Actor and far-left activist Sean Penn said President Bush, Vice President Cheney, SecState Condi Rice, and former DCI George Tenet “should be in jail” for “deceiving the American people” and for the murder of “young men and women from this country and others.” Penn also said the following on last night’s edition of “Real Time” with host Bill Maher:
SEAN PENN: Recently, when President Ford died, there was a lot of revisionist discussion about his pardoning of Richard Nixon. And in most cases, both Democrats and Republicans got on talk shows and said that as it turned out, it turned to be, it was a great unifier for the country. At the time, the country was very divided, chaos.
And, I think it’s really quite the opposite. That when you have a precedent set like that, and you have somebody, George Tenet, acknowledging in his book, that he knew that the Administration was deceiving the American people into a situation that is murdering young men and women from this country and others, that George Tenet and Dick Cheney and Condoleezza Rice and George Bush et al should be in fucking jail.

is bush lying thru blood stained underwear?
lorien1973 on May 5, 2007 at 8:44 PM
Did Sean Penn ever graduate from High School?
Zorro on May 5, 2007 at 8:46 PM
Spiccoli has twisted up to many “fatties”. He needs to go to Tibet or somewhere with Richard Gere and chant for a few years. That’ll make things better, well for US anyway.
commonsensehoosier on May 5, 2007 at 8:48 PM
Spicoli /Penn should be in F*ck*ng Rehab, ASAP
What a Tool
Janos Hunyadi on May 5, 2007 at 8:53 PM
He just hasn’t been right since Madonna kicked him to the curb.
Bradky on May 5, 2007 at 9:03 PM
Wassa mater Sean?…..
The guy couldn’t figure out to put the plug in his own boat in New Orleans. Give him a another spoon, some matches, and a needle, and he would kiss GWs shoes on national TV.
Limerick on May 5, 2007 at 9:05 PM
This coming from a guy who can’t plug a row boat before he puts it in the water…
JetBoy on May 5, 2007 at 9:07 PM
On what charge, Mr. Penn? The fact you don’t like him? Those lovable Liberals, always making up facts and charges to suit their wants. A majority of the country doesn’t even support impeachment of Bush, and Pelosi said she wouldn’t support it. What the hell are the chances of putting him in jail?
Lovely how Penn pretends to give a damn about our troops. Mr. Penn, go back to your “fact finding” tours, undermining the US national security and foreign policy.
amerpundit on May 5, 2007 at 9:08 PM
oops…Looks like Limerick and I were thinking the same thing haha!
JetBoy on May 5, 2007 at 9:08 PM
No problem JetBoy……..funny is Mr Penn!
Limerick on May 5, 2007 at 9:10 PM
What’s with the hooting and clapping of the audience??!
Who are these people??!!
I sent emails to both TimeWarner and HBO: I want Maher’s show off my cable!
I don’t want to pay to subsidize this crap just to see the Sopranos.

techno_barbarian contributed this link on America, how it was, on the “Thought For The Day” thread. I find it very appropriate for this one too. Please view and share the link.
Entelechy on May 5, 2007 at 9:13 PM
- Holy Crap, Larry Sandler looks like Pat Dollard
- Is Sean Penn drunk? No, that’s not a trick question, but just look at him. And listen to how his speech slurrrrrrs all over the place towards the end. Unless that’s him being ‘emotional’
- Audience, once again, disturbs me more than the protagonist
Reaps on May 5, 2007 at 9:16 PM
As far as the audience thing goes………Westworld….I’m telling ya. They are from Westworld (or the Jerry Springer set).
Limerick on May 5, 2007 at 9:21 PM
I love the screencap of him. He looks like a complete drunken idiot. The wife-beater hair style really finishes the look.
As for his comments, I couldn’t care less what he thinks about anything.
thedecider on May 5, 2007 at 9:29 PM
>Did Sean Penn ever graduate from High School?
Yes, Ridgemont High. He had to pass Mr. Hand’s class, which he did, just barely.
Doghouse on May 5, 2007 at 9:33 PM
C’mon, Reaps. What do you think? Spicoli’s been stoned since 1996 or so
Janos Hunyadi on May 5, 2007 at 9:44 PM
Where’s the compassion around here!!??
