"...Actor Sean Penn's days of writing for the San Francisco Chronicle may be over: The actor now calls the publication an "increasingly lamebrain paper." Penn offered the critique in a letter published Tuesday, written in response to a tongue-in-cheek article that focused on celebrity interest in Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. It listed a number of potential matchups between celebrities and dictators or other authoritarian figures. ...Penn objected to the characterization, saying Chavez is a democratically elected leader..."

‘Penn objected to the characterization, saying Chavez is a democratically elected leader...”’

Like George Bush, Sean?

ROTFL!

Why anyone pays attention to this turd is beyond understanding.

I suppose the irony of having the paper become "increasingly lamebrain" after Mr. Spicoli started writing there is beyond him.

This is weird, but I was just thinking about Sean Penn. What I was thinking was that it is odd that someone so ugly physically and so unattractive personally could be a successful actor.

I know he’s a decent enough actor, but he’s one of the few that I WILL NOT go see no matter what he’s in.

I just hope they don’t cast him in the next Harry Potter.

I think that Spicoli needs to take another bong-hit and smash his head again with his sneaker... he just needs a “righteous buzz... some cool waves and beautiful babes”... that’s the ticket!
