Nice to see that Sean Penn could unwrap his lips from Hugo Chavez's dick

[johninpueblo]

. . .long enough to say journalists who think Chavez is a dictator should be in jail:

You know a favorite pastime of dictators? Imprisoning journalists. So it's a little strange and totally stupid that self-important actor Sean Penn is defending his friend Chávez, president of Venezuela and a known dictator, by suggesting that any American journalist who calls him a dictator should wind up behind bars.

"Every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it and accept it. And this is mainstream media. There should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies," Penn said Friday on Bill Mahr's Real Time.

Regardless of whether you think Chávez is a dictator, we're pretty sure a hallmark of non-dictatorships is freedom of the press. You know, systems where journalists don't get jailed. Maybe if Chávez looked into that, Americans wouldn't call him a dictator so much.

Of course, Penn is just a giant, whiny asshole whose personal views shouldn't be given the spotlight.

He went on CBS's Sunday Morning and had a message for his detractors: "Do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah."

Classy!

Then, according to TMZ, he got into a confrontation with his ex-wife's new boyfriend at the Oscars.

Superclassy!

Theory: No one else will hang out with Sean Pen because he is such an ass, so he pretty much has to count the likes of Chávez as pals.

You stay classy Sean Penn.

I think it's funny that Penn criticizes press freedom since he fashioned himself a "journalist" not too long ago.

he hopes his critics die screaming of rectal cancer.    he's a great guy.

You just named the two people that 60% of the liberal population tunes into.        All  600,000 of them.

His biggest mistake was to go "Full Retard".

If Penn believes that anyone who refers to an elected official a dictator, shouldn't he and just about everyone else in Hollywood be in jail for all of the heinous, horrible things they said about President Bush?
