Sean Penn's costar in the 1988 cop drama "Colors" has written an impassioned open letter to the actor about recent remarks Penn made praising Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez.

Actor Maria Conchita Alonso penned the letter, titled "An Open Letter to Sean Penn," on the website Newsbusters [Newsbusters link]. In it, she expresses her disappointment at Penn's statements made on the March 5 episode of HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher." On the panel-based talk show, Penn praised the Venezuelan president, saying Chavez had been elected in "14 of the most transparent elections in the globe, and been elected democratically." Conchita Alonso, who was born in Cuba 52 years ago but raised in Venezuela, begs to differ.

"Chavez pledged that his country would 'stay by Iran at any time and under any condition,' state television reported. Ahmadinejad said he saw in Chavez a kindred spirit." "'We do not have any limitation in cooperation,' Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying. 'Iran and Venezuela are next to each other and supporters of each other. Chavez is a source of a progressive and revolutionary current in South America and his stance in restricting imperialism is tangible.'":

Hollywood Liberals just can’t help themselves. They fall in love with any murderous dictator who comes down the pike.

What does SHE know? She only grew up there. s/

She was also in Predator 2 with Castro-loving Danny Glover.

She must not watch the news very often.

Sean Penn needs the crap kicked out of him.

[Red Steel]

Pac-man Sean Penn has to be the biggest imbecilic person in Hollywood and that’s saying something.

[Fiddlstix]

If you would kick it all out of Sean Penn there’d probably be enough to provide fertilizer for the state of Texas.

That's not a very flattering photo for her.

“Sean Penn needs the crap kicked out of him.”

You mean every day, right?

[FenwickBabbitt]

I’m glad to see someone in the entertainment industry speak out about this jackass and his love for Marxist dictators.

I wonder what goes through the minds of people like Sean Penn? How can they possibly believe the things they do? It seems like some form of insanity.

[Rodney Dangerfield]

F*** you, pac man.
