Fresh from a three-day "fact-finding" trip to Iraq, actor Sean Penn claims his new acquaintances there are using him as a propaganda tool.

An Iraqi online news service reported yesterday that Penn "has condemned the U.S.-British threats to wage war against Iraq," and that the actor "confirmed that Iraq is completely clear of weapons of mass destruction and the United Nations must adopt a positive stance toward Iraq," the New York Post reported today.

Yeah, right. If Penn is telling the truth, he's got to be really, REALLY stupid. Whic is actually quite plausible, come to think of it.

Perhaps his hosts could test Penn's committment to the pursuit of "justice" and "humanity" by applying his considerable talents to the role of a human shield........

Did Sadam pay for his trip and stay? Just asking.

[cmsgop]

LMAO!!! Go Saddam Go !!!!!!

[Psycho_Bunny]

Am I remembering this correctly: that Penn has hit women?

Why would I care what a man who hits women thinks?

"Hey! Where's that Saddam dude? I wanna party!!!"

NOOOOO say it isn't true. Ol Shiite (head) Sean being used as a useful idiot ... why only a stupid spoiled delusional traitor would go to Badgag and speak against their country.

[Yeti]

He IS stupid.

He thought he would make himself look all smart and political -- like when he "played" a learning disabled guy.

Then he got home and heard what people were saying about him....now his publicist is trying to save him.

[scouse]

Let us not forget that Penn's father was an actor who was blacklisted during the McCarthy era.

Actually Penn's charachter in that movie was retarded which isn't really a streach for Sean.

"AWESOME, TOTALLY AWESOME!"

... a propoganda "tool"

Actually a "Propoganda FOOL"

I thought he was just trying to live out his role in Falcon and the Snowman.

a tool in film, a tool in real life . . . not that he could tell the difference.

What is this stupid man's education level?

[Arpege92]

Penn and The Institute for Public Accuracy succeded in proving that they are truly "clueless". This is funny and I can't wait to see Penn and The Institute for Public Accuracy explain this. We should give these people a more fitting title....."Penn's Institute for Public humiliation" has a nice ring to it. Thank you Iraq!

[motherof 3]

Yes, I would like to know the education level of all the "stars" that signed the letter to President Bush. Including, Clooney who called Bush "dim" today and said our country needs a leader. Why do we have to hear what every actor thinks of every current event?

ROTFLOL!

Actually it was ten times funnier when I heard it read live on Fox News tonight (Wed, Dec 18) at the top of Greta's show at 10PM. The reporter reading this to Greta (can't remember his name) had all he could do to keep a straight face! Penn is such a fool.
