CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) -- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is grateful that actor Sean Penn has defended him against his critics within the U.S. media.

In an appearance on HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher" last week, Penn slammed Chavez critics who refer to the socialist leader as a dictator.

The Oscar-winning celebrity noted that Chavez has won repeated elections and suggested that media critics who call him a dictator should be jailed.

critics who call him a dictator should be jailed.

Birds of a feather....

Maybe it's Sean who's the "dictator".

Why does Chavez need to ‘have something on’ Penn? Why can’t they both be two immoral, Marxist loving idiots?

[Dead Eye Lane]

Very possible.

"The co-founder of the radical anti-war group Code Pink [Jodie Evans] has “bundled” more than $50,000 for Sen. Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, and pro-troops groups are demanding that he return the money."

Can we get that stupid mick to emigrate to Venezuela? Maybe he could be Chavez’ version of Gibbs.

[mad puppy]

In the long history of people saying stupid things, surely Sean has logged another impressive effort here.

[Happy Rain]

If Penn keeps letting Hugo do him like this,he’s gonna die screeming from rectal cancer.

...critics who call him a dictator should be jailed. .

Birds of a feather....


Damning Chavez (and Sean) with faint praise....

Bet Sean doen't see the irony in his statement.

No Freedom of Speech for critics. Typical of dictators and their blind "Red Diaper Baby" followers

"Can we get that stupid mick to emigrate to Venezuela?"

Sean is not a "mick"(Irish),

He's Jewish(though not a practicing one.)
