Five questions with Don King

NEW YORK (CNN) -- After watching the speech by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani from an RNC skybox suite Monday, Boxing promoter Don King told CNN why he hopes President George Bush scores a knockout in November.

CNN: What do you think of the convention so far?

KING: I think it's a great start for a great future for this country for all Americans. I think it established the fact that George Walker Bush is a tough man with a tender heart. His leadership is impeccable and gives comfort to all Americans, friend and foe alike.

CNN: What brings you to the RNC. Is there a particular issue you are here to support?

KING: My issue is the inclusiveness of African-Americans who have been excluded. When George Bush says he wants one America he is reaching out to African Americans. He struck a chord that goes to the root of racism by appointing qualified people to top positions. Colin Powell as secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice [as] national security adviser, and in so doing he gave a new sense of dignity to those who have been disenfranchised, who have been left out, giving the very thing we've been seeking for 240 years ... by appointing blacks in important positions. Not that they are toadies or sycophants or Uncle Toms, but qualified people who just happen to be black ... symbolizing ... one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Four more years for George W. Bush.

CNN: Are you a lifelong Republican?

KING: I'm a 'Republicrat.' I'm for whoever's going to be doing something or the upward mobility of America, black and white alike.

CNN: Did you vote for George Bush four years ago?

KING: I think I did. I don't really know. I'll have to go back and check my notes.

CNN: How is politics like boxing?

KING: It's life. It's the ups and downs of life. It's really the essence of what you do in everyday life. George Bush is a fighter, he's a good fighter. His fighting in politics is like the fighting in the ring. They don't give in and they don't give up and they don't quit.

A convicted felon who has done virtually everything he can do to destroy his industry in betterment of himself and who has less than zero credibility....Ype, he's a shining example alright

(And yes, I know you were being sarcastic...just thought the irony was too good to ignore)

Yep, and sometimes they even hit below the belt!

Sorry... I just couldn't resist.

This convicted felon is just doing what he always does best, mouthing off in from of a camera. He must be reliving Thrilla in Manila. He actual referred to bush as a "liberal"

"So, I'm saying that George Walker Bush is going to be that white liberal, because he has the type of intestinal fortitude to move on. He's decisive, bold, audacious. He's revolutionary.

HEMMER: You just called George Bush a white liberal.

D. KING: Yes, I did.

HEMMER: Is that right?

D. KING: Yes, I did"

And sometimes...just occassionally, mind you...the fight is even fixed (but don't tell anyone)

Wow...He's a better representative than I thought, now that I've put more thought into it
