CHARLES BARKLEY IS GULLIBLE

... believed that Charles Barkley, like Anchorman's Ron Burgundy, would read anything put on the the teleprompter. Sure enough, while filming a sponsored plug by T-Mobile, Charles spits out "I'm a dumbass" -- likely the truest thing to come out of his mouth in years.

Submitted for your approval: mild-mannered basketball talking person Charles Barkley must get through the intro for a segment on TNT’s basketball coverage. Meanwhile, the impish Ernie Johnson tests the theory that Barkley read anything you put on that screen. Let’s look at the final result, found via FOUL BALLS : Aw man, that’s some good levity. Although it seems that newscasters are finally warming up to that quaint little movie called “Anchorman” lately. Could be just me, but I’ve seen a lot of Ron Burgundy references on the airwaves lately. Trey Wingo dropped a line ...
