I am sure that he wanted Jamaica with all that weed!

winstonlabrador   February 1st, 2012 - 12:49 am

Shoot me. He should be tried for treason. Let him live in Haiti for a while.

keeemosabe   February 1st, 2012 - 12:59 am

If he does not follow your political prescription, let him ________, eh? Narrow minded much? He has done more than most any other individual in Haiti since the earthquake. If this is what he wants and deserves, what is that to you?
Go ahead… hate do-gooders…and maybe then you'll be just as unhappy as you deserve to be….and get whatever ills fall your way….and nobody will be there for you. Poetic justice?

dswilli   February 1st, 2012 - 1:21 am

Good place for the idiot.

AngrylilDwarf   February 1st, 2012 - 1:31 am

Wow…..Soooo, how much money does he owe you?

ShawnSen   February 1st, 2012 - 1:34 am

Yup , Haiti just got much worse

AmericaAsItWas   February 1st, 2012 - 1:38 am

Hasn't Haiti suffered enough? Now this…

TrueGrit   February 1st, 2012 - 2:08 am

I nominate Michelle Obama as ambassador at very large for HATEY

xashex   February 1st, 2012 - 2:24 am

Just what Haiti needs. Another self righteous white liberal father to look out for them. Good luck!

Petroglyph   February 1st, 2012 - 2:27 am

Two things here stand out to me personally.

First, good for Penn to help the people of Haiti.

Two, we better not be paying this little patchouli shlt one cent of my tax money to do this, let him pay for it with his 1% money.

Many of you may recall, I met this man a few years ago in a ski shop here in CA. A tiny little man that smelled like old hippy and a face like saddle leather.

claspur   February 1st, 2012 - 2:38 am

There's nothing 'Do Good' about this POS, douchebag.

claspur   February 1st, 2012 - 2:39 am

Well, now I guess I really have to feel sorry for the people of Haiti-now, huh?

claspur   February 1st, 2012 - 2:45 am

Wonder how Soros and Soetoro 'Feel' about this?

Hopefully he will stay there.

I am Sam, Sam I am.
My rep is now so weighty
since bammy sent me to Haiti
I am Sam, Sam I am.

zl1ramjet   February 1st, 2012 - 3:09 am

What's next? Lemme guess….a Noble Peace Prize for this jackwagon?

IronTigersVet   February 1st, 2012 - 3:16 am

As if it isn't bad enough we have the world-wide laughing stock Obama as POTUS, now they want to name this dik-tater loving POS as an ambassador. What a joke!

joymc   February 1st, 2012 - 3:28 am

He gets to wallow in the lime light a little more, great for his brand among the fans. I remember when he was married to Madonna and smacking her around.

EddieGin   February 1st, 2012 - 3:35 am

Good One. ***** stars that's five stars.

EddieGin   February 1st, 2012 - 3:36 am

YES, they gave B.H.O. one for a week in office. PUKE

wohlfguy   February 1st, 2012 - 3:43 am

Overrated actor and a socialist azzhole.

WestGAFlash   February 1st, 2012 - 3:52 am

"He's done more than most any other individual in Haiti…………"

Since pretty much nobody has done anything, that's a pretty hollow claim.

Where are the billions that Bono and Clinton raised? Lost in cyberspace, just like Corzine and his cronies.

Never trust liberals to handle your money.

Irondog   February 1st, 2012 - 3:58 am

Penn is a 1%'er.

losarkos   February 1st, 2012 - 4:04 am

yeah, money down a dark hole never to be seen again.

oh. maybe seen in Davos.

losarkos   February 1st, 2012 - 4:11 am

on a different note my wife and I ran into Sir Anthony Hopkins (my wife literally also bumped into Ray Liotta in the hall, she said she couldn't speak[ she loves this guy] and Sir Anthony talked to us and shook hands with us and held the elevator for us as we got on with our bellman and our bags, we chatted briefly on the elevator and had a very nice parting.
We saw him walking aroung the hotel alot with his assistant, but we watched as he was peacefully left alone by every one in the hotel.
This was the Jeffersonian hotel in Richmond, while they filmed Red Dragon.
He was a true gentleman, soft spoken with wonderul karma, we will never forget this chance meeting and He is a true movie star!, just to highlight the difference whith penn.

losarkos   February 1st, 2012 - 4:19 am

frankly I don't like his politics one bit and the meetings with chavez are ill conceived, but I could never belittle him for anything done if it "really" is helping Haiti.
but I have not read a peep about what he has acutally done. maybe you could write a small post about some factual help he has worked on for Haiti. ( a second thought on westgaflash post)

Obamaisatraitor   February 1st, 2012 - 4:20 am

He should be ambassador to Venezuela and get a real taste of what he loves.

