Why do celebrities like Charles Barkley go and drive drunk?� Why don’t they use some of their oodles of cash and pay a driver to get them home safely?� I think it’s SO annoying and obviously irresponsible.� Come on.� It’s not like they don’t have the means to do the right thing.

Sources at TMZ say:

Charles Barkley was arrested on suspicion of DUI early this morning in Arizona.
Barkley was arrested by the Gilbert Police Department at a DUI checkpoint and had his blood tested on scene by a mobile DUI task force.

He was released later which tells me all his money started talking and he will likely get away with the DUI.

Hey Barkley, you couldn’t wait to start ringing in the New Year?� Wish ya woulda’ waited now, huh?

I wonder if this will affect his chances of winning the election for Governor of Alabama in 2014?
