From NBC's Domenico Montanaro Sean Penn will endorse Kucinich this afternoon at a press conference in San Francisco, a source close to the Hollywood actor said. He will also be speaking on "the Constitution, the media and Dennis Kucinich," the source said. Expect a political speech.

Thanks for the info on Leo Penn!!
I did not know that.
No wonder Sean is a moron.
His brother was cute in Footloose though, RIP.
Which one is squirrelly and which one is nutty?
Scrappleface?
Hey, that pile on Sean’s head looks EXACTLY like that Mexican god monument we have on the square downtown in San Jose, CA..
That too, looks like a steaming pile of dog $hit.
Quick, Scotty! Beam Sean Penn up to Kucinich’s UFO!
$2300 each cycle. So someone could give $2300 in the Primary and another $2300 in the General.
DK is the most honest of the Democratic candidates and one who cannot be accused of flip-flopping. Unlike Hillary and others, he is able to answer questions and does not leave the image of having trouble understanding English. He also would make perhaps the worst president of all of them.
Well, that’s it then. If a politically astute scholar like Pell endorses him, Kucinich is my favorite now.
Penn, that is.
Gnarly dude!
ROFLMHO! Now that is an endorsement certain to upset the balance of this campaign!

“[O]ur cowardly Democratically dominated House and Senate can barely find one voice willing to propose so much as an impeachment. That one voice of a true American,” said the actor. “That one voice of Congressman Dennis Kucinich.”
Penn went on to say that the former Cleveland mayor’s record and vision outweighed “conventional wisdom” about Kucinich’s long-shot chances of winning the presidency.
“I’m torn between the conventional wisdom of what we all keep being told is electability and the idealism that perhaps alone can live up to the challenges of our generation,” said Penn. “Of the Democrats running for President, only Congressman Dennis Kucinich’s candidacy is backed by a voting record of moral courage and a history of service to our country that has fully earned our support and our gratitude.”
Added Penn, “So, here’s the question. We got Iowa coming up, we got New Hampshire right on its ass. Do we sell it for electability? If Hitler were the only candidate, would voting for him be most American?”
Earlier, Penn excoriated the Bush administration for treason, adding that although he wasn’t a proponent of the death penalty, “existing law provides that the likes of Cheney, Bush, Rumsfeld and Rice, if found guilty, could have hoods thrown over their heads, their hands bound, facing a 12-man rifle corps executing death by firing squad.”
The actor also had some harsh words for Kucinich’s frontrunning rival for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY).
“Let’s remind our friends in the social circles of New York and the highbrow winner-friendly and monied major cities that support Mrs. Clinton, that this is not Bill Clinton,” he said, going on to praise the former president. But he warned that the same “personal agendas” that led to what he characterizes as poor policy decisions from the president could rub off on the former first lady.
“Don’t underestimate the damage her poisonous ambition can do to this country,” he said of Sen. Clinton.
“We can’t wait for the benefit of hindsight to service the benefit of Mrs. Clinton’s career.” Penn took another shot at Clinton while speaking about the recent Democratic debate in Las Vegas. “I found the debate infuriating, nearly an argument for fascism with few exceptions, key among them Dennis Kucinich,” he said. “Of course as a strategic politician, Mrs. Clinton pulled out her set of Ginzu knives and dominated once again on ‘centrist’ political strategy.”
Concluded Penn, “So, let’s give the Constitution another read, shall we? And then decide who its greatest defender would be. I suggest that Republicans, Independents, and Democrats alike will find that they know what’s really right in their hearts and minds.”
IN other words;
Today we will have a man blind from birth expounding on the beauty of the Grand Canyon.
But of course.
