Chavez very impressed with Spicoli’s “consciousness” after phone chat

I can’t tell from the details if he’s on one of those useful idiot dream getaways or if he’s off on one of his spontaneous fact-finding missions which coincidentally always seem to take him to places where his presence might embarrass Bush instead of, say, to Darfur or North Korea.
Either way, last year “The Daily Show” did a segment in which Stewart referred to Cindy Sheehan “hugging her credibility away” by making kissyfaces with the new Great Red Hope. The left realizes that celebrity photo ops with this turd only hurt them with independents. Penn’s no dummy so he realizes it too.
But he can’t help it. Moth to a flame, baby.
Chavez said Penn traveled to Venezuela this week wanting to learn more about the situation in the country and walked around some of Caracas’ poor barrios on his own.
“Welcome to Venezuela, Mr. Penn. What drives him is consciousness, the search for new paths,” Chavez said Wednesday in a televised speech. “He’s one of the greatest opponents of the Iraq invasion.”…
The socialist president, who shares those views, said he and Penn talked by phone—”with my bad English but we understood each other more or less.”
Chavez said the two plan to meet Thursday. He called the actor “well-informed about what is happening in the United States and the world, in spite of being in Hollywood.”
He’s already made his endorsement for 2008, by the way. There are only two possibilities. Guess.
Update: John from OpFor demands obligatory video. And so obligatory video he shall have.
Update: Is Spicoli just looking to get paid?

How do you say “we can be bogus too” in Spanish?

Too bad Stalin is dead. Sean Penn would be in the ussr stroking him, too.
Celebrity Death Match I would like to see: Penn v. Malkovich.

Commie whores:
Penn
Sheehan
Glover
Who am I missing?

Penn thinks Kucinich can “re-establish the credibility of democracy”? That’s rich, seeing as Kucinich was endorsed by the Communist Party USA in 2004 (as was Kerry, when they realized Kucinich couldn’t win).
CP on August 2, 2007 at 12:43 PM
Commies for Kerry — I loved that website!
Blake on August 2, 2007 at 12:45 PM
Sean Penn made it in Hollywood because ‘tards were in short supply.
What can I say — the big boys chose well.

Some have said the liberalism of Hollywood celebrities is driven by guilt over the vast amounts of money they make. I have a solution – rather than go gushy over dictators because people keep paying you obscene sums for pretending in front of a camera, just give the money to me.
You won’t have the guilt, we won’t have to put up with these ridiculous photo-ops.
Win-win.
Slublog on August 2, 2007 at 12:50 PM
Does Spicoli know the meaning of backhanded compliment?
What a yutz.

kiakjones on August 2, 2007 at 12:55 PM
Sean Penn comes by his love of dictators from his daddy, Leo.
No sense of irony in this boy.
JackStraw on August 2, 2007 at 12:56 PM
dude, no Spicoli vid to go with??
I’ll step up with a personal favorite.
John from OPFOR on August 2, 2007 at 12:57 PM
JammieWearingFool on August 2, 2007 at 12:51 PM
Jammie, I read that quote and thought, “Who’s more out to lunch here?”
So, what’s the plural of yutz anyway?

Schmucks.
JammieWearingFool on August 2, 2007 at 1:16 PM
That’s a good plan, but I think it could be improved if he were to instead give his money to me.
Speaking unselfishly, of course. Just lookin’ out for Sean.
thirteen28 on August 2, 2007 at 1:20 PM
Baldwin might be a leftard, but at least he’s a good actor. And damn funny to boot.
Spicoli is just a worthless hack.
madne0 on August 2, 2007 at 1:22 PM
Goddamn you rule Allah.
John from OPFOR on August 2, 2007 at 1:23 PM
and there’s many things wrong with that sentence I just wrote, I don’t even want to think about it.
John from OPFOR on August 2, 2007 at 1:23 PM
With a face like his… only a bong would love. Maybe he will start filming all his movies in the new studios in Venezuela. He wouldn’t last long in Venezuela. The poverty, corruption and the prospect of loosing your private property to the state – even Spicoli couldn’t handle the thought of his personal bong being part of the community.
Sergei on August 2, 2007 at 1:25 PM
Sean is a second generation communist. His father Leo Penn was a well known communist that was blacklisted in the 50s. Google: Leo Penn. It might explain that his moronic behavior is inherited.

“The socialist president, who shares those views, said he and Penn talked by phone—”with my bad English but we understood each other more or less.”
Usually that requires a gun pointed at the head.
BTW I wish YouTube would figure out the volume thing: I have to crank the volume for YouTube links and then turn it down for everything else.

