Love him or hate him, I think Charles Barkley is funny as hell. And I love that he's unapologetic when he shoots his mouth off.

Just for kicks, I found a bunch of Charles Barkley's memorable quotes and posted some of them here:

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

After retiring from basketball ... "I'm just what America needs -- another unemployed black man."

"It was so much fun in my day to go to the Boston Garden and they spit at you and throw things at you and talk about your mom. It sounds like dinner at Kenny Smith's house."

"Every time I think about changing a diaper, I run a little bit harder and a little bit faster to make sure I can afford a nanny until my daughter's old enough to take care of that herself."

"I heard Tonya Harding is calling herself the Charles Barkley of figure skating. I was going to sue her for defamation of character, but then I realized I have no character."

On the goal of the 1992 Olympic Dream Team when playing against Panama in the Tournament of the Americas ... "To get the Canal back."

"I can be bought. If they paid me enough, I'd work for the Klan."

When asked whether he graduated from Auburn University ... "No, but I have a couple people working for me who did."

"I don't mind skinny people making fun of me ... we all do that. But I don't want fat people making fun of me."

On North Carolina missing 22 of its last 23 shots in losing a game in the NCAA tournament ... "Stevie Wonder could make one of 23 shots."

"I'd never buy my girl a watch... she's already got a clock over the stove."

"Well, when I went off to college, the guys I used to hang with were pumping gas and voting Democrat. Today they're still pumping gas and voting Democrat. Guess the Democrats didn't do much for them."

After getting into an altercation with a player from Angola in the Olympics ... "Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a couple weeks. I thought he was going to pull a spear on me."

On his political platform when considering a run for the governor's office in Alabama ... "Have you heard of death row? Well, if I'm elected Governor, we'll have death WEEK. I'll kill all of those lazy bastards."

Tell me y'all didn't laugh at almost every one of these, folks. LOL.

Barkley and Rush used to be good pals, not sure what happened.
