I'm not sure which is worse: Sean Penn hoping his critics die screaming of rectal cancer, or CBS News's Lara Logan finding that funny.

As NewsBusters previously reported, CBSNews.com on Friday posted a preview of an interview to be broadcast on "Sunday Morning."

In it, Logan asked Penn, "Does it make you angry when people talk about, you know, 'Sean Penn, the Hollywood star, the movie star, coming in and trying to do something,' and they're kind of cynical about it?"

Penn arrogantly answered, "You know, do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah" (video embedded below the fold with transcript):

LARA LOGAN: Does it make you angry when people talk about, you know, 'Sean Penn, the Hollywood star, the movie star, coming in and trying to do something,' and they're kind of cynical about it?

SEAN PENN: No.

LOGAN: Do you hate that question?

PENN: No. I guess I've been so away from it all, [in] our tent camp in Haiti, that I haven't had an awful lot of time to pay attention to them. You know, do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah, you know, but I'm not going to spend a lot of energy on it.

Isn't that a special treat for your Sunday morning?

I mean, it's bad enough CBS actually thinks viewers are interested in what this pompous buffoon has to say about anything.

But wouldn't it be wise of them to edit out this segment when he's wishing his critics would die, and one of their high-profile reporters is laughing after he says it?

Of course, if they were at all embarrassed about the disgusting behavior on display, CBSNews.com wouldn't have previewed the exchange at its website. 

Well, CBS - I'm one of Sean Penn's critics. Do you want ME to die screaming of rectal cancer?

Somehow I imagine not liking the answer.

Hey asswipe

I may die of something else but it ain't going to be rectal cancer. I got checked for it yesterday.  He is so much like his character in Fast Times at Ridgemont High-Spicoli wasn't it.

I really doubt he is getting his hands dirty like the men and women of our military are. I bet he does not have to eat meals ready to eat either. All these celebrities going to Haiti should stay of the hell out of the way and let those who know how to handle things like this do their jobs. It is nothing but photo ops anyway.

All these celebrities going to Haiti should stay of the the way,

much like a Secretary of State, who shows up with 25 satellite phones?  Meanwhile she diverts much needed security people to her, who could be helping stem the looting, or deliver needed supplies. Nothing says the people of the US care like "hey, look at me, I'm here". 

Look At Me Too!

I wonder if Hillary ran into John Edwards down there, or has he already slithered on back home?

 I  am trying my best to forget about the Silky Pony. The next thing I want to hear about him is that the federal grand jury in Raleigh has brought indicments against him.

The only thing.......

....about wishing  destruction on your critics/enemies, is that what you wish for them is apt to happen to you.

It is more than possible that the very wish will come back to smack you right in the face...in penn's case then, cancer of the anus that will begin growing where his face should be...

sean penn......assface.....

 

Looking forward to November...this year !

So in future posts, may I

So in future posts, may I refer to him as Sean "Assface" Penn?

Hey, at least when you google it, this time it will produce results.

Hey guys,

Look at comment #19

Heee heee! It could be any day now, and it will be fun!

In all fairness......

...Lara Logan has  a nice set of hooters....

I wonder how she would feel if they began rotting off the front of her??

You figure she'd laugh then???

 

Looking forward to November...this year !!

I was going to put "Hey Sh!thead" as my subject.

 

I just figuered this out...They want to be anoited the winner by popular vote. (See global warming, Gitmo, water bording, health )thats why that want their enemies to " go away already" or die from rectal cancer.  They don't have the inteligence to debate, they have the intlect to ridicule.    It's easier to win a vote when the voters don't have any one else to vote  for.

 

Conservitves want the public to see their enemies out in the open.   a conservitives knows in an open fair debate he/she will win every time.   Conservitives want to their enemies front and center for all to see when they are soundly beaten.

 

 

 

Even the Bible argees  Psalm 109:8 "Let his days be few; and let another take office."

Sean Penn and Cancer

You know.......I've had cancer and I have family and friends who have suffered and died from cancer. I don't approve of Sean Penn, I don't believe in his politics of the way he thinks, but I wouldn't wish the unfathomable pain and sorrow of cancer on him or any of my "enemies!" I've heard him talk before and I just wish he would think before he spoke. I believe Sean Penn is 'Colossal Heap of Ignorance" and should be ignored by all!

Unfortunate A Conservative Didn't Say It

or Katie Couric would be all over him.  It's is insensitive and I have lost family to colon cancer...it IS miserable and it IS not anything to wish on another living person.  But....sadly...he will get a pass because he is a liberal jerk.  Again...the bias is blinding....the very people who claim to care so much more because they are liberal...say the cruelest and vilest things and get to walk.

