Sean Penn Appointed Haitian Ambassador
LOS ANGELES, USA (defend.ht) - Sean Penn has accepted the job of Ambassador for Haiti, where he has spent the last two years managing a tent camp for displaced Haitians after the earthquake.
Sean Penn will now be the "ambassador at large" for the Caribbean nation.
Penn was offered the position by Haitian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Laurent Lamothe, while at the Cinema for Peace benefit in Los Angeles on Saturday night.
Picking up a humanitarian award for his work in Haiti, he told the crowd: "I do accept [the job]," before adding it would be nice to be "called, 'Hey Mr. Ambassador.'"
Another celebrity, supermodel Petra Nemcova became an Honorary Consul to Haiti in December.

Well, he's been bustin' some body's butt, and his yap is shut, it shut around some little black butt.
Sean Penn should *** in the shallows of Haiti by sucking rock fish.
If you think I'm too harsh, speak up and defend this really, really good worker.
anything that keeps him out of America is a humanitarian cause in my book.
ROFTLOL This is way to rich.
Good. Send him down there to live in a tent for the next several years while the embassy is rebuilt. Oh, and live off the economy.
You are right about Iraq while that was pretty idiotic, I was referring to the current windmill that his is charging. He may be a fool but he is a grand fool.
I agree. I can’t stand Sean Penn and his socialist views, but to be fair, he has worked extremely hard on behalf of the Haiti earthquake victims.
“He is a better man then most liberals, I won’t crack on him for that.”
I don’t like the guy, but he’s doing more for them than I am; good for him.
“I was referring to the current windmill that his is charging. He may be a fool but he is a grand fool.”
I like the metaphor. Kind of a red version of Sancho Panza.The only difference is poor Sancho never had a wife to beat up on like Sean did. In his case as to Haiti, I would think right message, wrong messenger.
My Haiti solution is simple — give the entire country to Donald Trump who is charged with sourcing capital to build the “Las Vegas of the Carribean”. No restrictions. No taxes. Low cost labor.
Someone PLEASE tell me this is a joke! Please!!!!!!
My apologies ... but, this is NOT a joke.

From the above CNN post:
The 51-year-old star was joined by Hollywood names like George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian and Mel Gibson, as well as those in the political arena, like California Attorney General Kamala Harris.
Kardashian, who recently traveled to Haiti, told CNN that her trip was illuminating.
“I didn’t have any expectations going down there and I really wanted to learn for myself,” she said. “When I got down there, I felt like there is so much that needs to be done, I didn’t know where to start. So, by working with different organizations you really learn what you can do to help, and I just think that everyone can help in any way, whether it’s online [or otherwise]. My experience was definitely eye-opening, and I can’t wait to go back.”
Kim Kardashian?!?
Maybe she will be appointed as Haitian Minister of Booty and Swag? She could also keep one of those Haitian orphans in her purse as a pet.
As if having Bill Clinton lead the recovery effort wasn’t enough ... hey, at least Penn had boots on the ground so I must give him his due.
Thanks for that info. I was wondering about that. The guy is a total America-hating jerk, but perhaps he will do some good for that miserable country. At least, maybe he won’t be corrupt like all of their leaders seem to be.
They have tied a rope to a fixture cemented in the ground. It’s Sean Penn’s job to keep tugging tight at that rope so the island doesn’t tip over.
Perfect! Why is it so difficult for so many to see the benefits of FREE enterprise? Geeze, if Cuba would ever dispose of their communist rulers, it would be assigning numbers to investors ready to build resorts and other enterprises. It could become another Monte Carlo overnight.
Geez.....
I wondering if the idiots are also looking for a spot to put Lady Gaga....
She could be the new White House Chief of Staff! (would you REALLY be surprised?)
Just damn..... We can’t get rid of this shameful joke fast enough!
LMAO! Does Spicoli now have diplomatic immunity?
this is such a disgrace....appointing a loud mouth arrogant punk to such a position....
you’re so right....I too wish all American Howood celebrities and their ilk move permanently to Haiti and live the life they were meant too...among the filth and the disease like any good commie dreams about....
