"Penn, famous for his work in films such as "Mystic River" and "Dead Man Walking," called Monday's rally great theater with all the elements: large banners praising Watada's courage, anti-war songs, speeches and larger than life-size puppets of President Bush and top administration officials."
Typical actor's reaction. Everything in life is seen as a movie. Penn is an actor, for God's sake; a mere puppet. He's never had a thought that was written down and handed to him to memorize. He's a community college dropout who majored in auto mechanics but he thinks ...no, he FEELS he's wiser than the President and all of his advisors. We should never forget that historically in theatre, "actors" were also called "fools".