The man is obviously in alot of pain…..
Tru2my2 on May 5, 2007 at 9:51 PM
Paging Cynthia! Sean is in desperate need for another video fisking! Righthandgirl!
CrimsonFisted on May 5, 2007 at 9:53 PM
Too bad, I do so enjoy his acting most of the time but that is ..well just too bad.
kahall on May 5, 2007 at 9:55 PM
Living proof that having acting skills requires zero intelligence.
infidel4life on May 5, 2007 at 10:07 PM
They just released a study showing what I’ve been saying for years. Smoking pot makes one psychotic. Just think what LSD does. This explains the entire Hollywood nut-job phenomenon. Penn, Clooney, etc. etc. etc. What do you think acting students do with all their extra time? End of story. Period. Poor Mr. Penn. He really needs the men in white jackets to show up, sedate him, and put him in the rubber room for a while….
warriorlawyer on May 5, 2007 at 10:21 PM
It’s Rosie’s audience. But seriously, my favorite moment with the Maher audience was then Chris Hitchens flipped them off.
Sean has always been my moral compass. I don’t know about anyone else. (sarcasm intended)
Glynn on May 5, 2007 at 10:24 PM
Sean Penn: “I’m not a retard, I only played one in a movie. Well, now that I think about it, maybe that was why they cast me in that role.”
Mallard T. Drake on May 5, 2007 at 10:25 PM
Oh please. Anti-pot hysteria is just as looney as Penn’s anti-Bush hysteria.
infidel4life on May 5, 2007 at 10:28 PM
Mercy that boy looks rough around the edges today! Why iiis hhhis vvvoice qqquivering lllike ttthat. Seany rowed the boat ashore halleluia! Seany rowed the boat ashore halleluia!
sonnyspats1 on May 5, 2007 at 10:28 PM
Hysteria? Looney? Me thinks you doth protest too much. I’ve seen more than a handful of former friends go over the edge with drugs. Hope you’re not in that camp.
warriorlawyer on May 5, 2007 at 10:40 PM
Idiot.
NRA4Freedom on May 5, 2007 at 10:58 PM
Yeah look at me – a few years of smoking it (a couple of decades ago) and I’m just as normal as the next guy ;)
Bradky on May 5, 2007 at 10:59 PM
I agree
pabo on May 5, 2007 at 11:02 PM
Over the edge because of pot? Well maybe the edge of the couch to grab the remote or munch some more snackage.
There are drugs that ruin lives (e.g. alcohol), and there is pot. Lumping them all together shows a serious lack of understanding of the subject.
infidel4life on May 5, 2007 at 11:06 PM
I am beginning to suspect that somewhere in “Dude’s” sweetest wet dreams, he prances through the White House in taffeta, silk and gauze. Turning to look in a huge crystal mirror, Ronald the Great’s head suddenly replaces his own.
You will be mine. Oh yes!
You will be mine….
ronsfi on May 5, 2007 at 11:08 PM
Watch Sean get schooled by a 15 year old girl!
wryteacher on May 5, 2007 at 11:25 PM
truly brilliant theoretical refuting of Bush’s war
Defector01 on May 5, 2007 at 11:26 PM
Wow! What a deranged obsessive physcopath this fag lunatic is.
Egfrow on May 5, 2007 at 11:32 PM
Who really gives a rat’s backside what this degenerate moron thinks? This idiot’s IQ is less than the sum of his digits.
rplat on May 5, 2007 at 11:33 PM
Wow. Another Hollywood fantasy land moron talking as if his perspective in any way mirrors most of America’s.
Great.
Metro on May 5, 2007 at 11:36 PM
I was going to watch the clip, but then I remembered that there is almost nothing I care less about than Sean Penn’s opinion. Next to Bill Maher’s, that is…
Privatestock on May 5, 2007 at 11:50 PM
wryteacher:
She’s 15!!!
Oh, I’m going to the special hell. *ahem*
Anyway, I care at least as much what an actor has to say about politics as I do what a plumber does about diagnosing autoimmune disorders.
