Sean hearts Hugo: The saga continues
Every few days I like to post something to remind us that, in spite of all the madness and stresses that may encompass our daily lives, we remain inexorably sane and grounded in comparison to some of the attention-starved, hypocritical, “phonier than the contents of bikini tops on Malibu beaches” Hollywood Left sect.
Today’s poster-boy for Thorazine is a frequent guest in the leftist Cuckoo’s Nest: actor Sean Penn.
In a piece at the Huffington Post published yesterday, Sean Penn rode to the rescue of his pal Hugo Chavez, defending the Venezuelan dictator against his American critics like a knight in clueless armor:
I know President Chavez well. Whether or not one agrees with all his policies, what is certainly true of Chavez is that he is a warm and friendly man with a robust sense of humor (who daily risks his own life for his country in ways Dick Cheney could never imagine). To treat such a man coldly is akin to spitting on him. As a country we’ve done enough of that.
Say what you will, but it has only resulted in the self-celebration of our smirking spitters, while costing us international respect, American lives, and left wounds in the hands of our children’s future. The Cheneys, down to the O’Reillys and Hannitys and Limbaughs, effectively hate the principles upon which we were founded. They are among the greatest cowards in all of American history.
Sean’s defending an outspoken, anti-American communist dictator from certain Americans because they hate the principles upon which America was founded? Nothing can better confirm your lucidity, or hone your sense of humor for that matter, that watching a wealthy American actor defending a man who, if in power in this country, would put a fast clamp on the “artistic freedom” of Sean Penn and his vacuous pals. And the Hollywood Left has the gall to call black Republicans “self loathing”?
Whenever I see Penn, Glover, Belafonte, Spacey, et al, sucking up to anti-American, anti-capitalist thugs, goons, tinpots and despots I can’t help but think of the giddy minions boarding the spaceship at the end of the “To Serve Man” episode of the Twilight Zone. It’s a cookbook, Sean!
Perhaps the most frustrating thing about the Hollywood left is that, even though they have more money than brains, most have never been quite stupid enough to move to a country that practices what they preach. But why should they when it might be coming to them?
You can learn all about Penn’s special friendship with Hugo Chavez in Sean’s upcoming sequel:

Sean – you’re an ass.
His defense for a virulently anti-American dictator is based solely on the argument that he is a personal friend. Oh, excuse me Sean! I didn’t know he was a friend of yours. That changes everything!
What an ignorant egomaniac!
Wasn’t Penn’s father banished from Hollywood for being an admitted commie during the Joe McCarthy era? Think the acorn falls far from the tree?
This is actualy a true statement. Seeing that Dick Cheney was not a dictor he never had to worry about an armed rebellion by the people to overthrow the tyranny of an opressive regime.
The last time Penn stepped up to defend a dictator was when we were threatening to invade Saddam’s Iraq. What ever became of this old Penn-pal?
Pas Phil, #2 I was thinking the same thoughts.
Geeze what a clueless idiot Penn-cil brain is.
Check his luggage upon re-entry to the U.S. I’d bet large coin he’s buddies with Hugo the tool just for the coca he brings back. How else can you explain such a fried mind?
It would appear Penn’s brain never advanced beyond the Spicoli stage.
“Heeyyy bud … what’s your pro-blem?”
Uh … you, Mr. Spicoli. You!
It’s the drugs. It has to be the drugs! What else could explain Sean Penn’s lack of lucidity. His brain is fried. I wish there was some way to deport traitors like this to the countries they seem to love so much. Next time he is in Venezuela or Cuba, please, please keep him! He has never done a thing positive for this country and we don’t want him here.
Bruce, Spicoli had some hope at the end of the movie. Sean Penn, on the other hand is beyound hope. He is someone I expect to wind up living under a bridge one day.
