Charles Barkley sums up tonight's historic milestone.

"I'll bet Geraldine Ferraro is spinning in her grave right now."

Charles is the new Yogi Berra of our age. Or Mark Twain. Whoever. In any case, this is side-splittingly funny.

FFFAALLL!!!

Oh my.

I love Charles Barkley!

He has always been worth listening to.

Charles always was a great rebounder.

ROTFLMAO!

LOL

Charles Barkley, the guy who elbowed skinny Africans across the court. Is he now Our Lady of Fair Elections?

Rec'd! Too funny.

Charles may be more accurate than we think..

She does have something of a Vampire Zombie look to her. Maybe she carries soil from her homeland in her suitcase!

Does she have a butler named Renfield?

O my fucking god that is hilarious! I may die - LOLOLOLOL!

Yeah, what Tena said!

Gotta love Charles - that's just hilarious!!

Yeah, I thought that was a good one too.

Don't forget Ed Koch, he must have had a heart attack too.

That's classic!

Got a link?

When did he say that? I couldn't find any articles about it.

Ah puns!

What? Is she still alive?

Barkley for governor of Alabama!

Quotes:
Before his famous race against Dick Bavetta: "I have nothing against old people; I want to be one myself one day."

"I want to be a politician. I think I understand how the system works, I think a lot of politicians are corrupt, and it's about time we put some people in there who are going to look out for the majority of the people instead of the rich people."

On Iraq: "It's an easy call for me. We've got to get out of Iraq. [Saddam Hussein] is dead. That situation hasn't gotten better. So, anything that the Republicans say about the war in Iraq -- it's just bogus. I mean, it's a terrible situation. We've got a lot of innocent kids getting killed over there, and we're never going to be safe over there."

"I love sam cassell, he's a great guy... but he does look like E.T."

On the Timberwolves' bench, nick-named 'The Zoo Crew': "The zoo crew? Must be a petting zoo."

Poor black people are in great shape. Black people use duct tape for everything. You break a chair, use duct tape. Your pants rip, use duct tape. You tear your ACL, use duct tape!" -- Barkley, on the nation's warning to the public to buy duct tape.

"I had to explain to my daughter why that skank Monica Lewinski has an hour special on HBO this weekend."

"They say it about brothers, but I can guarantee everybody in Finland look alike."

On the olympic sport, curling: "I'm still trying to get my grandmother off her old behind and into the Olympics. Why not? She can dust."

On the Enron scandal investigation: "Almost all those politicians took money from Enron, and there they are holding hearings. That's like O.J. Simpson getting in the Rae Carruth jury pool."

"Any time something bad happens to a black person because of racism, I feel it in my soul. I really do. You take the Abner Louima case. That let me know one thing: If some white guys wanted to stick a plunger up a black guy's butt, and I'm the black guy who happened to be around, I'd have a plunger up my butt."

And that's just snippets of a couple of months worth.

THAT was funny!

Which reminds me...
Whatever happened to fake Sinbad?
