It's really a resume enhancement expense. By coming out with the usual Liberal anti-war screed, he's saying he "cares". He cares "so much", "that he put up his own money for this", "he thinks this is so important".

That way, the Hollywood powers that be, Left-leaning all, will be impressed.

New movie offers are to be expected.

And maybe he can write off the expense of his article as job related.

Or, maybe if he gets "political" enough, he can run for office: say Mayor of Santa Monica.

This from a guy who used to tie his wife (Madonna) to a chair and whip her with electrical cords, huh? What a man.

RE: That photo:

"Look at me! I'm disheveled and unshaven, smoking a fag. I star in movies nobody watches. I brood, mumble, and have a violent temper. Therefore, I am superior to all."

Well-translated!

(re:pennworm's letter)Spoken like a true commie.

I'd like to bash Penn...see what he's got.

[Destro]

why do we need to have this as breaking news? or even talk about it?

[lowbridge]

I double dare Penn to go to Iraq today and make these kind of statements in front of the now liberated Iraqi people.

Lets see him justify his position to all of those political prisoners that we set free. The tortured, the relatives of the murder victims of saddam, etc.

I didn't bother to read it.

"Would someone explain Penn's importance in the world of foreign affairs."

He produces and peddles trash to a large number of susceptible people. People that feel stuff, because they're too lazy to think.

I curious: has Mr. Pennhead shed any tears for the three Cuban dissidents who were executed without a trial?

[opus86]

Oh, well, if Sean Penn says the war was wrong, then it must be wrong. Bush, Powell, Rumsfeld - they're all idiots. No sir, it's Sean Penn I believe.

Were it not for a rich papa, would this clown not be begging your quarters on the street corner?

Go do some of your so-called ACTING, Sean Punchface, or I'll publish a 4-word response letter to your measly 4,000-word (probably drug induced) rant.
