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.

When the boat's motor failed to start, those aboard were forced to use paddles to propel themselves down the flooded New Orleans street.

Those Libs ... they always have such great plans

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It would be even better if Jabba the Moore, Hanoi Jane and Mother Sheehan had been onboard.

HEY!! Why isn't Jean Francois Kerry, that oh-so-great swiftboat skipper, helping out with the operations?

Penn had planned to rescue children waylaid by Katrina's flood waters, but apparently forgot to plug a hole in the bottom of the vessel, which began taking water within seconds of its launch.

Blue Staters: they're sooooooooooooo much smarter than we are.

Heh-heh-heh.

Other celebrities joined Sean Penn's entourage and gave him plenty of good advice on seamanship and rescue missions.

MORE - Penn "escorted" by Doug Brinkley

"Actor Sean Penn arrived Sunday at the New Orleans Police Department staging area at Harrah's casino, announcing that he was ready to help in any way he could. Penn, who recently spent time in the New Orleans area while filming "All the King's Men," was being escorted by historian and author Douglas Brinkley."

This is too funny. Has anybody heard any more about the DC bus caravan that got lost on the way to LA?

Sean Penn met with Hassan Khomeini, grandson of the late Ayatollah Khomeini, on his visit to Tehran in June.
