Leftist Penn Effort Sinks
Conservative Trailhead ^ | 09/05/2005 | Henry Ortuno

Sometimes the arrogance and idiocy of the pampered Hollywood elites comes shining through like a stage light at a comedy club.

Sean Penn's purely symbolic effort to save stranded children in flooded New Orleans failed when his boat sprung a leak immediately after launch.

Read the following from the Herald Sun:

The actor, known for his political activism, was seen wearing what appeared to be a white flak jacket and frantically bailing water out of the sinking vessel with a red plastic cup.

Asked what he had hoped to achieve in the waterlogged city, the actor replied: "Whatever I can do to help."

With the boat loaded with members of Penn's entourage, including a personal photographer, one bystander taunted the actor: "How are you going to get any people in that thing?"

Folks, you can't make this stuff up, no one would believe it!

Hopefully Penn will now understand the value of "putting a plug in it".

Why didn't the moron just donate money to the Red Cross? He is creating more problems than what little help he does is worth. Does anybody know what eventually happened? Did other rescuers have to divert their boats to save that ship of fools? It's just unbelievable, but at least it might keep other untrained idiots from rushing down there and getting in the way.

Penn has to be a comedian. He takes out an outboard aluminum bass boat with a tiller and doesn't notice the drain plug is missing? He then has 3 men and equipment in the boat and expects to go out and rescue people? What a putz. It has to be a 5 person max boat without all the extra photo op equipment. I guess he thought he could just put a rope around a person and pull them behind the boat to shore? Too bad he didn't take Michael Moore along, we would see the boat sinking faster.

I wonder if he beats his new wife like he beat his old wife (Madonna)?