MrNewCastrati   February 1st, 2012 - 4:28 am

He should get Maria Conchita Alonso as a character reference.

misturafina   February 1st, 2012 - 4:47 am

Hey stoopid,that was a character he played in a movie.

misturafina   February 1st, 2012 - 4:49 am

I agree with you,why all the thumbs down? Whatever his politics,he is walking the talk.
These people around Breitbart are do nothing cowards.

starshinepuppy   February 1st, 2012 - 4:52 am

All the money and aid that has been sent to Haiti appears to have done little to help this poor country. Appointing this idiot just adds insult to injury!

AlexMoline   February 1st, 2012 - 4:56 am

Good riddance

freedomliberty13   February 1st, 2012 - 4:59 am

I guess there were no openings as ambassador to Cuba, N. Korea, or Venezuela?

palidin911   February 1st, 2012 - 5:12 am

It's a perfect place for Penn. A s**t head in a s**t hole.

szysgt   February 1st, 2012 - 5:21 am

Gnarly

szysgt   February 1st, 2012 - 5:22 am

Exactly what I was thinking. A bout with dysentery will do him good.

Tomtom29   February 1st, 2012 - 5:28 am

Hey Sean, when you get to Haiti make sure you drink the water.

JohnGaltRules   February 1st, 2012 - 5:57 am

Papa Penn

DanielShays   February 1st, 2012 - 6:11 am

Too bad we don't have a consulate on Mars

Libtard   February 1st, 2012 - 6:18 am

An A-Hole for a S-Hole… Kinda makes sense.

Odie1956   February 1st, 2012 - 6:19 am

Mabye he could take Danny Glover with him and both would be a bit closer to their buddy Hugo Chavez.

badodor   February 1st, 2012 - 6:20 am

He probably wants to establish COMMUNISM over there.

notfooledbydems   February 1st, 2012 - 6:25 am

Are you kidding me? What next, Madonna as the Arts liaison?

NotKennedy   February 1st, 2012 - 6:26 am

Haha! "Ambassador" Joe Wilson has been outdone by a real 'yellow cake' diplomat! And ol' Sean, he be thinking he all special and shyt… when the silly boy has to have a body guard just to go to LA. Another knockdown, staggering hypocrite without a cause. Stifling poverty in his own zipcode but Showboat Sean de La Chavez now thinks he is the incarnation of Poppa Doc of Voodoo Rock! Put a bone in you nose Sean and show us the Sean Dance!

Mamma's, keep your chirruns away from dat man.

DANNYBOY0007   February 1st, 2012 - 6:31 am

WOW Sean who has been using your face for a punching bag…man that some bad road ….hey can ya stay down there and take most like 99% of "wholey-wood" with you…

dgleon   February 1st, 2012 - 6:34 am

Ugly, ugly man… and it shows on his face.

Ashrak   February 1st, 2012 - 6:37 am

Title of Nobility.

Typical act by someone who demonstrates time and again how much they hate the Constitution and every First Principle contained within.

Mrs.Tank   February 1st, 2012 - 6:37 am

Oh well this ought to fix Haiti right up than. We should see it back to it's utopian paradise state in no time. *sarcasm*

Mrs.Tank   February 1st, 2012 - 6:38 am

Well this should see it back to being a utopian paradise in no time.. +sarcasm+

Shorter version for the mods..Sigh.

Mrs.Tank   February 1st, 2012 - 6:39 am

Good grief, two comments in a row waiting to be approved..

Mrs.Tank   February 1st, 2012 - 6:40 am

I'm sure Sean will turn Haiti back into the utopian paradise that it was before, right Sean.

Mrs.Tank   February 1st, 2012 - 6:40 am

Ugh, how's this for something to moderate…Screw the admins. :-)

barkingbird   February 1st, 2012 - 6:44 am

Is this moron spending any of his own money or is he spending mine ???????

Cowboy Logic   February 1st, 2012 - 6:46 am

Isn't it about time for a Hatian Earthquake Update on Big Hollywooed?

It has only been two years…………

alwaysright5   February 1st, 2012 - 6:54 am

How much money do worthless actors make in Haiti?

NotKennedy   February 1st, 2012 - 6:59 am

Damned UGLY.

canadianlady2   February 1st, 2012 - 7:01 am

All I can say is it doesn't take much to become an Ambassador to a banana republic these days. All this is about is that Obama loves to hobnob with the hollywood hoi polloi. So fake. Sean Penn??? LMFAO!

