Charles Barkley on Quayle and the Mellencamp Walk-out |
|
Mellencamp said he couldn't care less that Quayle got his knickers in a twist: "I certainly wouldn't have changed a word." NBA Hall of Famer Charles Barkley backed Mellencamp, saying, "He's right." While that may sound odd coming from a former conservative, Barkley told a local reporter,
"I was a Republican - until they lost their minds." http://www.nypost.com/gossip/pagesix/bad_vibes_over_quayle_exit_pagesix_.htm

3. The defection isn't complete until I see him campaign for the Dem nominee |
|
Republicans can say all they want. When they get in the fuckin voting booth or donate it is an entirely different story.

4. Chuck was a Dem BEFORE he turned Repuke |

6. He fell in love with his money for awhile when he started making it |
|
hand over fist. So he went to the dark side. Now he's got so much money, he can afford to use it to wipe his ass, and taxes aren't so onerous to him as they once were.
He's figured out, at long last, that it's just money.

9. Well, here's a Charles Barkley who's a Democrat!!! |
|
But if he is any relation, he's probably a distant cousin to Sir Charles: http://www.mdarchives.state.md.us/msa/mdmanual/06hse/html/msa02763.html
