Conservative Basher Charles Barkley on DUI Arrest: All I Really Wanted Was Oral Sex

When last seen in NewsBusters, former NBA star Charles Barkley was in the midst of a conservative bashing spree as you can see here smearing Fox News with this quote:

“I watch CNN, they’re not f***ed up like Fox,” Barkley told B&C.  “They are a mouthpiece for the Republican Party. I watch [Fox] a couple times when there is someone I want to see on there. But they’re corrupt."

This was on the heels of Barkley bashing conservatives a few months earlier on CNN  as "fake Christians":

Hey, I live in Arizona. I have got great respect for Senator McCain. Great respect. But I don’t like the way the Republicans are taking this country. Every time I hear the word "conservative," it makes me sick to my stomach, because they’re really just fake Christians, as I call them. That’s all they are. But I just — I’m going to vote Democratic no matter what.

Well, Barkley has just proven that he is truly a liberal by avoiding responsibility for his DUI arrest yesterday by blaming the fact that he ran a stop sign on his anxiety to get oral sex. Here is Barkley's claim as reported by TMZ (emphasis mine):

This may be the very best police report of 2008. When Charles Barkley was busted in Arizona early this morning for DUI, he told cops he ran a stop sign because he was in a hurry to get some oral sex.

According to the officer who wrote the report, "He told me that he ran the stop sign because he was in a hurry to pick up the girl I saw get in the passenger seat."

The officer continues: "He asked me to admit that she was 'hot.' He asked me, 'You want the truth?' When I told him I did he said, 'I was gonna drive around the corner and get a b**w job. He then explained that she had given him a 'b**w job' one week earlier and said it was the best one he had ever had in his life."

The report says when Barkley was taken to the station, he told one of the employees, "I'll tattoo my name on your ass" if he helped "get him out of the DUI." According to the report, "He laughed and then quickly corrected himself and said, 'I'll tattoo your name on my ass' and then laughed again."

The report also says officers "found a handgun in the vehicle" which was immediately impounded. The report doesn't say if the handgun was legal or not, and the only thing that we know for sure was loaded...

You can find the actual arrest report over at The Smoking Gun. So conservatives are "corrupt" and "fake?" Class act, Charles, but thanks for the laughs!

Charles:  "But I just — I’m going to vote Democratic no matter what."

Hey Charles, "no matter what" sure does allow for anything doesn't it?

Anyway Charles, tell us something we don't already know.  And what kind of soap was used on your brain?

I also note that the report left off the (D) after his name.

Apparently, Charles ...

Apparently, Charles is the one who is f***** up. To make  comments like that, there has to be something wrong with with him. To do things "just because or no matter what" doesn't show an awful lot of thought process. It seems that Sir Charles has had his head bounced of the hardboards once to oftern.

This is another "so called" star who needs to think before opening his mouth, otherwise he needs to keep his mouth shut.

What is this innate thing

January 1, 2009 - 14:52 ET by RR GOP

What is this innate thing that Americans have for kissing the a$$es of low-lifes that can chase a ball around a field, memorize a script or a song even though they are the kind of people you would never want to personally interract with, trust your children with, nor your property?  What's even funnier is that they look down on everybody else (their 'fans').

Scumbags like Ty Cobb and Michael Vick come to mind.

But, I know the drill...right now there's somebody reading this going, "Oh, hell no!  I know Blah Blah, and he lives down my steet...great guy, give ya the shirt of his back.  Played for the ____s and was a great _____...."

A lot of folks want to moan about teachers not being able to do anything else (I guess because most folks were lousy students, so the logic follows...anyway)...these knuckleheads are some of the sorriest losers out there and if it weren't for dumbasses like us who support them through our viewership they'd be the actual nobodies they really are.

