Sean Penn Says War in Iraq Is Avoidable

Maybe, if he runs the right direction when it starts.

So Secretary of State Penn is going to give his report to President Sheen about the situation in Iraq. This ought to be interesting what an actor says about serious policy after three joints and hit on the ole' crack pipe.

It was the coke that made Sean deal with the Rooskies when he was in the movie The Falcon and the Snowman; since he and Martin Sheen fantasize they are real life versions of the people they pretend to be, he was probably working a real deal and wasn't searched coming back because he had a make-believe diplomatic passport. I hope the classified US Govt documents he gave Saddam came out of cancelled movie's props and not from some out of work ex-Clinton staffer.

NOT TO WORRY!

Sean Penn will advise our government.
Why did I not think to call him.
We will all feel so SAFE now.

You all should realize that Back When, the opinion of a Rich Man was respected, because he had actually done something extraordinary to earn that wealth.

Movies, and movie actors, are an anomaly. The Old Studio Owners made SO much money, with the first mass communication technology, that to pay the muggers and faces that would play "pretend" for the camera the $5/week they were actually worth was sort of mean. Even 1% of what a movie actually returned was 10 times what a stage actor could earn in a lifetime. Suddenly you have all these instant millionaires, who actually have a room temperature I.Q.

Ask yourself, the next time one of these "Rich Liberal Celebrity Spokesmen" climbs a tree or drives an electric car, or goes to Baghdad, what has he actually done to earn any respect, or to prove he is anything more than an 'actor', with all the Victorian contempt for the trade that word has?

The media believes Sean Penn's views on Iraq are newsworthy? Who are we going to here from next, Britney Spears? Madonna?

[rockfish59]

The liberal clown sure likes to play at war, doesn't he?

Lamb Chop, Garfield Goose, and Barney.

OHHHHHHHHHHH GNARLY!!!!!!!

[Texbob]

What are Penn's qualifications to be a adviser on foreign affairs? Screwing hollywood actresses?

[BossLady]

On a teeny tiny positive note......at least he got off his azz and actually went to Iraq instead of signing a petition from the comfort of his ivory tower in Malibu....

[hellinahandcart]

Penn's visit was organized by the Institute of Public Accuracy, a U.S. group of policy analystsLEFTISTS AND TERRORIST SYMPATHIZERS.

I wish they'd get this stuff right...

"Ambassador", political scientist, foreign policy expert Sean Penn - Nah!

Airheads have been around Hollywood for a long time way before your time or mine. Hollywood was full of Commies and anti Americans back in the 30's and for a while even preached against the US getting involved in WWII...You now Stalin and Hitler were all buddy buddy so how on earth could the US go to war against Germany...

[Daryl L.Hunter]

We could have avoided war in 1941 in Europe and Japan also but it is a good thing we didn't.

and i say sean penn is avoidable.

Yes it is. Avoid risky sex and if that does not work get treated with the proper antibiotic.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Well, thats it then. Penn said it, so I believe it. how could I have been so stupid as to trust the judgment of national leaders with access to military and intel info when I can just trust the judgment of Sean Penn.

I mean, since he is an actor, he's so much smarter than us peons, right?
