Sean Penn: Impeach George W. Bush, Dick Cheney
2006-12-19
You did it again on this one. Just put the fucking URL (the "http://www..." thingy) of the Source Page into the Source Box, nothing else. No one else screws this up, just you.
Let the giggles begin.
Tuesday, December 19, 2006Oscar-winning wife beating actor Sean Penn called for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Cheney in an impassioned speech Monday night in New York.

The occasion was Penn's winning the first annual Christopher Reeve First Amendment Award from the Creative Coalition, a non-partisan advocacy and lobbying group founded by New York actors such as Reeve, Ron Silver and Susan Sarandon more than a decade ago.
Ah Susan, miss saggy ones

Penn is no stranger to controversy, politics or their intersection. But last night's speech was a little different — even for him — amping him up to the next level in the war between liberals and conservatives over the war in Iraq. Penn spoke in measured tones but was actually quite inflammatory. The combination worked.
He does have a pretty high IQ. To bad about the brain damage.

He also threw a verbal grenade into the crowd when he said: "So look, if we attempt to impeach for lying about a [oral sex act], yet accept these almost certain abuses without challenge, we become a [human] stain on the flag we wave."
Sean now tell us again about your Iraq trip and praise for Saddam.

#19  Please start the impeachment hearing next week. After a couple of days the public will find that they have no basis for impeachment and they will look stupid (as usual).

#17  Yeah, kind of degrades Skidmark to be put in the same class as this A-hole.

I'll try to be more sensitive next time.

#16  Big Jim, we got ourselves a "skidmark" here at RB, I think Penn deserves to be a skidstain! More fitting don't you think?

#15  "So look, if we attempt to impeach for lying about a [oral sex act], yet accept these almost certain abuses without challenge, we become a [human] stain on the flag we wave."

I think it ill-advised to use a stain analogy in the same sentence as a comment about Bill's peccadilloes.

#14  If Ron Silver is part of the group I'm willing to accept that they are non-partisan (or they were when founded).

#13  Penn, wearing slicked-back hair, suit and tie, came to the stage at Duvet, a party space on West 21st St., with serious intentions. Unfortunately, his cell phone rang a couple of times during his pointed remarks, and finally he had to answer it.

Dood, like, when receiving, like, a major award, or even, like, a minor one like this in the backroom of some restaurant or celebrity boozeatorium, like turn off your cellphone, dood, like, y'know. Like, wow, man, that is, like, so uncool...

#10  "I had absolutely no plans to watch Comic Relief 2006 on HBO..."

I didnÂ’t either. All IÂ’m sayin is if you find yourself as in my unfortunate situation as a member of a captive audience you might want to ask your doctor if Jim Beam is right for you.

#9  I never could figure out why this skidmark thinks people care about what he thinks.

#7  If bullshit of this sort tends to raise your blood pressure I suggest you take a sedative before watching Comic Relief 2006 on HBO.

#5  Thre should be a law forbidding actors, athletes and the likes to talk politics publically.

I am amazed that peolple whose IQ is lower than room temperature, who usually didn't graduate from high school, cut off from real world and who usally have lives replete with scandals (alcohol, drugs, career-enhancing sex, half a dozen divorces on average, the occasional rape like for Polanski) feel they are so superior to other citizens (including the enginerrs, scientists, successful businessmen) that they (the celebrities) may lecture them about who the cizienzens should vote.

And that instead of being told to shutup the words uttered by that low quality individual get mass exposure.

#1  Someone needs to switch to decaf.

As for Penn a non-partisan advocacy and lobbying group founded by New York actors such as Reeve, Ron Silver and Susan Sarandon more than a decade ago. Aint that just a nice, neet and tidy lie. Non-Partisan my ass.
