Sean Penn is an idiot.

Hello, esmith, and this will be easy to prove you wrong. I want to take a direct quote from kels from the comments, and I will base most of my debate upon that: She said: "but he is not a politician he is an actor so to me that doesn't matter. He is a good actor." There. Its said. His political views are completely out of the debate. Out the window. We will now only talk about his acting.

There is much more material on him, so please do refute. Thank you.
