Sean Penn: ‘Iraq Is Not Our Toilet’

Wondering where Sean Penn has been?

The Oscar-winning actor recently surfaced at a town hall meeting.

Penn was evidently emboldened by previous events of the day in which the House voted 218-212 to withdraw troops from Iraq by September 2008.

Hundreds gathered at the meeting to get an earful of anti-Iraq war talk. They would not be disappointed.

Penn was present along with Democrat Rep. Barbara Lee, a member of the Out of Iraq caucus.

Maybe the many “Impeach Bush” signs that were displayed by people outside inspired Penn to let the insults fly like a pizza pie.

“You and your smarmy pundits — and the smarmy pundits you have in your pocket — can take your war and shove it,” Penn wailed about the president to applause and cheers. “Let's unite not only in stopping this war, but in holding this administration accountable.”

While Rep. Lee told the crowd that the war was “illegal and unwinnable,” Penn tried to finesse the support of the troops as he proceeded to undercut their mission.

“Let's make this crystal clear: We do support our troops, but not the exploitation of them and their families,” Penn said. “The money that's spent on this war would be better spent on building levees in New Orleans and health care in Africa and care for our veterans. Iraq is not our toilet. It's a country of human beings whose lives that were once oppressed by Saddam are now in ‘Dante's Inferno.’”

Nice to know Penn was educated in the classics at Ridgemont High.

Admiral Spicoli is at it again!

[Bosco]

He's right.

Hollywood is America's moral toilet.

[NRA1995]

OHHHHHH, GNARLY!

[Izzy Dunne]

lives that were once oppressed by Saddam

Hey, seeing an admission of that is progress.

[GSlob]

"Iraq is not our toilet."
Of course, it is not. It is a dunghill in its own right, with no need to be made into a toilet.

better spent on building levees in New Orleans

The money was well-spent in tearing down levees in Iraq.

‘Iraq Is Not Our Toilet’

No, I'd say Hollywood is, you little sh**.

[dfwgator]

He needed to spend more time with Mr Hand.

[rlmorel]

Well, if Iraq is not our toilet, then we have to find some other country to send Spicoli to.

No Sean, but Hollywood is, and guess what that makes you.

“The money that's spent on this war would be better spent on building levees in New Orleans and health care in Africa and care for our veterans."

What does Africa have to do with New Orleans or our veterans?

“You and your smarmy pundits — and the smarmy pundits you have in your pocket — can take your war and shove it,” Penn wailed about the president to applause and cheers. “Let's unite not only in stopping this war, but in holding this administration accountable.”

This is not a complete quote. If you can find the words they took out at the "-" signs, you'd be aghast and disgusted............

Iraq may not be our toilet but we damn sure know who is the biggest turd.

[Eagle Eye]

‘Iraq Is Not Our Toilet’

Heavens, no!

I keep my toilet much cleaner than Iraq. And I've been there!

[dfwgator]

[MizSterious]

This from Mr. Pottymouth himself...

[Wil H]

He's right. Hollywood is America's moral toilet.

..And Penn is one of the largest, festering, turds in it...

And America is not yours.

[Holicheese]

i wonder if Sean was packin' that night or he left it on the passenger seat?
What an ultra-maroon!

[geezerwheezer]

I re-named the bathrooms in our building to "The Sean Penn Room" for the men, and "The Rosie O'Donnell Room" for the ladies. Maybe more folks would like to do this all over America. I think I'll name the urinals after other male freaks of Hollyweird, and name the commodes after female Hollyweirdos. How does the "Barbara Striesand Memorial Toilet" sound?