Very good work again Doug, and thanks. As for “Sean of the Brain-Dead”:
Agree with all of his policies? You mean like shutting down all opposition media operations, or imprisoning/killing those who oppose his jolly old elf dictatorship. I guess all those folks never truly understood his warm and friendly side with that robust sense of humor. Kinda hard with an AK pressed against your temple, ah, but I digress (in Sean’s purple-sky world). Count me in as a smirking spitter–too bad I quit chaw after my college baseball days a looong time ago.
Just when you think you have heard it all…
This is what happens when you get a public education.
Funny, but Venezuela’s South American neighbors tend to regard Chavez as a buffoon and comedians have as much fun with him as our own did with Bill Clinton. Here is an example, with Fidel Castro thrown in for added laughs.

You just can’t make this stuff up…
“communist dictator”? HUH?
Hugo Chavez is no more a communist dictator than Pervez Musharraf, who we got into bed with after September 11, 2001.
Hugo Chavez was elected and then went off the deep end. Musharraf came to power in a coup, yes a coup, and was then eventually elected.
This is the kind of thing that makes those of us on the right cringe. Stop mis-characterizing reality and stop mis-representing the truth.
You make it too easy for the left.
Stop it.
The reality is, when it serves our self interest we will take sides with any nefarious character at the expense of our principles, tenants and ideals.
Our history, unfortunately, is repleat with examples of whoring ourselves out, or going after people who we feel do not serve our self interests. From Battista, to Aquino, to Allende, to Mandela, to the Shah, to Sandino, to . . .
The thing is we have not gotten into bed with Chavez, Pres Obama merely shook the guys hand, and Sean Penn is delusional.
It may be a cookbook Michelle, but you can’t stop manlove. If it weren’t so gross it would be cute.
nbarry: that video is hilarious. Is that a Mexican show?
Spicoli still hasn’t grown up and is three times as stupid….
“Say what you will, but it has only resulted in the self-celebration of our smirking spitters,…”
I thought Geraldo was Puerto Rican?
56% of the votes put Chavez in power. obummer only got 52%
Someone has to, they’re as dumb as rocks, and he is a commie dic/coke head.
Hugo ain’t quite Stalin yet, but he uses street thugs against political opponents, has fixed elections, and altered the constitution there to make himself ruler for life. He has nationalized some industries, threatens to nationalize more, and supports communist terrorists in Colombia. And he is viciously anti-American, and pro-Iranian.
BTW, your sense of historical timing is pathetic, with Sandino last. Public school education.
Another actor whose movies I adamantly ignore.
BTW, way OT, but seeing the “Love American Style” image.
LAS had an episode ‘Love and the Happy Days’, which was developed into the TV series “Happy Days”.
Which begat ‘Laverne and Shirley’
and ‘Joanie loves Chachi’
And ‘Mork and Mindy’.
Sean Penn is as relevant as last year’s bird’s nest. I truly don’t care what he thinks about anything. He’s an actor making his opinion is as important as my neighbor’s; no more, no less.
Bill Ayers to Hugo Chavez:
Chavez’s Venezuela: Obama and Ayers
Chavez says crisis-hit U.S. needs new constitution
Sean Penn … a useful idiot.
Sean Penn is one of the best arguments for human cloning
—of Joseph McCarthy.
Not right every time and not for the right reason every time, but not afraid to wade in either.
“Hugo is my friend, and ….”
Suddenly,he’s interrupted by an unknown lacky…
“Oye, Sean! Mira, mira! Eats George Boosh! Esta alla!”
Sean, “Ptui! Ptui! You, sir, are a criminal! Ptui! I spit on you to show my solidarity with my friend, and ‘Democratically’ elected, Hugo Chavez!”
Sounds of gunfire.
Sean; “What’s goin’ on, man?”
Unknown lackey; “Thees peon was giving El Presidente the eveel eye. We took care of heem.”
George Bush; “But, he was just trying to shake my hand…!”
Sean; “No!!! The ungrateful bastard was trying to harm Hugo!”
