Rolling Stone -As Bush leaves office, do you have anything nice to say about him?
Sean Penn - No. I truly think the man should be imprisoned for the rest of his life. I know that sounds like some lefty thing, but I think the state of accountability is a sham. It's one of my biggest problems with Barack Obama. When Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon, a lot of people were upset about it, but then when Ford died, these Democrats who'd once criticized Ford for that pardon suddenly had these revisionist opinions: "We needed to be unified." But long term, do you think Bush and Cheney would have gone to the trough like they did if Nixon had gone to jail? No. So when Barack Obama came out militantly opposed not only to impeachment but censuring, I thought, "What the fuck is that for accountability?" Yes, I do think that Obama is a deeply elegant, bright, human person who gives a shit and can do it, who can actually help change the world. But I don't know yet if all of us are going to do our part.

Tudo bons rapazes, aqueles dos óscares. O Sean Penn é capaz de ser o tipo mais hipócrita, defendendo sempre que pode o ambiente, mas nunca abrindo mão dos seus luxos. Por outro lado, veja-se o contexto em que Penn fez a referência a Mickey Rourke quando recebeu o prémio

Genial!
Esse Penn também devia dar com os costados lá dentro, não só pela hipocrisia destes famosos amantes parasitários das causas alter-globalizantes (como Bono Vox e outros) como pela promoção da violência e desculpabilização dos criminosos que alguns dos seus filmes promovem.
