Quote of the Day

[compositeur]

Oscar-winner Sean Penn, on anti-gay protesters and Prop-8 supporters:

“...it’s a demonstration of such cowardice, emotional cowardice, to be so afraid of extending the same rights to your fellow man as you’d want for yourself.”

One of my co-workers, who watched the Oscars, complained that he hated Sean Penn and [insert list of numerous actors] because they are liberals. But he especially loathed Penn ebcause he was a liberal. I wonder if he heard that quote?

Is Penn really THAT much more liberal than Brad Pitt or Matt Damon or Barbra Streisand or the whole raft of them?

Sounds like your co-worker's beef was about something else. =)

I think he's just generally more obnoxious than any of them, which is my beef. He's a good actor but I find him kind of repugnant.
