I hope he stops by the Whitehouse immediately upon his return in order to brief the President on his findings before it is too late.

Sean Penn hasn't appeared in a successful movie in what? 20 years? He had to go the old "play a retard" gambit to try to keep his career alive.

I would like to ask Mr. Ferral one question.
Say we have a guy named Sodam Insane living next to Babs S.. This guy not only gassed his pets, tortured and killed his housekeepers and employeees, and says Babs should die because she is Jewish.
What response to this neighbor would you suggest?
And has anyone check'd your back for a yellow streak?

On a news clip on Fox, it showed Penn visiting fully dressed kids lying on beds, presumably ME hospitalized kids.
But what got me was they weren't in gowns or looked ill, just lying there in street clothes!!!!

I was reported that Clint Eastwood also refused to be associated with the "blame America first" crowd.

I'm sure that Bush will pay extra close attention to any lectures about loving your fellow man and not resorting to violence to solve problems when they come from Sean "I'LL PUNCH YOUR #@*%& TEETH DOWN YOUR F***IN' THROAT IF YOU TAKE MY PICTURE!!!" Penn.

"...the actors believe a pre-emptive military strike on Iraq "will harm American national interests."

What may I ask, was 9/ll/2001, if not a "pre-emptive" strike???
Thanks for the post...
Best wishes and Merry Christmas!
