Brinkley, a professor at New Orleans' own Tulane University who accompanied Penn on his voyage through the under-water city, was among the first to denounce the report. "There was never a leak," he said in the Daily News. On Larry King Live, Penn concurred: "The boat never sank."

According to Brinkley, the boat did take on water--because it was "overloaded" with storm survivors. According to Penn, his "entourage" consisted of "a couple of friends." (The actor's camp denied the existence of the "personal photographer.

"Brinkley, a professor at New Orleans' own Tulane University..."

Professor of what, blithering idiocy?

Wait, I saw a picture of him bailing the water out with a plastic cup! And he is right, it wasnt his personal photographer, it was his manicurist..

"I witnessed him rescuing up to 40 people,"

If he rescued no one, it would still be "up to 40 people". I'm curious, if there was no personal photographer, where does the photo of him bailing out the boat come from?

Hey, those are his peeps. Don't dis 'em.

First reports said he had pulled the plug to drain the boat prior to launching it and had forgotten to put it back. This report is the first of its kind and differs greatly from the others. Who are you going to believe, the Hollywood loving media or his peeps? Tough choice.

It didn't look like too many survivors were on that boat to me. I guess the photographer picked a lousy time to start taking pictures if anything this professor says is true.

They had to drag a freaking professor out to say that his boat didn't sink? Do lefties have to resort to professors for EVERYTHING?!?

You know all of this is going to wind up being in Team America 2!

According to Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone mag, who was also on the boat, an evacuee knocked the plug out of the boat. So which is it? Overloaded or kicked out? Wasnt Taiibi also part of a nother bog story not topo long ago? Besides the Sheehan story that is.

Which now demands the question, if you're launching a boat to pick up survivors, why do you already have some? Just in case you didn't find any?

You got the publicity you wanted Senn. Now go back in your spider hole and stay there.

Looked more like Big Sean Penn's Big Fey Boat Ride to me. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

Doug Brinkley is the same guy who wrote John F Kerry's autobiography which introduced us all to the "magic Hat."

His posture sure was interesting.

Ah, where was the article that referred to him as "one of America's best actors"....?


I almost fell out of my chair and hurt myself I laughed so hard.

Why certainly. One must be prepared. You have to have spares. Apparently they had at least forty in this approximately six man boat.

So are you saying that big, liberal Sean passing the buck for his boating troubles onto some poor, impoverished, disenfranchised brother?

A traffic cam? (sarcasm)
