Boxing promoter Don King announced yesterday in Las Vegas that he will sponsor what he calls the "Battle of the New Millenium", a heavyweight match between Donald Trump and Rosie O'Donnell. It will be the first event of its kind, a fight between a man and a woman.
"This is absolutely awesome", King said. "I mean, we've got the Mouth of Manhattan taking on a Whole Lotta Rosie. It just don't get no better than this."
Though the fight isn't scheduled until this Halloween, the war of words has already begun. "Rosie is a loser and she knows it. I'm going to knock her out in the first round", Trump said. O'Donnell responded by saying that the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 must have been part of some government conspiracy since it was the first time in recorded history that steel had been melted.
