Sean Penn: Ted Cruz and Other Tea Partiers in Congress Need To Be Committed By Executive Order By Noel Sheppard Created 10/29/2013 - 11:11am
Actor and activist Sean Penn said Monday that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tx.) and other Tea Partiers in Congress need to be committed by executive order.
Such was said to a laughing Piers Morgan on the CNN program bearing his name (video follows with transcript and commentary):
SEAN PENN: It is funny, because what you were talking about before we went to the break, you know, I, I was in Port-au-Prince when the shutdown happened. And, and I said to people -- they need, I had stuff that it was demanding on me in Port-au-Prince but I, I had to come home. I said, "Listen I, I have to leave Haiti now because I have to travel to the third world county that I come from."
PIERS MORGAN, HOST: [Laughs]
You have been, you know, this I think, you know, on the forefront of this gun thing. All of these things, and this is also where you get people who think these things.
I think for let's, let's go to the Tea Party influence on Congress on this thing. I think they have, there's a mental health problem in Congress. This would be solved by committing them by executive order, I think, because these our American brothers and sisters. We shouldn't be criticizing them, attacking them. We should take their -- this is a cry for help.
PIERS MORGAN, HOST: You literally commit what ...
PENN: I think ...
MORGAN: ... people like Ted Cruz?
PENN: He's, he's my American brother. I want, we think, we should take care of him. He's in trouble.
MORGAN: [Laughs] Well, actually have him committed.
PENN: Yeah, I thinks it's a good idea.
MORGAN: [Laughs]
PENN: [Laughs] But then you look at, you know, the, look, there's a lot of reason to take a shot at me and I'm giving people a lot reason to over the years. But the thing you're talking about and, and the way people's perception of political positions are, is a direct reaction to their lack of, of their education which is a huge problem that we're dealing with in the country. And between an uneducated people and the solipsism of the people like Ted Cruz and their party, it's a poisonous thing.
So Penn thinks education or the lack thereof is a problem in this country. For a change, I totally agree with him. So let's compare his education to Cruz's.
Cruz graduated cum laude from Princeton. He later attended Harvard Law School where he was a John M. Olin Fellow in Law and Economics, a primary editor of the Harvard Law Review, an executive editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, and a founding editor of the Harvard Latino Law Review.
Harvard professor Alan Dershowitz recently told Morgan that Cruz was amongst the brightest students he's ever had.
Let's compare that to Penn who according to Hello magazine "dropp[ed] out of Santa Monica College where he had enrolled to study auto mechanics."
As such, given the regular, nonsensical rantings by Penn, I quite agree that his lack of education is a serious problem.
As for other Tea Party members, Penn should take a gander at a recent study finding them more scientifically literate than most in our population.
Alas, since I'm not sure Penn can read or at the very least comprehend what he reads, such might be an exercise in futility.

“Test balloon.”
Agreed, 100%.
I give all the props in the world to Sean as a great humanitarian and fiercely intelligent actor, but as a human being he is extremely manipulative, abusive and even by his own admission a terrible person in almost every respect. Maybe this is a case crying out for a smart woman of his own age but it took the last wife Robin accumulating twenty years of “the lies, the cheating rumors and the temper tantrums” to finally work up the courage to leave. Anyone that gets reinvolved at this point with a a whiny bitch who says has never been loved she deserves every bit of turbulence and pound of flesh coming her way.
I thought that this guy had overdosed and was taking a dirt nap.
I believe Sean Penn is an abortion that lived. The salt water damaged his brain.
There’s something about his face that pisses me off.
He’s right. We need to be committed to fighting the multimillionaire ‘Limousine Marxists’ who wage war on our Constitution.
Since his late childhood, Penn has not uttered one sentence that was worth listening to, let alone recording for posterity.
“Whew” is right. Bless his heart. That boy ain’t right in the head.
Penn is a good Nazi, born out of sinc with time.
His Dad was a big-time Commie.
LOL. I posted that same picture on the earlier thread. Reply 50 on this thread.

Sean Penn Laden should defenestrate himself, taking Piers The Wanker with him!
And the man who put M in the hospital on more than one occasion is still the love of her life. She not being the only one. I seriously don’t know what is wrong with these women.
Sean Penn did a jaw droppingly convincing portrayal of a filthy,white trash, rapist and murderer a few years back but a much less convincing performance of being repentant for those filthy crimes.Talent? Or something far more sinister?
Sean Penn is a man born out of place and out of time.
He would've been perfectly at home in Moscow in the thirties.
Try it sean... come and just try it punk. You will face real men and fast justice. Just try it commie!
