Cuban-born, Venezuelan-raised actress Maria Conchita Alonso and actor Sean Penn had a contentious exchange at Los Angeles International airport recently, in which Alonso called Penn a “communist a**hole“ and Penn called Alonso a ”pig.”
Over a year and a half after Alonso penned an open letter to Penn asking him why he supports socialist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, the two met up serendipitously (or not so) at LAX while both were waiting to claim lost luggage.
Alonso, who starred alongside Penn in the 1988 film “Colors,” described the exchange to Steve Malzberg on WMAL.
“I go ‘Hello,’ and he smiles and says, ‘Oh, you lost your bag too?” Alonso told Steve Malzberg on WMAL. “And I’m like, ‘No, my mother (lost her bag).’ And at that moment he recognizes me because he didn’t recognize me before, and he goes, ‘Oh, it’s you.’”
Alonso says she calmly told Penn she wanted to speak with him about the tension over Chavez when Penn blew up at her.
“He goes, ‘I don’t want to talk to you. You speak badly about me. You insult me on TV,” Alonso said.
Alonso says the conversation escalated when Penn accused Alonso’s brother of attempting to assassinate Chavez, which Alonso says is not true.
“So I’m like, ‘You are in favor of Hugo Chavez and [Iranian President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad.’ Because I also saw a picture of footage from TV where Chavez and Ahmadinejad are together and Sean Penn is next to them. And, you know, he‘s like ’I’ve never said that about Ahmadinejad. You’re a pig.’ And I go to him, ‘And you are a communist, Sean Penn!’”

It is a very good sign.
Huh? Guilty for what?
Three-way trade, here...New York/New England for Poland and the countries you mentioned; West Coast (west of the Cascades) for Alberta and Eastern British Colombia.
Agreed - challenging the delusions of a violent sociopath is a risky endeavor even on a good day.
Well, it does the trick for me...
Maria is much better looking, then and now.
I’ve seen this movie so many times.