Merovign on May 5, 2007 at 11:53 PM
That was great and I see a potential conservababe in the making. I read through the comments and it looks like the moonbats found her. Chances are, she could handle them just fine in debate.
Glynn on May 6, 2007 at 12:02 AM
“I’ve been there, and you haven’t!”
“Pundint”
HAHAHAHAHA!
As for the young lady, I want her to marry one of my sons.
Doghouse on May 6, 2007 at 12:33 AM
Don’t you love it when celebrities think they actually have a brain?
drjohn on May 6, 2007 at 12:34 AM
Ah yes, Sean Penn…
he never fails to remind me how much that I miss the freak show that we all got to watch every week when Fox was still airing The X-Files episodes. **sigh** I miss Mulder and Sculley.
Hmmm — but that little 15-year-old gal, she showed some promise, donchathink?
CyberCipher on May 6, 2007 at 12:41 AM
Classic! Sending that one around.
infidel4life on May 6, 2007 at 12:48 AM
I once heard a saying that
“If you are not living on the edge, your taking up too much space”
well He is taking up too much space any way you look at it!and that goes for every last moonbat who clapped
abinitioadinfinitum on May 6, 2007 at 12:58 AM
Sean Penn vs. a 15 year old girl … that’s not a fair fight.
Hey Rosie! Sean needs your help!
Tony737 on May 6, 2007 at 1:00 AM
So, like, Rosie is 15? Mentally? Emotionally?
Hmmm. I would have guessed more like a 2-year-old that was really late learning how to be potty trained.
CyberCipher on May 6, 2007 at 1:42 AM
Tony says Rosie, Tim, Susan and Sean should be in a f***ing mental institution.
Does it matter what I say anymore than it matters what Sean Penn says? Will either happen because we said it? No, so who gives a rat’s patootie what Sean says? Mr. Penn, shut up and act … on second thought, just shut up.
“But, but, I’ve been to Iraq!”
Tony737 on May 6, 2007 at 1:50 AM
Sean Penn – Film Actors Guild
HAHAHAHAAAAAaaaaa!!!
Tony737 on May 6, 2007 at 1:51 AM
Of course, there’s Barbara Streisand too, and Jane Fonda, and the list goes on and on…
Hmmm. That gives me an idea. You know those contests where everybody tries to guess how many jellybeans are in the glass jar. We could do a contest where everyone tries to guess how many crazies there are in Hollywood. Of course, first, we’d have to compile an official list of crazies.
CyberCipher on May 6, 2007 at 1:59 AM
That traitorous little punk-biatch should be f***ing jail for kicking the crap out of all those paparazzi in the 80’s!
Teddy on May 6, 2007 at 2:24 AM
Thanks for the love, Ian….
MsUnderestimated on May 6, 2007 at 2:47 AM
Spicoli went to Iraq before the invasion giving Saddam aid and comfort. Spicoli ought to be on death row awaiting execution for treason.
I look forward to reading the obit of this POS, after his coming drug overdose.
PS – his fisking by a 15 year old girl is classic.
georgej on May 6, 2007 at 3:44 AM
Sean Penn… you sir are a LIAR.
msipes on May 6, 2007 at 4:12 AM
…but rappers who drink and drive should not be in f***ing jail.
Jim Treacher on May 6, 2007 at 6:49 AM
Mr Penn, YOU should be in F*#king jail!
Viper1 on May 6, 2007 at 7:34 AM
I have to say CONGRATULATIONS!
True this Sean Penn fellow swore on TV, but for too long America’s winos and hobos have been ostracized from mainstream society.
I think it’s nice that a TV program has invited a jobless, alcoholic tramp into the studio to give his opinion.
We may not agree with it. We may be offended by his words, but the main thing is, an outcast from civilized society is being heard.
Bravo!
uptight on May 6, 2007 at 7:39 AM
Sean Penn
says Bush, Cheney, Rice, Tenet“should be in f***ingjailRehab.Lawrence on May 6, 2007 at 7:40 AM
If Sean Penn’s brains were dynamite, he couldn’t blow his f***ing nose.
