Hey look, he’s learnin’ about Venezuela, having a snack….

John from OPFOR on August 3, 2007 at 4:19 PM

His Daddy was a commie so no surprise here. tree .. nut .. and fall..

Sean makes a good puppet… so does most of the Hollyweed left.

normsrevenge on August 3, 2007 at 4:19 PM

He’s going around touring the ‘axis of evil,’

Birds of a feather, etc.

“That man has opposed the war in Iraq with all his strength, and not only that, he went to Baghdad … and now he comes here. He’s going around touring the ‘axis of evil,”‘ Chavez said with a chuckle.

Couldn’t have said it better myself..

nyrofan on August 3, 2007 at 4:21 PM

But will he buy a house in Venezuela, move his family there, enroll his kids in school. Hell no. What a tool.

Maria Conchita Alonso, I will go see any movie you make and pay twice.

KelliD on August 3, 2007 at 4:23 PM

I wish the putz would just stay there. And invite all his lefty loon friends to come live with him.

Kowboy on August 3, 2007 at 4:24 PM

I wonder how long Penn would last as a Venezuelan citizen speaking out against his president?

KelliD on August 3, 2007 at 4:29 PM

Penn is a tool. What is it about Leftists and money? They all manage to get theirs, don’t they? If they had any integrity, they’d wear hair-shirts and live in caves.

Then he put his pet monkey Spicola back in his cage and poked him in the cheek with a banana.

At least when Jane Fonda was doing this kind of stuff in Vietnam, she had the decency to be a hot babe.

Enrique on August 3, 2007 at 4:35 PM

This worthless puke is an enemy of the Republic. If he wasn’t stupefyingly dumb he might be dangerous.

They’re Capitalists and I would relish the opportunity to call that imbecile one to his face, (because he’d consider that in insult – he’s just that stupid.)

foxforce91 on August 3, 2007 at 4:40 PM

Treason.

CP on August 3, 2007 at 4:52 PM

I was a baby when that was happening. By the time i grew up, she was never a hot babe…

urbancenturion on August 3, 2007 at 5:06 PM

I wonder how many other Spanish Latinos like Maria Conchita Alonso feel about Spicoli?

Kini on August 3, 2007 at 5:17 PM

There. Fixed that for ya’. No need to thank me. Just bein’ neighborly.

CyberCipher on August 3, 2007 at 5:22 PM

What a good pair. One of them can convincingly portray any personality and the other used to be married to Madonna. I could have read what they said, but just don’t care.

TunaTalon on August 3, 2007 at 5:26 PM

…the other used to be married to Madonna. I could have read what they said, but just don’t care.

TunaTalon on August 3, 2007 at 5:26 PM

Good grief, I had forgotten about that. Well. I think I understand now, and will be sure to mingle pity in with revulsion at the sight of Sean Penn.

RushBaby on August 3, 2007 at 5:31 PM

I wonder if Sean asked Hugo if he could spear one of those cool red jackets.

Well, it’s always nicer at the dictator’s house. Perhaps, Sean of Hollywood would get an eyeful of the wonderful effects of Chavezonomics if he went shopping with an average Venezuelan family. The shelves have been bare in most stores since Chavez rolled out his price-fixing scheme.

It is a deliciously evil idea to save all these photos of Sean Penn’s love fest with Hugo. Venezuela is spinning down into catastrophe. One day, when the crater that was Venezuela is still smoking, it will be wonderful to trot these photos out for Penn to explain his support for a commie dictator.

Tantor on August 3, 2007 at 5:32 PM

“Relax all right? My Dad was a commie, He’s got this ultimate set of ideals. I can fix it”

GoodBoy on August 3, 2007 at 5:42 PM

Wonder if Chavez asked how Cindy was doing?

right2bright on August 3, 2007 at 5:45 PM

What a waste it is for Sean Penn to lose his mind. Or for Sean Penn not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.

right2bright on August 3, 2007 at 5:45 PM

Hi there fellow bloggers. My name is Cindy Sheehan. You can just call me Peace Mom if you want. I was born on July 10, 1957, although people tell me that I don’t look my age.

My heroes are Kim Jong Il, Ramsey Clark, Jimmy Carter,
Mahmoud Ahmadinejadin, Sean Penn and Hugo Chavez, in fact I have a big crush on him. Hugo that is, not Sean. Although maybe we could do a threesome someday?

I am very witty and am an expert diplomatic ambassador. I am also a frequent guest at Crawford, TX. Intelligent and multi-talented. Of course. Was there any doubt?

I am in a new relationship and completely in love. His name is Hugo Chavez, maybe you know him? I love attention. I would like to think that I would try almost anything at least once. Naturally, it depends on the situation.

I would like to think that I am open minded, honest, polite, and trustworthy, or at least that I can fool other people into thinking that I am once in a while. And I appreciate the same qualities in others.

Did I mention that I adore my new boyfriend Hugo Chavez? Yes, I LOVE HIM! Because of the long distance involved we have not been able to consummate our relationship yet, but we do have a lot of hot and steamy E-mail sex! I am now divorced and my son whats his name is long gone so I am as free as a bird!

Who I’d like to meet:
…other psyhco bloggers. People who like to peace out. Cool people who live close to Saint Elizabeth’s in Washington D.C., because I understand that is where I will be moved to before long.

MB4 on August 3, 2007 at 5:54 PM

What is it with all these Hollywood A-holes, going around bashing America, when it is this country they owe their livelihood to…? The irony of it kills me.

