A few nights ago, NBA future Hall-of-Famer Charles Barkley appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Like only Sir Charles can do, the current NBA analyst for TNT broke down the GOP, Hannity, Limbaugh, and Beck with simple clarity and truth.
Transcript:
Jay Leno: So what books did you read while you were in there besides Spanish for Dummies?
Charles: Well I read President Obama’s book again. Uh, and I read my Spanish for Dummies book but that’s pretty much it, those two books. Because I’m so happy about the president.
Jay: I thought you read...didn’t you read Rush Limbaugh’s book.
Charles: The book about somebody called him a big fat liar.
Jay: Oh yeah, I read the book.
Charles: I didn’t realize the book was true. But it is true.
Jay: Senator Franken wrote that?
Charles: I like him. Has he won the election yet?
Jay: He won the election.
Charles: I know but he’s still been going to court.
Jay: No, he won. They’re just going to court. Are you a fan...did you used to be a fan of Rush Limbaugh?
Charles: I used to be. Neither party is anything to write home about. But the Republican party went right wing whack nut job on America and screwed up the country. I’m so disappointed in this partisan politics. And I want to call out Rush Limbaugh because he talks about he wants President Obama to fail and things like that...first of all I just think that’s unpatriotic for somebody whose successful. We should want him to succeed. I mean, you look at this country now, we've got all these foreclosures, we've got all these people laid off. We should be behind him 110 percent, hoping he's successful. And I just thought it was unpatriotic and basically B.S. for Rush Limbaugh and that idiot Sean Hannity and Glenn Beck and all those idiots to not root for this guy.
