Sean Penn For President

Sean Penn for President
(If not President of the United States, then at least President of FEMA)
The reason the right-wingers hate Sean Penn so much is because he keeps showing the president up...it's great! Maybe this guy really should run for public office. So what if he once played a stoner in the movies?....The current occupant plays a stoner in the White House.

UPDATE: Sean Penn denies rumors (circulated by Karl Rove perhaps?) that his rescue attempt failed when his boat sprang a leak. (full story here)

Snippet from the news story:

Brinkley, a professor at New Orleans' own Tulane University who accompanied Penn on his voyage through the under-water city, was among the first to denounce the report. "There was never a leak," he said in the Daily News. On Larry King Live, Penn concurred: "The boat never sank."

According to Brinkley, the boat did take on water--because it was "overloaded" with storm survivors. According to Penn, his "entourage" consisted of "a couple of friends." (The actor's camp denied the existence of the "personal photographer.")

To Summarize:

Number of New Orleans Hurricane/Flood Victims rescued personally by Sean Penn-AT LEAST FORTY

Number of New Orleans Hurricane/Flood Victims helped by GW Bush, Dick Cheney or FEMA Head Brown-ZERO

Bush approval rating dips below 40% (but should actually be at ZERO)
