I don’t got a problem with it. He drives drunk. Does his time. I can respect that. Hopefully when he’s done serving his time he can go back to being First Lady of the United States.

I think you're confusing Charles Barkley with Patrick Ewing.

I wonder if Barkley remembers saying the following:

"I don't care what people think. People are stupid."

"I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids."

"My family got all over me because they said Bush is only for the rich people. Then I reminded them, 'Hey, I'm rich'."

"Poor people cannot rely on the government to come to help you in times of need. You have to get your education. Then nobody can control your destiny."

Well, he’s not complaining about it. He did the crime now he is doing the time. What’s wrong with it? Charles is not a bad sort...he is honest and speaks his mind. This is still America isn’t it?

“I never realized how much free time you have when there’s nothing to do” (paraphrase)

True genius.

...he is honest and speaks his mind.

Ya, thats great, but when you change your story
2 or 3 different times, its not the same.
Chas has always been a blow hard, just as the
rest of the high profile sports dolts, they have the
stage to voice their opinions. I just wish ol Chocolate Thunder
would stand true for a change.
