ahhh what's another day in the news without a stupid idiot getting attention?
IRON MIKE UNRAVELS
Just when you think Mike Tyson couldn't possibly do more damage to his public image, he pulls another stunt.
In an interview with Fox News Channel's Greta Van Susteran for a Thursday night airing, Tyson lashed out at beauty pageant contestant Desiree Washington -- whom he was convicted of raping. He served three years in prison before being paroled.
"She's a lying, monstrous young lady -- I just hate her guts," Tyson said. "She puts me in that state where I don't know . . . but now I really do want to rape her and her (expletive) mama."
That outburst is just not going to go over well. Neither will this elaboration:
"Anybody else having fun like that, it's young boys having fun," Tyson said. "But it's me, I'm a big black rapist. . . . That's the stigma I'm left with."
Especially after America got a peek at this interview. Elsewhere on the Tyson beat, the New York Post reported that Iron Mike was seen shopping on Madison Ave., buying $276 worth of tank tops -- with slogans like "I Have Issues" and "Husband Beater."
And, oh yes, he had a fresh bandage on his large facial tribal tattoo, so he had some more work done.
