Now I feel better

I was getting very worried that we weren't sending the proper representation over to Iraq. At least now I'll be able to sleep at night knowing we have sent our best and brightest:

Sean Penn Arrives in Baghdad for Three-Day Visit


The actor and director Sean Penn arrived in Baghdad on Friday morning at the start of a three-day visit to Iraq.

"By the invitation of the Institute for Public Accuracy, I have the privileged opportunity to pursue a deeper understanding of this frightening conflict," Penn said in a statement released in Washington and Baghdad on Friday. "I would hope that all Americans will embrace information available to them outside conventional channels. As a father, an actor, a filmmaker, and a patriot, my visit to Iraq is for me a natural extension of my obligation (at least attempt) to find my own voice on matters of conscience."

Penn's visit to Iraq has been organized by the Institute for Public Accuracy, a national U.S. organization of policy analysts with offices in San Francisco and Washington, D.C.

So, let me get this straight, in October we see the following headlines:

Actor Sean Penn Lashes Bush Over Iraq War Drums

Now we hear him saying "I would hope that all Americans will embrace information available to them outside conventional channels." "... my obligation (at least attempt) to find my own voice on matters of conscience."

Ok, so does he now expect his "Own Voice" to be different than it was in October? If not, then he arrives in Baghdad with his conscience looking for proof to backup his previously stated views.

The only good thing I can say to his visit is that Saddam only holds a single American POW that Sean "Jane Fonda renewed" Penn can sell out.

I can here it now....."Hey Dude, you just gave me a secret message in my pizza....sure glad you wrote it on rolling paper so I can smoke it....and no, I won't tell anyone that you are here, it might provoke a rescue attempt and we couldn't have that, it might hurt some of these really nice Iraqis that feed you every other day"

Could we have one of our smart bombs go astray?

We join our hero in a secret underground bunker, somewhere near Baghdad....

Sean Penn: Good evening, President Saddam. I am Sean Penn from Hollywood in the United States and I'm pleased that you would see me. (Sean offers a handhshake)

Saddam: Spiccoli! Fast Times! Heyyyy, yeah! Hah! hah! (Saddam slaps Penn on the back and hugs him, a long, sweaty Arabic hug)

Penn: Well... yeah, but...

Saddam: 'Dude, I am sooooooo wasted!' Hah! Hah! Come. I want you to be for eating dinner with me tonight!" (Saddam motions to an aide in the wings) You! Get me chicken wings and cous cous. And get weed! Tonight we get 'wasted,' eh Spiccoli? Hah! hah!

Penn: You don't understand Mr. President. That's just a character in a movie I, I ... I'm an actor AND an activist, sir. I'm here to ..."

Saddam: Barbra Streisand send you, no? She always pester me with e-mail. I got her blocked as spammer.... (He pauses in thought) Hmmm... Streisand... you think Jew?

Penn: No, no... I'm here to apply pressure to the Administration by bringing attention to the senseless drumbeat of war ...

Saddam: She must be stinking Jew. Big nose. ... Hey! You marry Maddonna! Hah hah! What you thinking?!? Hah hah!

Penn: Yeah.... See, we don’t want to see innocent Iraqis die due to American aggression and we think if you’ll just hear our suggestions, we may be able to help you avert this coming war.

Saddam: Avert?!? Why avert?!? I need this war to prove American dogs imperialist puppets for Zionist master. So... How is Madonna... you know, boom boom? Rodman say she like fish. (Saddam places one hairy arm around Penn and they begin to walk away)

Penn: But if there's war, people will die! Innocent...

Saddam: Ehhh. What ever. I got more people. (He stops and turns to Penn) Hey! You bring surfboard?!? Ya! I have palace on Tigris! We go now! ... You! Chicken wings!
