I thought Sean Penn was in Iran???
He does make some good movies.
More style over substance:

A great picture like that deserves a headline. Here are some suggestions:

Hollywood Actor’s Relief Effort Restores Humor, Bonhomie to the Big Easy
Drowning “I Am Sam” Actor Saved, Airlifted Back to Beverly Hills after Own Rescue Boat Sinks

Hey raymondo mission accomplished you’re irrelevant.
Hey cashman, looks like Bush is irrelevant.
Hahahahaha... oh my god, this is so funny.
Here's another headline:
"Assholes with nothing better to do than sit around at their computers make fun of someone willing to get up off of his ass and go help people using his own personal resources."
Oh, man that one kills me.
And people call me a cynical asshole.
Such language...you're right...I mean who are we to laugh? Everyone brings along their personal photographer to document their charitable deeds, don't they?
Just make sure you get my good side when I put my check in the collection plate at church.
You’re correct matthew rockel we should give him credit. After all he’s giving aid and comfort to Americans instead of the enemy these days.
If you don't like the language, delete it. I could care less. Because I sure as hell ain't gonna use any less of it while people like you guys sit back and shit on someone helping out simply because he brought a fucking cameraman along. And what if he didn't? Huh? Seriously... what if he left the camera at home? Then it would be a publicity stunt, right? Because everybody down there has video cameras for news coverage... "he just wanted to get his face in the news."
Let's clear one thing up:
PEOPLE ARE FUCKING DYING DOWN THERE.
Dying. Not uncomfortable. Not thirsty. Dying. You know, like those fetus things.
"Penn said he had spent nine hours on Monday searching the water for people."
I mean, God Damn! Nine Hours! Is that all that asshole could spare from his "busy" day. It's not like he has a real job or anything. Fuck him.
Cashman: good jab. Nicely played. When all else fails bring out the "He's not a real American because a real American would set aside his brains and feelings and just follow the President no matter what the fuck happens" card. Samuel Johnson would be proud.
Matthew,
I will not delete your previous comment as I enjoy your reading your thoughts here. I will ask that you respect the decorum I've tried to establish, though. Based upon your prior comments, I believe you can do this.
Unfortunately for Penn, his credibility problems are his own making. He simply has zero political capital remaining.
When you make statements comparing Howard Stern and Bill O'Reilly to Adolf Hitler you hinder your ability to be taken seriously.
He has given audience to Saddam Hussein and the hate-o-crats currently in power in Iran. I see this as hindering efforts to help those suffering - not helping.
And, he's an actor - not a diplomat.
BTW, I know Cashman personally. He is a Gulf War veteran who has bled in the deserts of Kuwait and Iraq liberating those under Iraqi occupation.
I point this out only to demonstrate that you might not be aware of what *we* have done or are currently doing for those who need help.
