Actor Sean Penn, in a taped Larry King Live interview aired Thursday night on CNN to promote his new movie, All the King's Men, in which he plays a Huey Long-like character, suggested President Bush may bring fascism to America, charged that Bush has “devastated our democracy,” insisted Donald Rumsfeld and Bush have done “enormous damage” to “this country and mankind” and claimed the war on terrorism is meant to distract from reality.
Clearly referring to President Bush, a smirking Penn recalled: “Well, in 1932 Huey Long said something very interesting. It was, 'Fascism will come to America, but likely under another name, perhaps anti-fascism.'” Later, Penn fulminated about how “party clowns like Don Rumsfeld could be described as, as far as I'm concerned, except for the enormous damage he's done this country and mankind -- and our President -- and saw that they're getting out there and they're beating this drum, to drown out, as they did in 2002, to drown out other -- in that case it was Enron. Now we have another situation, so it's this war on terror, boom, boom, boom. Drown out the reality of what's really happening.” Penn also argued: “No Democrat that doesn't have a plan to get our troops out of Iraq should be voted for.”
Sean Penn Laden..
Hollywood halfwits strike again.
Sweet. Do they think the can actually influence elections with this nuttery?
Keep talking moonbats, keep talking.
Why would Sean Penn say such a thing at this particular point in time? Well, let's just say that Sean is no dummy. His ridiculous comments are designed only to create a stir so people realize he's coming out with a movie that most people won't see and won't make much money. His hope is that people will become familiar with this snoozer of a mvie he's in and see it.
There is no doubt Sean is a brilliant actor. It's only too bad he can't emulate that same type of brilliance when it comes to his real life self.
Whew, Sean Penn is pretty safe from harm then. Since all the damage was done to MANkind, he is pretty far from any real MAN I've known.
eh, make that that he is no no dummie when it comes to trying to promote his movie.
I'd wager Bush has caused less damage to mankind and this country than some of Penn's films. ;)
It must have worked on Sean Penn because he is delusional!
Thanks to some of the things Huey Long said,his political career was cut short.
BrainDead Man Talking.
"All I need is a cool wave, a tasty buzz, some radical left-wing ultra-liberal agenda and I'm find."
"BrainDead Man Talking."
Ha. Very good.
No, let's do say.
Sean Penn is a damned idiot with delusions of grandeur.
He is a legend in his own mind and most likely is the best person he knows.
He's a dummy alright.
A stupid SOB and a POS to boot.
Only in Hollyweird does a gold star for memorizing = a PhD in Poli-Sci.
Lessons in life from a guy who married Madonna.
one big difference between Tom and Sean is that Tom has always taken on likeable characters. Sean seems to always take on bad characters. I could go for the low blow and say the one character that came close to the real Sean was the one he playind in I AM SAM, but I won't stoop to Sean's level.
