Liberal to the Rescue

Kudos to Sean Penn for trying, but perhaps next time he should find a boat with a working motor, check the drain plug, and leave the entourage on the beach.

What can we learn from this? First off, Penn seemed more concerned about bringing along the yes-men (check the GQ stud in the background of provided photo) and his official photographer than keeping any room in the boat for victims. A situation, by the way that was not lost on witnesses to the Penn circus.

...one bystander taunted the actor: "How are you going to get any people in that thing?"

The boat he is using appears to be a duck-hunting boat which couldn't possibly be his, and given the black paint job on what is visible of the motor, it appears to be a Mercury. That it wouldn't start comes as no surprise to any of us in the land of ten thousand lakes.

A few words of advice for Mr. Penn: When attempting to rescue people via watercraft it is better to leave room in the craft for said rescue-ees. Also, when faced with an emergency situation such as trying to make a good show for the media, rent a boat with a Johnson motor. At the very least, it will start.

The only thing sadder than liberals complaining that no one else is helping, is liberals actually trying to help. Still, this image of him in his designer sunglasses, sporting a soul patch and his cup from last night's kegger is truly priceless and may have brought something that is sorely lacking in New Orleans right now.

A sorely needed dose of humor.
