thanks, craigster.

I should pay more attention to these names.

...especially for visits down to LA. Seem "who" is all anyone talks about down there. --WHo's in, who's out. I suspect Hugh Jorgen is in-and-out a lot.

So; Sean Penn . ..



"In" or "out" ?

Well, it sort of looks like Sean's grasping hold of a big orange-tipped Steeley Dan, and the facial hair with Ray Bans looks acutely Village People.

So I vote "in" but through the back door. At least for this shot.

Of course someone in that boat should tell him: "Antree (sp?). This river don't go to Antree. This river don't go nowhere..."

Yes, I know what the term "personal photographer" means in this context, but I can also see through blatant propaganda. Who came up w/ that term for this "news story"? Bill O'Reilly? Limpballs?

I normally don't blow my anonymity so to speak on this board, but I've known him for 23 years and he doesn't pay photographers to take his picture. That's absurd. A ******* Oscar winning actor?

It's just a slander job from the slimiest faction that the U.S. has ever seen. Love him or hate him, depending on your politics, but he has more personal integrity than anyone I've ever met and is the most down-to-earth as well. Absolutely zero BS and follows his consience WHEREVER it takes him w/o consideration of bad press, etc...

I was telling the wife about his follies. I mean he forgets to put the drain plug in the boat. (I have done it as well) then the boat does not start. (Been there done that, very frustrating) then he decided to row around looking to save lives.

My wife commented, "Its the thought that counts".

If he saves one person that is 1 more than I am saving sitting in front of my computer.

He just went up a notch as far as I am concerned. He is risking his health just being there. Possibly his life if he meets some "boat jackers".

Is that a real story? If so, that's the funniest friggin' thing I've seen in a long time! My friend's 12-year old son forgot to put the drain plug in their duck boat too and they nearly sank. Being 12, he had an excuse. OTOH, maybe Spicolli burned a couple of fat ones before boarding and forgot the plug .......

"Alls I need is some tasty waves and a cool buzz..." How ironic.

Im tired of this fu**ing guy. First the crap with Iraq and now this. What an attention whore.

[speeder]

Yeah, he doesn't get much attention in this world. That would explain the row boat in NO.

Whatever.

And my favorite porn star name is Barry McCochenor.

I truely respect ANYONE that is helping save lives right now. There are people that are suffering and anyone that is helping the effort to save them are hero's in my book. People from celebrities to our national guard troops, to the NOPD to the average joe that are helping right now deserve our highest respect.

I give him credit for doing something. I still haven't gotten over Mule's friend's story about going in early. There are some real heros out there.

[pwd72s]

Gee, all I saw here on Channel 8, our local NBC affiliate, was a 10 second bit of Penn saying he'd rescued a dozen or so people, then *****ing about a "lack of federal response". Gee,why would our local TV show that? Oh..I keep forgetting: "It's Bush's fault"...

[fintstone]

One would suspect that if he actually "saved" anyone...his "personal photographer" would have recorded it for us (somewhat kerryesque). I guess he still has time to stage some photos...

[island911]

LOL -- it's reinactment time.

'Act 2, Take 2; Sean acting like a hero, whilst cursing Bush. (let's get it right this time people) SNAP.

[craigster59]

" And Sean...Babe... Don't look so constipated during the cup toss. Fling it.....don't dump it! O.K.... Roll sound.

[911pcars]

Seems like we have a few photo reviewers who feel fairly smug from the comfort of their Barca Loungers, cigars and Red Bull drink.

I doubt many of us would be down there (publicity hounds or not) even at a safe distance much less mucking around in the fecal soup they used to call N.O. in search of survivors. Bravo to anyone who attempts it, and I don't give special consideration to celebrities (unless it's Catherine Zeta Jones).

As an aside; pretty soon, a huge volume of that wonderful, bio-hazardous, chemical mix of human and animal waste, battery acid, DOT 3/4/5 brake fluid, gasoline, diesel and Mobil 1, pesticides, moth balls, bleach and cleaning solutions and industrial efluent will be pumped into the Atlantic to destroy whatever sea life and food source there is. There goes another source of jobs and another splotch on our environment.

Godzilla, created by and immune to careless nuclear weapons testing, would be hard pressed to wreck any havoc were he to try wading into N.O. at the moment.

Amazing what a little unattentiveness on the part of some civil servants can produce.

PS: That was a little unfair. Our bureaucrats were not entirely to blame for Katrina.

[island911]

Yeah it is pretty coool that Sean made the extra effort, braving the cesspool, and boat-jackers (note his bullet-proof vest) . . alll to strengthen his possition to bash Bush. He's true a hero.

It would be great if more smug Barca Lounger Liberals would take similar risks, before bashing Bush.

Leaky "woodlands camo" swamp boat: $3000.
Plastic keg cup: $.25.
Being the only pussy in the boat wearing Kevlar: PRICELESS.

Is that a Swiftboat? Where the hell is John F Kerry?

Please, you make it sound like this guy is hot, he's old news. So no, he wouldn't be anywhere near the headlines or even IN the papers without this.

That said, he may have balls AND be an idiot. They are not mutually exclusive.

[DaveE]

Maybe he just wanted to help someone.........
