#1 Did he even act in his last movie?

#2 Hate his politics, but his acting in "Mystic River" was outstanding. Great movie, but no way would I watch it more than once, really depressing.

#3 Comparing Penn's remarks to stinking rotting bluefish is an insult to a fine sport-fish.

#4 Just don't try eating them, Sgt.DT. Even my cats wouldn't touch it!

#6 My God, this is the most painful read I've had in a long, long time! I wonder if they had to edit out his descriptions of his own bowel movements? Can anyone read this article and not come away feeling that Sean Penn loves Sean Penn and believes the world--nay, the universe--revolves around him?

If you've got plenty of time to waste and want an exercise in separating the wheat from the chaff, here it is.

#7 Sorry, I stopped being interested when he mentioned Medea Benjamin...

#8 I stopped being interested when I saw the name Sean Penn. I decided not to read the rest when I saw the sentence about SARS.

#9 I was going to post this article. In fact I had started to but after EFL'ing (Editing for Length) and cutting all the concieted 'I'm so great' parts... there wasn't anything left...

What a concieted selfish prick! I'm suprised he did not describe in exquisit detail the smell and sound of each of his holy farts.

#10 Andrew Sullivan has a different take. Too bad I, and it seems everyone else, didn't have the stones to read this self-aggrandizing piece of ~~bluefish~~ tripe to its bitter end, or maybe I'd find myself agreeing with Andrew.

#11 Raj--I did read it to the end, and once one does get past the me-me-ME crap it is interesting. It's just that it is so aggravating having to trudge through the crap about his blood being drawn, and his wife and daughter, and how he has to settle for hummus and olives instead of lamb, the poor thing!

I bet he screams out his own name when he's coming. We could ask his wife--or his daughter, since they're both exactly the same person.

Maybe that's why he and Saddam got along so well. They're both complete egomaniacs.

#12 That daughter statement is reeeally creepy. Makes you wonder if the needle was pumping something in instead of pulling it out. Most interesting the bit about the call from Medea. At least we know whose pulling the puppet strings.

#13 So what's Medea doing over there again? Running the "Famous Visiting Asshat" bread and breakfast?
