EXCERPTS

"I didn't have commitments, except for way in the future; I had nothing pressing," he told the publication. "I got practical issues … I had just got taken for one half of everything I had in the divorce, so it's not like I don't have to work."

(snip)

"Let's face it," he declared, "I'm a person that feels pretty alienated from the rest of the world and never felt understood by anyone."

"Let's face it," he declared, "I'm a person that feels pretty alienated from the rest of the world and never felt understood by anyone."

I guess getting taken to the cleaners is bad for a weak-minded celebrity's self-esteem. Too effing bad.

“”Let’s face it,” he declared, “I’m a person that feels pretty alienated from the rest of the world and never felt understood by anyone.””
.
Mantra of the American Left. If you read the Constitution instead of the Communist Manifesto you probably would be a different person.

[The Comedian]

The difference between Sean Penn and Spicolli is that Sean Penn is less intelligent and more stoned than his character.

Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Only 4 times? Slacker. I must have tired her out for you. ;-) LOL

"I'm a person that feels pretty alienated from the rest of the world and never felt understood by anyone."

Sean, did you get some of that understanding from Hugo Chavez?

[pieceofthepuzzle]

Yep, I could definitely also do a better job shutting up and listening sometimes. That’s why I really like reading the different opinions here at FR.

I had just got taken for one half of everything I had in the divorce, so it's not like I don't have to work."

So he'll have to keep working, if you can describe what he does as work. But... has he ever been in a commercial hit other than Fast Times at Ridgemont High? And no, Team America doesn't count!

[incredulous joe]

Haw haw ~ stupid, leftist hippie!

"I got practical issues … I had just got taken for one half of everything I had in the divorce, so it's not like I don't have to work."

LOL! Wealth redistribution. Did you give your fail share to the poor, the homeless, the people starving in Africa? Now back to the unionized work camp to pretend you're something other than a socialist POS.

[JaguarXKE]

STFUYMPOS! (Penn, not you).

[Leisler]

An 18 year old from Oakland and a 40 year old SSgt from Debuque in Afghanistan walk the walk, sometimes for years. Penn just writes checks, because in fact, he doesn’t know how to do anything productive. Can’t farm, cattle, build, medical care, teach. Nada.

Saying Penn walks the walk when he jets into a spot, PR staff in tow is insulting to the tens of millions of quiet, productive Americans and everyone else in the world who keep the lights on, water flowing, jets flying and the tens of thousands of occupations.

[Calm_Cool_and_Elected]

Waaaaaa! Go away.

[Venturer]

Bingo.

That was my answer.

Not only is he what you said, he is in a class all by himself.

'Sean Penn’s Girlfriend, Jessica White Slaps Woman Over Taxi'

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Sean Penn’s girlfriend, Sports Illustrated model Jessica White might just be following in the footsteps of Naomi Campbell because she will slap a broad if the need arises. The only difference? There wasn’t a phone involved.

Jessica was arrested in New York City after she allegedly got into a fight with a woman who was trying to hail a cab. Reportedly, a fight ensued when they were both trying to hail the same taxi in the wee hours of the morning.

According to eyewitnesses, Jessica allegedly yanked the woman by her hair and hit her in the face numerous times.

[AD from SpringBay]

Yeah - time for Mr. Penn to grow up and get over his misunderstood victim complex.

[quadrant]

Life imitates art:
Gossip in SF is that Sean has purchased a building in the Castro. He plans to renovate the structure and live there. After establishing residence, he plans to run for a seat on the Board of Supervisors, just as did Harvey Milk.

"I'm a person that feels pretty alienated from the rest of the world and never felt understood by anyone."

Mr. Hand understood you, Spicoli.

[pepperdog]

Great comment! Aren’t Socialists something else? How they squeal when it’s their stuff that’s taken.