4shoes on August 3, 2007 at 6:26 PM

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Ann on August 3, 2007 at 6:35 PM

“If the people of the United States, those millions and millions of poor people … if that nation realizes what is truly happening here, there would be a revolution in the United States,” Chavez said, eliciting applause from Penn.

This is the potential instigator of 12 million illegal aliens that are hear in the US. I see this as a continuation of the Shamnesty legislation. Can you imagine the threat of inciting the latino crowd who take to the streets by the hundreds of thousands at a moments notice. Oh yeah definitely in the commie play book. What if the shamnesty bill passed? Chuckie would have had considerable influence over elections here in the US. Talk about dodging a bullet!! Is he still making voting machines to be used in the US? And everbody sang: Seany row your boat ashore hallelooya! Seany Row your boat ashore hallelooo ooo ya! (I know halleluiah)

sonnyspats1 on August 3, 2007 at 6:37 PM

“The world needs ditch diggers, too.”

It looks like the world could use a preparation for colonoscopy now and then.

Thread title said it all to perfection, unarguably.

Thanks Cindy for dropping by, it was quite a shock to find out you blog on HA.

right2bright on August 3, 2007 at 7:00 PM

I was a baby when that was happening. By the time i grew up, she was never a hot babe…

urbancenturion on August 3, 2007 at 5:06 PM

Hanoi Jane was never that hot, even in her prime. Not a great actress either. Her father pulled her through “On Golden Pond.” Never saw Klute, but wasn’t interested.

Now back to the originally scheduled thread………

Mallard T. Drake on August 3, 2007 at 7:12 PM

Penn is dumb enough to not realize he’s a pawn.

If there’s anything I like less than dumb movie plots, it’s dumb movie actors (and actresses).

desertdweller on August 3, 2007 at 7:20 PM

Do we have to let him back in the country?

CrimsonFisted on August 3, 2007 at 7:26 PM

These two are the reasons siblings shouldn’t breed.

madmonkphotog on August 3, 2007 at 7:29 PM

Why does Chavez have time to meet with this tool? Doesn’t he have an entire country to oppress and run into bankruptcy? Freaking leftist slacker.

Laura on August 3, 2007 at 7:32 PM

He’s got to keep his name before the public somehow.

jeanie on August 3, 2007 at 8:53 PM

Little Sean wants desperately to be taken seriously.

Montana on August 3, 2007 at 9:55 PM

I see his “people” said he was traveling as a journalist. Isn’t that Mikey M.’s excuse for going to Cuba too? Must be something catchy.

PowWow on August 3, 2007 at 10:23 PM

I remember Sean Penn saying how much his family suffered during the McCarthy Era in Hollywood. It seems as though his parents had to fire the family maid.

Frank Nitti on August 3, 2007 at 10:31 PM

She was in her early twenties when Klute was made. She was looking ok except for her membership in the itty bitty titty committee.

sonnyspats1 on August 4, 2007 at 2:13 AM

One word on Jane Fonda: Barbarella
That was the only thing in her entire life that was worth paying attention to…. (And that was stupid, lame, and lousy dialog & acting, but the cinematography was decent and she was worth looking at).

Sean Penn though, never even reached that level. Spicoli was the Zenith of his acting career entire life, and I couldn’t stand him even then.

LegendHasIt on August 4, 2007 at 5:16 AM

All the locals who witnessed Sean in New Orleans attempting Katrina “rescues” received something positive, a very good laugh. He set out in a very small aluminum flat bottomed boat designed for three occupants (at most) packed with photographers and videographers. I think that he rescued a few persons who could have walked to a dry area easily.

He probably paid several thousand percent over the value of that boat to some “ignorant redneck” Bush supporter. What a dupe! After all, once you cross the city line our of New Orleans, it is hard to find a non-Bush voter except in small enclaves where votes are typically bought for anywhere from between $20 and $80 “expense money” (payable by check) with a free ride to the polls, and perfectly legal by all election laws.

Kermit on August 4, 2007 at 7:18 AM

I saw this article in 06 and was concerned. I will link to an article posted on FOX NEWS today.

sonnyspats1 on August 4, 2007 at 11:55 AM

He always looks so *happy* every time I see him lately!

I’m not a Doctor but I would recommend a case of Fleet’s for him.

rockbend on August 4, 2007 at 12:04 PM

Never saw Klute, but wasn’t interested.

You didn’t miss much.

aengus on August 4, 2007 at 12:07 PM

Heres a follow up to the possible voting machine compromise.I worked for the Supervisor of Elections during the 04 election in Broward County Florida. Trust me when I say ,as a the Republican observer it became necessary to have the Special Deputy ‘correct’ more than one problem that day. I oversaw the removal of one lawyer from Boston for failing to have the correct documentation and another local lawyer was removed for the same reason. There was also an interpreter of the Hatian language that I observed physicaly casting votes for her clients. The Special Deputy removed her and another Democrat lawyer then red flagged all her days work, of about twenty votes. I found that volunteering to participate in elections to be very satisfying work. I highly recommend it!

sonnyspats1 on August 4, 2007 at 12:17 PM

His politics have ruined his movies for me.

If all conservatives would stop paying to see his movies, he’d feel the pinch.

Ernest on August 4, 2007 at 12:33 PM

Jane Fonda = Sean Penn

byteshredder on August 4, 2007 at 1:35 PM

Finally figured out anotjer reason he’s endorsing Dennis the Menace. I Am Sam 2.
