Does Sean Penn matter?

By the way, i am not anti Bush ! I support him in times of war.........

But, what he said and wanted to do is one phucked up thing to do and say. And what is scarier is he meant this chit that he said. That is phucking sick and/or brain-dead to say The arab Emmirates are our allies.

:scared :com:

How do any of you know that Sean Penn did not give any money to New Orleans?

We shouldn't be worried about what the Sean Penns of the world give to New Orleans. It is a nice diversion tactic. What we should be worried about was the lack of response from our qovernment.

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

PowerLine is posting this excerpt from a New York Post article: "Sean Penn's Hurricane Katrina rescue boat just wasn't sound enough to help those in New Orleans. Penn had planned to rescue children waylaid by Katrina's flood waters, but apparently forgot to plug in a hole in the bottom of his vessel, which began filling with water seconds after its launch the other day, reports the Melbourne Herald Sun. The star was seen wearing what appeared to be a white flak jacket and frantically bailing water out with a red plastic cup. When the motor didn't start, Penn and his entourage ? including a personal photographer ? were forced to use paddles to propel themselves down a flooded street."

I think my favorite part is that he had a personal photographer along with him: "Here, take a picture of me reaching out to this drowning child . . . oh, crap, that angle is all wrong. No, don't pull the child in yet, you fool -- I need you to take another picture!" Oh, and the fact that he's the only one out of his "rescue group" with a flak jacket . . .

And there's more: "While telling viewers that the government was once again failing its citizens, one TV camera crew from MSNBC callously filmed a little girl crying to them for help. Then, after zooming in for a close-up of her tears, moved on, leaving her standing in the water, begging, ?please help me.? Neither the crew nor Keith Olbermann, who aired the footage, saw the irony. To them, evidently, compassion and aid is the responsibility of the government and every other American citizen, but not that of the media folks."

And don't even get me started on Shepard Smith's very public and very embarrassing on-screen meltdown as he idiotically shoved a microphone into the face of everyone walking past while thoroughly ignoring their desperate pleas for water.
+++++++++++++++++
Won't vouch for anything in report as it is from movie blog powerline but reporter equally dissed MSNBC and Fox so appears not biased anyway.

I could be wrong here, but I believe Penn was in NOLA for ALL THE KINGS MEN when Katrina hit. That is why his photog and a camera crew were there. It wasn't as if he called them up while he was in Cali and told them to fly down there with him to help.

SixFive, I'm honored. My taste in film is generaly pretty conservative-minded, so I can guarantee you that I am not writing anything on gay cowboys. Maybe the closest thing I'm working on is MALE ORDER BRIDE. You figure out the plot .
