Charles Barkley holds court during bizarre prison press conference (calls Limbaugh a jackass)
New York Daily News ^ | March 9, 2009 | Samuel Goldsmith

It's Barkley for three!

Days in jail, that is.

TNT studio analyst and former Dream Teamer Charles Barkley reported to an outdoor "Tent City" jail in Arizona Saturday to serve his three-day sentence for drunken driving.

"You come here when you screw up," Barkley said at a bizarre news conference hours after he arrived at the jail. "I don't blame anybody for this situation but myself."

The loquacious hoops legend went on to blast critics of President Obama, saying "Rush Limbaugh and a lot of jackasses are giving him a hard time right now."

FWIW Barkley has been pretty standup about this incident. He “owned” the deed and has said he takes full responsibility. FWIW.

Sheriff Joe allowed this? Barkley isn’t using this as a learning experience but as 15 more minutes.

Thugs in jail are always trying to hide their guilt by pointing blame at others.

Rush had nothing to do with his crime.
barkley, you are out of bounds.

I love how these Marxist now whine about how Obama is getting a hard time now, when Republicans are in charge the left is always whining and complaining, but Obama is suppose to get a free ride.

No way, no how!

And Rush and Barkley used to be buds! More unity from the Zero.

“But if y’all really, really want to put me as low as I can go, I can do that and make you feel better.”

And there it is...”Charles the Victim.” If y’all really, really want to put me as low as I can go...Yes Charles, we want to put you as low as you can go...Actually, Sir Charles, “you” have managed quiet well all by yourself — but again, with all the money and fame you have received over your lifetime — It is obviously someone else’s fault...Problem with society #1. No one is ever responsible for their own actions anymore. IMO.

Barkley is an amusing nitwit and not to be taken seriously.

It is termed “exercising one's right to protest” when a Dem targets but when a Dem is the target they say “This isn't a time for division. We need to come together as Americans.” As a side note, I saw a bumper sticker yesterday: “Read my lipstick, I vote Democrat.”

If Barkley couldn’t play basketball, he’d be a waiter at Denny’s.

Maybe he should stop drinking and gambling and gather his thoughts.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, in Phoenix there are billboards all over listing all of the ramifications of a DUI. The first one is an automatic 30 days in the slammer among other very punitive repercussions

I haven’t watched a basketball game since dribbling the ball became optional...and they turned it over to these thugs.

Where are all the Barkley supporters on FR who not all that long ago wanted Chuckie to run for Governor of Alabama as a Republican?
Hmmm?
(sound of crickets chirping...)

They must be hiding out along with the “Condi Rice for President” crew...

Since when are prisoners allowed to hold press conferences?

Actually, I wish he would be “quiet.”
