[history]
I know exactly what Sean Penn went through in Iraq. Unfortunately, Sean Penn hasn't a clue.
In the mid-1980s, I was the New York Times correspondent in Ethiopia, covering the Great Famine, the one that inspired Michael Jackson and Lionel Ritchie to write "We Are the World."

One commentator (can't remember who) said that Sean Penn went to Iraq because it was the only country in the world in which he was the only man to have slept with Maddonna

Actually, Sean Penn is a
useless idiot, the Iraqis can keep him.
His acting career peaked halfway through his role as Jef Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Duranty of the New York Times was not "duped." He was a willing accomplice and Stalin apologist.

Sean isn't aging well, is he?

Did he think he'd have more luck finding caches of biological and chemical weapons than has Hans Blix?
This is the only statement I have trouble with in this article. It's not hard to believe anyone would have more luck than Hans Blix.

Do we HAVE to let him back in the country? I think we should just leave him there for a few years, maybe until after the war is over, then let him come back and tell us how things REALLY are in Iraq.

I got to fly in a helicopter with Harry Belafonte and play tennis with one of Michael Jackson's brothers, Jermaine or Marlon, I can't quite recall. Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder were in the same tennis tournament called "Endless Love."

At least, Penn showed more class than McDermott or Bonior, by refusing to attack President Bush, while in Iraq. Which says something about the two Congressmen.

He should have gone to Iraq as Jeff Spicoli. Alec Baldwin could have gone along & updated the role of Mr. Hand.

I watched FOX News reports on Penn and laughed myself silly at him walking the streets taking pictures with his "magic camera", trying to look like some serious reporter who just took shots of the "case-cracker".
I can just see him dropping them off on the LA Times when he gets back...
"GOOD WORK SEAN!!! YOU DID IT!!! You got a picture of a BUILDING!!! And here's one of an Iraqi Guard SMILING BESIDE A MOSQUE!!! YOU DID IT SEAN!!! YOU CRACKED THE CASE!!!"
