Party Clown

Sean Penn fails to dazzle us with his philosophical brilliance, quoting from radical Louisiana populist Huey "Kingfish" Long in a taped Larry King Live interview noted by Brent Baker at Newsbusters.

It's amusing to me that Penn chooses to call several Administration officials "party clowns."

Glass houses, buddy.

Here's Penn wearing fake body armor, or rather, what appears to be an empty (and therefore useless) body armor carrier, in an apparent effort to look "movie tough" in his much documented (he brought along a cameraman and a Rolling Stone reporter) and nearly disastrous rescue attempt after Hurricane Katrina.

If you remember the story, Penn is bailing with that red cup because they almost sank the boat on launch. The near-sinking was captured because Penn had several photographers along with him other than the one on the boat. It's all about the photo op.

When it comes to clowns, Penn clearly knows the role.

1 I wonder if Penn knows that Huey's main platform to fund his social programs was "share the wealth". Under his proposed scheme, people could keep their wealth to a point, then it went back to the government. I think the allowed limit was $5 million. Adjusting for inflation, Penn would be forking over some money and really have to work.

Also, I wish that Penn would take a close look at th social programs in Louisiana that Huey started and are still going. They are nothing but siphons for our money to go into the pockets of the politicians.

I notice from recent post that the troll you picked up is not around. Has he left??

2 What a colossal boob. I love how election season brings out the bright bulbs of Hollywood, declaring the focus on terrorism is taking away from issues like Enron. He is just a commie pinko. Someone to point to and laugh. I can't wait to vote.

4 For a guy with only a high school education, he's quite the "expert" on international and millitary affairs isn't he.

I guess Spicolli graduated from Ridgemont High ;->

5 You idiots are unbelievable, wasn't St Ronnie a B-rated movie star, yet he's such an icon to the republican party? Clearly you dumbasses can't seem to get it past your thick cranium that Sean Penn is doing far in educating the American people on the object failure of bush's adminstration. Nope didn't expect you to understand that, afterall what can a movie star teaches anyone. bush went to Yale, and the bigger question is he any better in rationally discussing international affairs?

BTW dumbasses calling people "pinko" or "communist" is pretty lame, it simply shows that you are still a pathetic wanker with your head up your ass.

10 wasn't St Ronnie a B-rated movie star

At least RR managed to get a college degree in econ and sociology...something Sean Penn never managed.

Do you have a college degree?

11 What is an object failure?
He is a communist. His dad was a communist.
Reagan beat communists.
I used simple sentences for you.

12 Uhm,did Abraham Lincoln have a university degree?

David, don't me blame for having a psychotic torturer in your family, too much in-breeding may be the most obvious cause.
