Tehran, 10 June (AKI) - The Hollywood actor Sean Penn is in the Iranian capital, Tehran, in his new role as a journalist for the San Francisco Chronicle. The actor, who won an Oscar for the film "Mystic River", is in the country to follow the June 17 presidential elections for the American daily. Together with an interpreter, the actor was at a Tehran mosque on Friday morning, where he heard the Ayatollah Ahmad Janna ask the faithful to turn out in large numbers to vote in the elections scheduled for next Friday, to "make America angry."
Many journalists have been denied the necessary accreditation from the Iranian authorities to cover the elections.
In previous years, before and after the US-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003, Penn travelled twice to the Iraqi capital Baghdad, where he denounced both the war and the Bush administration.
I would rather have Sean Penn in town as a journalist than as an actor.
They can have him.
Good. Stay there. You'll love it they all think like you: Death to America.
BWWWAAAHHHHH!!!!!
I guess my cat could qualify as a "journalist!"
Any way we can force Iran to keep him?
Should be very interesting to see which side he takes.
Can't wait to hear how "free" the elections in Iran are!
Just like the Cuban elections..."True Democracy," so says the Left.
Look out Stephanpolous! They may have found your replacement.
So how does he have more credentials than Jeff Gannon?
Maybe he can get a full time job with the Iran Daily and we won't have to see him anymore.
Sean Penn.....SHOOT HIM!!!!
(ps... went to an aviation museum last weekend - they had an F14 on site... ALREADY!!! - sad.....)
hehe...Sean Penn (F.A.G.)
Sounds like a good enough reason to start flattening the place.
"Should be very interesting to see which side he takes."
Doesn't matter - as long as it's not America's side...

No, their government hates us, they'll send him back - and alive.
LOL, I beat you by 0.02 seconds.
Hey, Dude! Let's slander the USA!
