Sean Penn endorsed Dennis Kucinich for President, after tipping off news agencies of a major political announcement earlier this week. While his choice of candidate may not suprise many, it should have surprised John Edwards. After all, Penn had already given him twice as many greenback endorsements as Kucinich (via the Political Machine):
Academy Award-winning actor Sean Penn endorsed Dennis Kucinich for president in San Francisco Friday.
Penn made what had been billed as a "major political statement" at San Francisco State University.
Andy Juniewicz, National Press Secretary and senior advisor to Kucinich told NBC11 that Penn made the endorsement at an open-to-the-public event sponsored by The San Francisco State College Democrats.
The NBC report includes a slideshow entitled "The Many Faces of Sean Penn". Well, perhaps we can at least say two-faced. FEC records show that Penn had donated $4,600 to John Edwards -- two days after donating $2,300 to Kucinich. Perhaps Penn evened it up in the fourth quarter, but it seems like Penn hasn't exactly put his money where his mouth is.
Sean Penn is indisputably a fine actor, but he's also a political albatross. Anyone who pals around with Hugo Chavez should generate considerable skepticism. When the same man already has a track record of defending Saddam Hussein's brutal regime, he becomes a major liability on the campaign trail. Kucinich won't mind -- right now, he has nowhere to go but up -- but Team Edwards must be breathing a sigh of relief.
Perfect, just perfect.
A nut endorsing a fruitcake, a marriage made in tin foil heaven.
Is this something we’re supposed to care about?
WGAF!!!!!!!!!!! A DORK ENDORSING A DORK!
How did he donate twice the legal limit to Edwards?
Death knell if any few remaining reasonable people were still looking at this guy. Look for 50% drop in poll.
“Penn made what had been billed as a “major political statement” at San Francisco State University.”
ROFLMAO!!!
Where else but San Francisco would Sean Penn have made a “major political statement” or the ramblings of this lunatic be consider “major”.
Geez, you just can’t make this stuff up can you? A million monkeys or chimps at keyboards couldn’t do this in a million years.
Hollyweird, Hollow Wood where ego and narcissism know no bounds.
You go Sean baby!
Can we get him to endorse Ron Paul too?
What’s really funny is that before the announcement, the Kucinich folks were already disavowing having anything to do with this announcement.
You know you’re off the deep end when Kucinich thinks you’re too nuts.
Want a drink with that?
Is this the ‘I brought my film crew with me to save lives’ Sean Penn? Has anyone seen him and John Kerry in the same room at the same time?
Has Sean Penn ever done or uttered anything that was “major”?
Love that picture! I’m wondering if Dennis will go off the deep end *completely* when he learns that his bride was just after a Green Card....and half of his Congressional pension.
A fine actor? Is Ed giving us a tongue-in-cheek on this one?
The ugly little dweeb in “Fast times at Ridgemont High” is a good actor? He recently tried to play Huey P. Long and came out looking more like Wally Cox of Mr.Peepers fame.
He's still method acting the Spicoli role.
What a gas bag.
I like this part of the nbc article:
“After Hurricane Katrina, Penn traveled to New Orleans where he helped provide aid to victims.”
Ok? So did 1000’s of others... and without their film crew!
An intellectual pygmy endorsing a physical pygmy!
