  1. Poor Eustace. We’ll have to bring out the smelling salts every time Holyfield decks Mittens.

  2. I really hope Holyfield forgets that it’s a charity match and just beats the living hell out Romney.

    Took a hint after losing the election and following your true calling, a Punching Bag.

  4. 'Am I doing this to show how vigorous and ready for action I am despite being born in the same year as the inevitable nominee for the Democrat party who’s had at least a couple of brain concerns with that in-flight aneurysm and the weird fire fight memory thing at that airport? Nah, look, I’m finished with presidential politics … I mean, you never know, but: probably.

    Am I doing this just in case the entire RNC stage collapses into a heap of blithering clownish incompetence and the party comes to me on bended knee practically begging me to accept the nomination just like so many of our nation’s leading job creators do every day privately? Hahahahahahaha that’s intended as jocularity, right? Lord knows what makes you people think such things … well, I suppose it’s technically true that anything can happen in this cockamamie world, but look the RNC has so many, many, many, many, MANY candidates, I’m sure some, perhaps several, surely at least one, I’m not going to name names here, is capable of winning the White House … I mean, IF for any reason I was to hear the call, of course I’m in fighting trim and RWA to serve, but really: hahaehahaha … ha.’

    Oh christ please tell me he isn’t running.

    Oh christ please tell me he is running.

    I don’t know which I want. I think the best outcome is Holyfield accidentally removes his head.
