of killing a guy in Cleveland around 1958 or so. A liar, a con-man and a brute -- in short, a perfect Republican.

10. Felony record:
he served time for beating a man to death over a dispute in Don's "number running" days. Apparently, Don severed all ties to the mob, because within a year after his release from prison, this convicted murderer was promoting heavyweight championship bouts.

7. Birds of a feather
Now there was a campaign mistake. I'd have had Bush & Don King ads all over the place. And that Bible quote, "Ye shall know them by their fruits", or something like that.

9. Yup! They go after our leaders. That is how Rove does it. He did
that in Texas, they are trying to do it to Lieberman (to get more of NYork & Florida). They got King. All Sharpton has been stalked by GOP-Faux News-corporate types with large cash donations.

That is Karl's way.

Being a Republican is fashionable among wealthy crooks.

13. Of course he is.
He loves to have someone else do all the hard work for him, then rob them blind when they're just over their peak.
