The Smoking Gun Gives Us Charles Barkley’s Oral History From His DUI

When we wrote about Charles Barkley and his DUI arrest after being caught speeding earlier this week, we thought there was a surprisingly light amount of verbiage. But we guess The Smoking Gun was just waiting for the New Year to give us our gift. They report that Barkley wasn’t some robot while getting arrested, but his typical affable self—joking, stumbling and explaining why he was speeding in the first place. The answer, as any good man knows, is a nice blowgenie.

“You want the truth? I was gonna drive around the corner and get a blow job,” answered Barkley… A cooperative Barkley also joked with a civilian police employee that, “I’ll tattoo your name on my ass” if it would get him out of the DUI charge. Barkley, 45, was busted after failing field sobriety tests, and had blood drawn so investigators could establish his alcohol content.

What is it with NBA players and asses? First Shaq wants Kobe to eat his ass, now Barkley offers his up to tattooing to get out of a DUI. We would say we spot a disturbing trend starting if the idea of Kobe tossing Shaq’s salad and Charles Barkley’s ass weren’t disturbing enough.
