| Sean Penn Arrives in Baghdad for Three-Day Visit |
| 2002-12-13 |
| Oh, please, please, let the bombing start now! The actor and director Sean Penn arrived in Baghdad on Friday morning at the start of a three-day visit to Iraq. "By the invitation of the Institute for Public Accuracy, I have the privileged opportunity to pursue a deeper understanding of this frightening conflict," Penn said in a statement released in Washington and Baghdad on Friday. "I would hope that all Americans will embrace information available to them outside conventional channels. As a father, an actor, a filmmaker, and a patriot, my visit to Iraq is for me a natural extension of my obligation (at least attempt) to find my own voice on matters of conscience." Penn's visit to Iraq has been organized by the Institute for Public Accuracy, a national U.S. organization of policy analysts with offices in San Francisco and Washington, D.C. It's good that we have this Brain Trust to help us see the light. Without Sean Penn, where would we be? Answer me that! |

| #9 "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central had a hilarious take on this last night - clips of Penn as "Mr. Spicoli" talking about "being bogus", and such. Mr. Penn seems somewhat of an authority on Bogosity... |

| #4 These people amaze me. Were they all in comas in September 2001? Maybe he'll hook up with the Baghdad SAG and write up an Iraqi "Not In Our Name" petition.... but I kinda f**kin' doubt it. |

| #3 Reminds me of the following Jay Leno joke: "With all the new emphasis on energy conservation, the government is asking us to turn down the lights indoors. That's really not necessary, though. If you want to make the room dimmer, just bring in Alec Baldwin and ask him to talk politics." |