RRGop, Amen. Great Post. I

January 1, 2009 - 15:15 ET by thebutlerdidit

RRGop, Amen. Great Post. I have met/lived by some famous people, some decent, good people, some just absolute dregs of society. I can proudly say I don't support people like that with my dollars, I pretty much have given up on most movies, tv programs, shows, etc. Yes, there's some I miss seeing, but not much. I just read a book, and I'm a happier person. I have met Michael Vick many times, The Falcon's training camp is directly across the street from where my kids attended Jr. High. The school made sure the players came over and spoke often and the kids would go over and watch the players practice all the time. It makes me angry he was supposedly a role model for my kids, and I think he should be serving more jail time.

The trouble with Barkley, 

January 1, 2009 - 16:00 ET by motherbelt

The trouble with Barkley,  and others like him is that they think they can "choose" to be a role model. 

Charles (I won't use the "Sir") and Michael:  you don't choose.  You get chosen. Whether for good or ill depends on you.

Anyone who goes into professional sports should be prepared for that. 

And if you don't want to be a role model, then don't be nice to kids, don't act like you care about them.  Make it plain that you are in it for the money, it's a job, and that's all.

Well said! I remember him

January 1, 2009 - 16:12 ET by thebutlerdidit

Well said! I remember him always signing the kids Vick jerseys and footballs, he would even toss the ball around sometimes with the kids. He would then go over to the cheerleaders, my daughter was one, and cheer with them, it makes me sick. I'm glad my kids weren't that taken with all the ballplayers, but some of the kids were just over the moon, great job, jerk.

So the real Christians,

January 1, 2009 - 15:48 ET by

So the real Christians, according to Sir Charles, are the ones who like to murder babies, marry sodomites and DRIVE DRUNK on their way to BJ's, got it?

I laughed like crazy when I heard about this...Oh Sir Charles and his blathering wisdom continues on...the msm created this POS, hope they are proud.

He'll probably just get a slap on the hand...until the next time that is.

Resume' Enhancer

January 1, 2009 - 16:21 ET by Caringwhiteguy

Let's not discount the fact Charles' latest escapade may actually be a resume' enhancer.  This could be especially true in Democrat primaries should he decide to run for public office.

He'll need to move somewhere like California, New York, Massachusetts, or maybe even ILLINOIS.  However, it might not be quite as helpful in Alabama, where he keeps teasing about a run for the governorship.

January 1, 2009 - 17:47 ET by stratman

I have been disgusted with this lowlife's antics since the day he spit on the little girl.  It matters not that he apologized to the girl and her family.  He is still unrepentent about not hitting his target.

If he goes to jail, and that is a pretty big IF considering the superficial celebrity genuflection this culture affords idiots like Barkley, I'm sure he will not have to rush to get his groove thang on. 

Unfortunately, Barkley would be a celebrity in jail as well, the punishment of incarceration diluted.  I think he should be sent to Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Maricopa County, AZ for his re-education on being a good citizen.

We need more law enforcement officers like Sheriff Joe - he even tells Obama and US Attorney-to-be Eric Holder to kiss his grits on arresting illegals!

Fake Christians,huh Chuckie?

 After yesterday I'm not touching that little doozie, but that Barkley guy is a real piece of work, I'm sure his mother is very proud. Iverson's mother was.....just sayin'......

I have just about as much concern with Barkley's opinion on any thing as I have for Michael Vick or Bozo the Clown.  None at all. Chuck from Tacoma

Hey Dave... Do not know

Hey Dave...

Do not know if you've seen my posts from around ten days back or so, I can't remember what threads they were on, but it was about Sir Charles as I called him, only because of Neville...who I mentioned took over this spot on CNN, Bobby Batista used to have it for years, anyway, it bugged me to death because I could not remember her name....now I do...at least the last one...the first is something like Arthella, Orthella, nevertheless my post was about her giving him the name weekly on the show as Sir Charles...it drove me bonkers...he is dumb as a box of rocks, he proved it there, Savage was right, Neville as usual, always protected Barkley, she used to be on with BOR on Fri. nights before getting this job...don't miss her either...or him. 

Thanks for putting this here, in more ways than one.