NotKennedy   February 1st, 2012 - 7:02 am

Joe Wilson lives like a third generation Kennedy on his Ambassador money. And now that Sean is "one of the island emperors" he will get all kinds of international support from his husband, Chavez, and his mentor, Castro–comrades of the butt.

cothel   February 1st, 2012 - 7:03 am

Great move. Now let's make W ambassador to Iraq, and Cheney to Afghanistan.

NotKennedy   February 1st, 2012 - 7:06 am

Jimm'a Cart'a ought get down their soon to assist in Sean in establishing his new government. NPR will put up a signal and the Peace Pukes will be right behind with slogans, logos and brainwashed youngsters looking for Sean-filled-adventures in village pillaging and international development.

Glennd1   February 1st, 2012 - 7:12 am

The responses on this thread show the vicious and delusional nature of the typical Tea Partier. While I disagree with Penn politically, very strongly, I admire his straight talk about it. He doesn't pretend to be something he's not. More to the point, his work and the fact that spent most of his personal fortune trying to help the people of Haiti who are suffering so dreadfully is meritorious, not worthy derision. What kind of Christians are you folks here? Are you all so deluded by your ideology that you cannot even tell good from bad, right from wrong anymore? And oh yeah, to the MORON above who worried about "his" tax dollars going to Penn – it was Haiti that made him an "ambassador at large", not the U.S. govt. The U.S. govt is completely uninvolved – if you would simply read, you'd know that. What a bunch of nasty jerks the lot of you are.

Buhlz_I   February 1st, 2012 - 7:23 am

Befitting…..Hey Sean don't forget your shotgun….like the one you carried in the streets of New Orleans after hurricane Rita.

JamesDrouin   February 1st, 2012 - 7:29 am

Syria would be better, he has a well documented penchant for dictators who murder by the hundreds of thousands.

amanuensis   February 1st, 2012 - 7:38 am

He should be called "The ambassador of Hate."

burns1   February 1st, 2012 - 8:05 am

There goes the neighborhood.

UrinalMint   February 1st, 2012 - 8:06 am

And have sex with the women…..

Very large percentage of AIDS.

Plus, it would be a new experience for him.

Cowboy Logic   February 1st, 2012 - 8:13 am

"Now let's make W ambassador to Iraq, and Cheney to Afghanistan."

Excellent suggestion!
They would clean those sewers out, post-haste!

F_This   February 1st, 2012 - 8:19 am

Commie B***ard!

BLRanch   February 1st, 2012 - 8:19 am

Another clown shoes story

MLCross   February 1st, 2012 - 8:23 am

So, did Haiti decide they had a whole population of women that needed a good beating? Well, at least they know an expert when they see one.

yeahyouright   February 1st, 2012 - 8:25 am

I hope he gets leishmaniasis.

fightingO   February 1st, 2012 - 8:30 am

If there is a God then let there start a huge revolution to overthrow the elite oppressors. That'll take care of Jerk Penn. Psst! CIA tell the Hatian government. Penn is a spy for the commies. Arrest him and take his passport then throw him into one of your wonderful jail. PLEESSE!

greekelk   February 1st, 2012 - 8:31 am

I hope he stays there. Their gain(or loss) will be our gain.

Martel64   February 1st, 2012 - 8:35 am

Hope his visits there are like something out of "The Serpent and The Rainbow" or "Live And Let Die" – without the happy endings.

kbs55   February 1st, 2012 - 8:46 am

So far left no one wants him as an actor, so the administration will pay him to act like an amdumbassador.

ToddM   February 1st, 2012 - 8:56 am

I know…we should be soooooo much more graceful to a guy who has no problem belittling and insulting people he doesn't agree with. Our bad. And that equates to the Tea Party HOW? It's amazing you made that leap to link our feelings towards Spicoli and the Tea Party. That's some serious contorting.

A_pen   February 1st, 2012 - 9:00 am

Baby Doc Penn

MrRight   February 1st, 2012 - 9:01 am

Quite appropriate. Naming a $#it head ambassador to a $#it hole.

edro3111   February 1st, 2012 - 9:02 am

Wait a minute! I thought he was Ambassador to Venezuela!! You can't just treat a Commie dictator's buddy like that!

LAKESPED   February 1st, 2012 - 9:02 am

AMBASSADOR RIGHT. MORE LIKE LIBERAL JERK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jbspry   February 1st, 2012 - 9:09 am

Maybe he could lead an "Occupy Port-au-Prince" protest against economic inequality and single out his patron President Martelly for abuse as a "1%-er" seeing as how 99% of the Haitian citizens eat dirt while Martelly wears $1000 tailored suits.

Founding_Dad   February 1st, 2012 - 9:17 am

I feel so badly for Haiti. What have they ever done to deserve Sean Penn? That's like sending a human disaster in on the heels of a natural disaster.

rynnjacobs   February 1st, 2012 - 9:31 am

Barf.

