Charles Barkley started the year off getting busted on a DUI and on his way to fornication. When he said he is not a role model he was absolutely correct. How can you be a role model when you say the 1st thing that comes to your mind whether it hurts someone else or not, drink and drive, and cheat on your wife. Charles claims he wanted to run for governor in Alabama. HA!

I actually do not think this will hurt his chance of becoming governor however, it will give his competition something to use against him as if they needed anything.

I would like to know what is up with washed up celebrities vieing for public office positions. Is there no standard of expertise, experience, or rank that you have to go through to acutally hold office of senator, governor, or mayor?