Chavez said the two plan to meet Thursday. He called the actor “well-informed about what is happening in the United States and the world, in spite of being in Hollywood.”
Of course, Penn’s view of the world is Hollywood and other parts of California. I wonder if his book of the month club is run by Cindy, Nancy, and Harry.
BobK on August 2, 2007 at 1:27 PM
Sean Penn used to be one of my favorite actors, but in the last couple of years, the guy has become something of a national disgrace. I also think the guy is totally clueless on real world events, and this may be in part to the fact that his world view is pretty much based on whoever the screen writer is who wrote the script. He meets with Chavez, it just may come back to haunt him one day.
pilamaye on August 2, 2007 at 1:31 PM
…
Spicoli rescued Cindy Sheehan from drowning…then blew the reward money hiring Harry Belafonte to play at Hugo Chavez’s birthday party.
…
Mr. Hand still thinks everyone is on drugs.
James on August 2, 2007 at 1:31 PM
A decent video. But it’s not my personal favorite from that particular movie …
thirteen28 on August 2, 2007 at 1:36 PM
I still don;t understand how this idiot gets to associate with our enemies and continues to get work. He lost his bud in Iraq and hopefully his new one will be feeling some love soon.
Hening on August 2, 2007 at 1:37 PM
I know Leo Penn loved to claim he was blacklisted but if you check imdb, he never went with out work. And if I had been in a position to hire him back then, why would I? He was an avowed Stalinist. I wouldn’t hire a commie nor a KKK or a pedophile.
Blake on August 2, 2007 at 1:40 PM
Credibility? With Dennis the Menace Kucinich? Is that a Trophy Wife endorsement or short guys with tall wives penis envy?
Kini on August 2, 2007 at 1:51 PM
“Penn’s no dummy….”
I greatly disagree with that. Penn is a blithering idiot! This clown could not “fact find” his way out of a wet paper bag!
Confederate on August 2, 2007 at 2:58 PM
I notice that Chavez does not speak of his girl, Sheehan anymore. Penn is his tool, and Penn is too stupid to know it.
right2bright on August 2, 2007 at 3:35 PM
“All I need is a tasty wave, and a Commie who’s got my back.”
Spicoli should testify before Congress. Trust me, Pelosi will be wide-eyed. ;O)
OhEssYouCowboys on August 2, 2007 at 3:54 PM
It’d be easier to list the non commies.
Actors are mentally and morally on par with carnies
TheSitRep on August 2, 2007 at 4:48 PM
It’s not that she is very hot, she just looks hot next to that troll.
TheSitRep on August 2, 2007 at 4:50 PM
The dude hasn’t made a good movie since he played himself in Fast Times.
tommuck on August 2, 2007 at 6:02 PM
The dude hasn’t made a good movie since he played himself in Fast Times
He’s made a few fair movies since.
“Bad Boys” 1983 “At Close Range” 1986 were both pretty good.
Then the dork started to open his big liberal mouth
and has gone downhill ever since. Riiiiight “Sam I Am “
Texyank on August 2, 2007 at 6:32 PM
I saw Matt Damon on the Actors…? interview program. The host asked him (and I am paraphrasing) what inspired him. He said his work, and working with creative people in his industry. Then he was asked what was uninspiring. He said basically the opposite, uncreative people with no creative thought… like our president. The partisan crowd loved it. I really don’t understand how he could just casually offend 60 million plus people that voted for Pres Bush and not understand there could very well be a price paid for his arrogance. I for one loved him in Good Will Hunting but will not watch his trash again for his comments. I think taking money from their pockets is a great way to speak power to ignorance.
riccangolf on August 2, 2007 at 7:40 PM
This loon should be told to go live in another country, preferably one that he supports like Iran or Hugo’s back yard. He is a traitor to his country and should be exiled.
NEMETI IN SYRACUSE on August 2, 2007 at 8:59 PM
Hmmmm…I wonder, in the name of Socialism, who paid for the phone call?
What did Penn learn when he walked about the poor barrios in Caracas that he could not learn in walking about the poor barrios of America? What I find curious is that Chavez permitted him to see the bad side of his country. It gives his Socialist bowel movement a bad name. Usually, socialist countries HIDE the barrios because it shows that socialism is not working.
Someone correct me if I am wrong here.
The False Dervish on August 2, 2007 at 9:01 PM
For any of y’all that don’t know, you can down load and or stream almost any movie after it has been out for a day.
There is a list of places at ovguide.com
That way the commie turds don’t get your money.
TheSitRep on August 2, 2007 at 10:07 PM
LOL!!
CliffHanger on August 2, 2007 at 11:21 PM
Actors used to have enough life experience to understand who the real enemy is, instinctually.
The ones working to saw your head off.
Not the ones trying to head them off.
Their general multiculti ignorance about Islam (the fact that it is unashamedly misogynistic, homophobic, intolerant, anti-art, anti-freedom of thought, and aiming for a theocratic tyranny) makes them seem like sleepwalkers talking about their dreamworld …and not aware of Danny Pearl’s world or Theo Van Gogh’s world).
Crying about their paranoia about library cards and failing to see Nick Berg become an inanimate object. ( Two inanimate objects, in fact.)
Reviling the imperfections of liberty and then sugar-coating the purulence of despots.
Wake up, Sean.
It’s the Jihad, stupid.
profitsbeard on August 2, 2007 at 11:37 PM
Can we consider it a big win that the word ‘phone’ was mentioned without the additional mention of how much some pundit wants an iphone?
