Hard to imagine the voters of Alabama overlooking this sort of thing, though. I cannot remember if I posted it here, but Barkley was interviewed a year or two back in "Playboy", and he made some startling admissions about his reckless gambling (including the fact that he had sustained six figure losses in a single night at least once!). Once again, that could be a plus in a state like Louisiana, but I would bet it counts against you in Alabama. I still like that line about the spear, and also the one about wishing he had been on a higher floor when he threw that guy out a window.
