18. Hell yes Charlie! Screw all the self-righteous bastards on this thread. They probably beat their wives and rape their daughters in a drunken stooper after good hard 3 hour Jesus enema served up by Pastor Haggard and his paramour down at their local Mega-church. I don't care if you kill a whole family on their way home from Bible study while your hunting for head--hell do it behind the wheel of a domestic and you would be a real role model! GM is tanking, the banks are belly up, and my state just raised its income tax to 8 percent; I have bigger things to worry about than Charlie getting right with God. Besides, he was just trying to stimulate the economy--among other things.

19. This "jail" should be reformed. It reminds me of what I've read about civil war prison camps. The idea that anyone can get away with exposing even prisoners to the Arizona heat {which is most of the year}, is not humane and should not be allowed. I'm really stunned that it's going on. What about human rights in general ? OK, if you screw up you do jail time, but 120 in the shade with just some dumb-ass fan blowing the hot air around is not alright. What's next ? A tent city in deep snow in some upstate area ? What's the difference, ? Extreme temperatures either way are inhumane treatment.

20. I actually like this dude. He is incredibly witty on TV and seems very sharp.
Three days? Well, this too shall pass.

21. Hey Charles, Cheers to you for doing the time when doing the crime. I still think you are a role model because you're doing the right thing, taking your medicine! You didn't hire Robert Shapiro and punk out of your sentence and at least I know you could have. I think it's great that you're there for your time and everyone can see. I will show my 8 year old boy who you are, ya, you made the messed up mistake of drinking and driving, but you publicly in jail says ALOT. take it easy, charles, always will support you because of this.

23. So let's see, holding a press conference, shaking hands and posing for pictures? So is this jail or the red carpet? I really doubt he's giving his DUI much thought and/or that he's learned from it. Shame of the the sheriff who enjoys bragging about what a tight ship he runs. I wonder who's enjoy the spotlight more, Charles or the sheriff who seems to happily be standing by his man so to speak. it seems the the sheriff is willing to bend the rules depending on how famous you are. Frankly the whole thing is in pretty bad taste and isn't sending a good message at all. Like what, for the couple of days Charles is going to be there, he can't go sit in his tent? Isn't that the point? Why isn't he handcuffed? Where's his jail garb? You know you're on your way down when you're having to hold news conferences from jail? What was the breaking story that it couldn't wait until your time is over? Just goes to show no matter how much money you have, alcohol still has the same affect on you and it still can't buy you any brains or worse yet any class. These two are hardly example setters.

24. This Joe Arpaio should be in Jail. He is the most corrupt warden in the USA. There are many instances of his corruption on line. Joe u should be in jail . What is going on here demonstrates the corruption of American society. A decaying society. This is sad.

25. Arpaio is a fame whore and an insult to hardworking law enforcement men and women across this country.

26. "Dont do the crime.. if you cant do the time" What a joke!
I personally think Charles is a great guy.. but what a joke to the criminal justice system!

27. was charles driving down a one way street?

28. and so it is...a couple days in the pokie...

Posted at 11:51PM on Mar 8th 2009 by and your point....

29. Is it just me or is there something wrong with Charles only apologizing for the DUI? Shouldn't he be apologizing for being a married man and seeking a b--- job from a prostitute?

30. Sheriff Joe is an ASS, but Charles is only sorry because he got caught. He isn't even aplogizing for the fact that he is seeking hookers and cheating on his wife. Great role model for your daughter Chuck!