Ruler4You   February 1st, 2012 - 9:37 am

Ah, Sean and B.J.Clinton (U.S. U.N. Ambassador to Haiti) whoopin' it up on the Big Ilse? Two years! It's STILL a toilet. Billions of dollars, gone. It's STILL a toilet. Yeah, my prescription would have been more celebrity, too.

TexasJack2010   February 1st, 2012 - 9:39 am

Hey beats having him talk her in America, let him talk his STUFF in a foreign country

akheaps76   February 1st, 2012 - 9:41 am

Very fitting that he would receive this award…since another euphemism for Haiti is HELL! You go Sean.

Rayvet   February 1st, 2012 - 9:49 am

Actually that character he played pretty much reflects his real life personality. Who's the stoopid (sic) one now? Ya big dummy!!

PigmyPuncher   February 1st, 2012 - 9:51 am

Someone should get Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) on the bat phone – if Penn is allowed to go his ego might make the island tip over…

Rayvet   February 1st, 2012 - 9:51 am

He's a raving socialist/marxist who cavorts with known enemies of our state (can you say Chavez). Him and his ilk (danny glover, Cynthia McCommie, I can go on and on) deserve the short end of a long rope. That's what it is to me.

jdog   February 1st, 2012 - 9:56 am

What?? Please… dollar for dollar… There are hundreds of people who have done more for Haiti than this clown.

Rayvet   February 1st, 2012 - 9:57 am

"He doesn't pretend to be something he's not"

You mean like the "photo op" he had made getting into that boat after Katrina. The problems with you libs is you are so stupid you're gullible. This guy has you libs/dims/socialists thinking he's doing all these activities out of altruism and the kindness of his own heart. Intelligent people can see through the facade and know it's all a great big act. The education system has failed you.

Glennd1   February 1st, 2012 - 10:11 am

And you aren't a Tea Partier? If so, sorry for the bashing, but I find that the likelihood of someone commenting on BreitbartTV in the way most of the morons on here do and being a Tea Partier very high in my experience here. Did you read the nasty, stupid comments? Or are you just a-okay with all that?

Glennd1   February 1st, 2012 - 10:16 am

Typical Tea Party moron. I even said in my comment that I very strongly disagree with Penn politically – I'm a libertarian, no "lib" or socialist, in fact I'm farther from it than you are, you ignorant rube. As for what Penn is up to, hmm, he's spent millions of his own money, most of his fortune in fact ,on Haitians who are dying by the hundreds of thousands since the quake – maybe you didn't know that, so busy you are jacking-off to GlennBeckTV. He doesn't ask anyone to feel bad for him, he knows he can make more. While I do agree he's a real dik sometimes, I think in this he's shown his motives and actions to be very good. It's sad for you that you can't see the goodness in him – even if he can't see the goodness in you. I bet you call yourself a Christian too, what a nasty, pathetic little human being you must be.

Glennd1   February 1st, 2012 - 10:17 am

Are you actually retarded? He's spending his own money, and most of it. That's the point. Can you actually even hear words that don't come from Rush Limbaugh anymore?

ArchonPrime   February 1st, 2012 - 10:45 am

AMBASSADOR SPICOLLI.

DlCK.

ToddM   February 1st, 2012 - 10:58 am

I'd consider myself a Tea Partier, but what does that have to do with disliking/hating Spicoli? I hate anyone who loves dictators like Chavez, Castro, etc. And he fits that bill.

Kerouac451   February 1st, 2012 - 11:08 am

Nonsensical post. What point are you trying to make? Spit it out. Hiding behind lame humor tells me you're scared to be truthful. Coward.

Kerouac451   February 1st, 2012 - 11:18 am

And he's wasting all of that money. It is a black hole of good intentions that won't get better until it's political system resembles AMERICA. How is Sean Penn's attempted nation building any different from George Bush's in that respect? Throwing money at a problem that will just suck it in. Good for you Sean! We're supposed to applaud INTENTIONS according to you, not results. Sean Penn sits next to dictators (Chavez and Castro) and calls them heroes while they brutalize and subjugate their populations. And you want us to laud him because he's throwing money away at Haiti? You call yourself a libertarian? BS. You're a socialist that thinks it's cool to support Ron Paul and Sean Penn because that's what's trending on Twitter.

misturafina   February 1st, 2012 - 11:56 am

Hey extra stoopid,I always knew you guys got your information from standing in line at the grocery store.
And to answer your question that would be you.
You probably think stoopid is play on the word stupid.

Rubicon   February 1st, 2012 - 12:36 pm

Maybe America will get lucky and another earthquake will hit while he's there – preferably about 6 ft from the epicenter.