George Bush; “But…”
Sean; “No buts! He was obviously an anti-Chavezista trying to fulfill his part of the U.S. plan to assassinate Hugo! Why can’t you imperialists just leave him alone? Waa-ha-ha-ha-a-a-a-a!”
Previously unseen director; “Okay, a-n-n-d CUT! That’s a wrap!”
Sean; “Wha-a-a-a-t?”
Acting we can believe in?
So was Uncle Joe, right?
Penn keeps winning best actor awards despite the fact that his movies always flop big time. His politically correct movie “Milk” was a flop at the box office and his remake of “All the Kings Men” sank without a trace. Who could forget Penn’s hilarious attempt at a Louisiana accent? And lets not forget the dud he directed called “Into the Wild”. That dud drove the studio into the wild. And best of all, who could ever forget the Penn performance in “Shanghai Surprise”? That was his lovable duo movie with Madonna. It is a tribute to Mr. Penn’s selfabsorption that he could star in such a turkey and actually think it is a good movie. I love his opening line in the Chavez article he wrote: “I know him well”. What a brownnosing name dropper. Madonna left Sean in the dust many years ago and I am thinking: Gosh, those two deserve one another.
Penns lame brain hero Hugo probably doesn’t share the same ideals as Penn on gay marraige either but gives him a pass the same as Odopey.
Give me a break, what does this tool know about principals?
If Penn loves Venezuela and Chavez so MUCH, why doesn’t he go QUICK QUICK QUICK and pack up wife Robin (that he almost divorced) and the kiddies and catch a plane to live there PERMANENTLY!!!
Hey, Sean…. take your posse of braindead Hollywood revolutionaries with you if you dare. However, we know you won’t- because eventually reality will hit you in the face and you’ll feel the brutal jackbooted pain of Chavez’s goons locking you up for speaking out on whatever you speak out against on any given day.
Seriously, the Hollywood gliterati and “brain trust” would follow a parrot with a beret if it could talk and tell them how special and willing suckers they are.
Pasadena Phil,
The video is from Peru, with a great comedian, Carlos Alvarez, as Chavez and Jorge Benavides as Fidel. Among their other characters drawn from real life are Michael Jackson (he gets large objects thrown at him every time he expresses his affection for “los ninos”), the two honchos of Peru’s state-owned oil company who were caught embezzling $80 million (they are portrayed as rats with long tails sticking out of their business suits), and Dr. Marco Aurelio, a middle-aged shrink who lusts after the starlets he analyzes. Here’s hoping that someone in Hollywood brings these funnymen here (legally, of course) to give us the laughs that too many American comedians fail to deliver.
Sean Penn and other Hollywood elites are entitled to his/their opinions.
They, however, are not going to get my Dollars.
I refuse to patronize them with my money.
I know, I know. Most of the Hollywood is Leftist. Now I watch very few movies and shows.
While watching movies in the past, I could not overcome the fact that the actor/actress playing on the screen is an irresponsible loon.
I would feel guilty for enhancing an idiot’s fame and fortune.
Now I watch Fox News, surf the net, read books, and spend time with my family. In my car, all six of the presets on AM dial are talk radios or news radios.
No more guilty conscience.
With the country roughly split into two halves – Left vs Right – if enough conservative populace shun these Loons’ movies, they will change their tune in no time at all.
After all, no body doesn’t like the sound of Money, even the loony liberals.
I think that about sums it up. One must really question the sanity of anyone that can find any redeeming quality in either of these two pigs.
Oh, and Vat, I’m with you. One of the seemingly fewer and fewer choices I have is at the box office. I will choose wisely. I will carry that thought through to those that consider patting Mr. Ass on the, er, ass (or head, sometimes it’s difficult to tell the difference with twits like Penn). Give the man an award? I wont be watching any longer than it takes to write down the sponsors names.
“Malignant Narcissists: Penn y Chavez- Kissing Cousins in Cognitive Dissonance”
TEST: If you believe Hugo Chavez is a warm and friendly man who “daily risks his own life for his country”…you too may have been brainwashed.
