The Ex Mr. Madonna

Yeah, I have beloved friends, all of 'em all coo-cooing today about Sean Penn last night. Here's a different take:
AND FOR BEST SUPERCILIOUS GASBAG…

Let’s say you believe that gay marriage should be legalized and you want to convince those among your fellow Americans who have reservations. It seems to me the wisest, most effective course would be to assume the opposition to be people of good will with real concerns and to argue your position before them forcefully but reasonably. Now let’s say you’re a narcissistic windbag who wants to parade yourself in front of people who agree with you as an icon of crusading righteousness when you’re really just a violent lowlife who idolizes dictators and tyrants while attacking your own country. Ah, then you would be Sean Penn. Winning an admittedly deserved Oscar for an excellent performance in Milk, Penn used his time at the podium to declare everyone who doesn’t support his cause hateful and shameful, a disgrace to their grandchildren. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Leftists are always talking about diversity but if you disagree with them—you’re a monster. What a schmuck!
Oh, you missed Penn? Find it on YouTube. Nah, I won't link you. Do your own goddamned search.
And they actually wonder why we don't watch this tripe any more. Can they hear? Can they be that blinded? Or worse yet, do they think we cannot hear? Or think?
I'm just saying.
Thanks, Andrew Klaven. Read the whole thing here.
Klavan's books here.
Need more showbiz Penn-head intellect? Don't miss this. And, here ya go. Too bad you skipped college, Spicoli.
Notice Klavan can write a coherent paragraph. Penn can't. But he feels the right things. Guess that's what matters.