FishFearMe on May 6, 2007 at 8:17 AM
Now that was funny!
Neocon Peg on May 6, 2007 at 11:01 AM
Sean Penn is such a pathetic joke and the punchline is that he thinks that his opinion is relevant.
JayHaw Phrenzie on May 6, 2007 at 11:11 AM
This dude is a wife-beating, wife-cheating pinko commie.
It is all about Eve, Jim Treacher. Can’t have the mistress locked up, gotta take off the edge of all that righteous anger.
Stormy70 on May 6, 2007 at 11:36 AM
I have avoided this topic because it is obvious what would be said, but my curiosity got the best of me and I’m glad it did.
THAT was funny as #ell!
csdeven on May 6, 2007 at 11:49 AM
Who’s Sean Penn dating these days, Mr. Hand?
fogw on May 6, 2007 at 11:52 AM
Sean Penn and Bill Maher are beginning to look like they were separated at birth.
DoctorDentons on May 6, 2007 at 12:10 PM
Best one liner goes to … (the envelope, please) … FOGW!
Tony737 on May 6, 2007 at 12:27 PM
5 more episodes of The Sopranos and I cut the HBO cord.
oakpack on May 6, 2007 at 2:38 PM
Sean Penn has really gone downhill, and I thought he was already as far gone as he would get. He looks like hell and he’s just plain loco. Or, maybe he’s just in character for a Nick Nolte biography movie he has the lead in…?
I guess a lifetime of drugs and alcohol abuse rotting you and your brain from the inside out can do that to a person.
SilverStar830 on May 6, 2007 at 3:03 PM
LOL!!!
Glynn on May 6, 2007 at 3:40 PM
The Bush Hate-A-Thon continues on the Maher show.
I wonder, if the Dems take the WH, exactly what the hell these guys are gonna whine about for 4 years?
Malpaso on May 6, 2007 at 7:38 PM
This guy is truly a threat! Off the charts whacko who has been drinking his own wiskey for many years. A grade C movie actor who wants to lead the country. Think about it!!!
NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on May 6, 2007 at 8:09 PM
The absolute gall that this jerk-off has, to think that anyone, anyone, wants to hear what we has to say about anything, can only be equaled by the Bab’s blog. Somebody should shut the lights out or better yet shut off the power
Mr. Cartoon face, Maher and this guy are a perfect match. The absolute gall that this jerk-off thinks that anyone, anyone, would want to hear what his position is on anything is appaling. The only thing that I can think of that can top it is the Bab’s blog. Both over and out!!!
NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on May 6, 2007 at 8:15 PM
This man possesses a rare combination of bad traits. He is stupid, ugly, nasty, and won’t shut up.
Jaibones on May 6, 2007 at 9:27 PM
How big a star is Sean Penn, anyway?
Not very. Check out his box office receipts – nothing he’s ever made has broken $100 million domestically. There is a large number of arguable flops on that list.
Actor? Yes. Star? No.
Asshat? You betcha.
Mibrilane on May 6, 2007 at 11:34 PM
The guy’s a parody. And what’s with the permanent pained expression? “Oh, the suffering I’ve seen …” Blah …. Suffer this.
Drum on May 7, 2007 at 12:11 AM
Well not Rice.
honora on May 7, 2007 at 8:45 AM
So this is the way we evaluate actors? Guess that puts Tom Cruise on top of the heap. Penn is a maniac; does not negate the fact he is a fabulous actor–Dead Man Walking performance riveting.
honora on May 7, 2007 at 8:48 AM
Let’s see, a failed actor (penn), a failed comedian (maher), another failed comedian (shandling), and a failed politician, they really have all the answers. And I don’t care how good anyone thinks penn is as an actor, he hasn’t been in a big movie in 20 years. As for the audience, they are trained monkeys, who just wait for anyone to stop talking so they can wildly applause. I tried to watch this, but it was just painful watching 4 underseving idiots who,ve gotten rich in this country, just sit there and relentlessly bash it.
bmac on May 7, 2007 at 3:50 PM
If ignorance is bliss, this mansy must be in nirvana.
Probably has a mental issue….