And ‘Scott Baio Is 45… And Single’

and …
But now I’ve got the LAS theme song running though my head. Im going back to bed.
A bio on Penn from this site says:
Education : Santa Monica College in Santa Monica, California (studied Auto Mechanics and Speech).
I think he should stick to talking about cars, not politics.
I think he should
stick to talking about cars, not politics.stop talking.Can’t we convince Sean to move there if he thinks it’s so great? Maybe we should take up a collection & buy him a one-way ticket.
More than the anti-American tenor, I am concerned anyone would want to associate themselves with a murdering militaristic totalitatian. This is grossly inconsistent with what secular-progressives say they stand for. It seems that Leftists, in their headlong pursuit of “social justice”, will ally themselves with whatever evil is in a position of power just so long as he advocates for wealth redistribution.
I continue to be curious as to Chavez’ financial holdings and those of his friends. Bet he holds a substantial portion of Venezuela’s zero-sum “pie”. Venezuelan Leftist hypocrisy in the face of low oil prices is a schadenfreudelicious thing.
The barbarians are at the gate. They call themselves liberals….
two drama queens on stage. both need attention, so making an ass of themselves has become rather common, pathetic and boring, but common.
I don’t care how good an actor Sean Penn is…
..I am NO actor and I can’t “Pretend” or “Act” like his spit swappin’ love affair with murdering dictators doesn’t make me want to throw up.
I agree. My movie habits are much more carefully considered now.
Also something to consider: Anyone who has the opportunity to be a part of long-term marketing surveys monitoring their cable/satellite TV habits should do so. You would have a tremendous impact on the industry. Consumer habits dictate the money flow. And I believe you can actually volunteer if they need people in your geographic location.
Larry Fine was a great American!
Sean Penn, not so much.
Sean is going to have to pull out all his best acting chops to pull this one off!
“And when I’m finished with my crooning, on my knees I’ll fall! My life! My love! My all!”

Sean playing Larry, as sung to Hugo!
I know President Bush well. Whether or not one agrees with all his policies, what is certainly true of Bush is that he is a warm and friendly man with a robust sense of humor (who daily risks his own life for his country in ways Sean Penn could never imagine). To treat such a man coldly is akin to spitting on him. As a country we’ve done enough of that.
Say what you will, but it has only resulted in the self-celebration of our smirking spitters, while costing us international respect, American lives, and left wounds in the hands of our children’s future. The Pelosis, down to the Reids and Olbermanns and Garafalos, effectively hate the principles upon which we were founded. They are among the greatest cowards in all of American history.
Penn and his like should be prosecuted as traitors. They should be jailed and never seen again.
“This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.”
Penn is attempting profundity, but achieving incoherence.
Those aliens couldn’t eat Sean, though. He’s “UNCLEAN!”
This is one American who is proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with The Cheneys, down to the O’Reillys and Hannitys and Limbaughs of America… Penn truly hates America, he is part of the fifth column in the United States IMHO. Other Americans I am proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with too are Ms. Malkin, Mr. Morrissey, Ms. Coulter, Mr. Beck just to name a few. God Bless to all who are fighting in the trenches against these miscreant from the Left.
The problem, it appears, is that actors have too much time on their hands between movies. If Sean Penn had a real job he wouldn’t have the time it takes to be this stupid.
What’s with the stigmata reference? Or is he just a dork?
Chavez may not be considered a communist, but isn’t communism the ultimate end to socialism? Regardless the semantics, he’s a threat to our American way of life, and he will continue to befriend our enemies just because they are our enemies. To me, that’s treasonous.
Michelle,
When I saw you’re headline, I thought, “WHAT?! Sean Hannity?” I forgot that Sean Penn even existed, what a shame for the poor brainless rube.
Same here.
Take away Penn’s cell phone and lattes. Then we’ll see who loves America.
Ugh. I’d love to meet Mr. Penn and slug him for being such a douche.