It's even worse than that, Googler

He wished such suffering on mere "critics"....not enemies, the arrogant knucklehead.  Just people who cricized him.  Wow.

I wouldn't wish anything on the few people I despise most in this world, other than to be hoist upon their own petards. 

Glad to hear you're on the mend. 

I hope he fails, too.

Read Between the Lines

Sean is not fully understanding the fundamental concept of being a liberal; NOT CARING ABOUT ANY ONE BUT YOURSELF while giving award-winning performances for portraying PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY DO.  It's called ACTING!!!  

 

HOWEVER....He's paying waaaaaaaay too much attention to the anus NOT to be telling us something about WHERE HE'S HURTING the most.

Sean

Be careful what you wish for. You never know what your future holds and God has a serious sense of irony.

Gotta Keep In Mind....

he doesn't believe in God...therefore He does not exist.  If he is struck down it will be Bush's fault or the TEA Party movement.  

Countmein

You're right. What better way to impress a non-believer than to visit on them their own curses and wishes.

"Hey Sean, this is God. I have a way of causing things to happen so that you can't deny me. Watch this............."

Just because he doesn't BELIEVE in God

Doesn't mean that God won't perform His miracles.  In this case, Sean might want to re-evaluate his wishes upon his enemies.  Sometimes I think God has a wicked sense of humor.  Just sayin'.

He is on dangerous ground

wishing for this on another person is not only incredibly stupid but....

He who is glad at calamity shall not be held innocent or go unpunished. Prov. 17:5

 

Some might call it Karma.

Another

legend in his own mind who ate waaaayyyy too many paint chips as a child.

Penn. another disgusting smear against humanity

I wonder.. has anyone actually put together a good concise bulleted list of these comments; from elected officials (Pete Stark comes to mind), from the MSM, and from these activist quacks, like Penn and Maher?

Simply look right here today:

Penn: You know, do I hope that those people die screaming of rectal cancer? Yeah

Chris Matthews: Matthews interrupted with a laugh, "So, this [Liz Cheney] is Daughter of Dracula

Bill Maher:  we can only ask why, why, why couldn't it have been Glenn Beck [who got shot and killed]?"

Michael Moore: 250,000 killed in Haiti because it's an unregulated Republican paradise.

If we go back a few years it's going to read like War and Peace - without the Peace.

Hey, liberal trolls who are

Hey, liberal trolls who are reading the above post... I dare you to compile your own lists.  It won't even compare, will it?

Recall the tolerant and compassionate Alec Baldwin's quote on TV about Rep. Hyde's involvement with Bubba's impeachment:

"I’m
thinking to myself if we were in other countries, we would all, right
now, all of us together, . . . would go down to Washington and we would
stone [Republican U.S. Representative] Henry Hyde to death! We would
stone him to death! Wait! . . . Shut up! No, shut up! I’m not finished.
We would stone Henry Hyde to death, and we would go to their homes and
we’d kill their wives and their children. We would kill their families.”

"Somehow, I told you so, just doesn't quite say it." Will Smith in 'I, Robot.'

Yep, can liberals gather all

Yep, can liberals gather all the quotes that Sarah Palin has thrown at liberals that are just as abusive? Nope!

I hope noone on the left get

I hope noone on the left get rectal cancer, it would be dangerously close to their brain! Sorry, someone would have said it eventually.

Penn Is Safe

Penn isn't likely to die from rectal cancer. He'll spot it early because of his frequent visual inspections of that area.

(Great minds think alike, Ant. This was the first thing that came to mind when Penn and rectal were mentioned in the same sentence.)

Knowing Lara Logan's

Knowing Lara Logan's history, this interview was foreplay.

"I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."  -George Best

Is this Logan the same one

Is this Logan the same one who was suffering from so many incoming missles in Iraq? Some of which were launched by her married colleagues. 

Captain, yeah

the same one, another lib woman of impeccable moral character.  She gives new meaning to the term, free fire zone. 

I'm glad Penn is helping the Haitians

It would be nice if he stays there for another 20 years and turns the place into the socialist paradise of his deams. Good luck with that!

For all of his rhetoric...

...and love of socialism, I wonder how Spicolo feels about his socialist buddies, Chavez and Castro, giving virtually NOTHING to the Haitian cause.

 Does he think that they should die a horrible death for their lack of compassion and help?

Liberalism is dying, and what you are hearing is the death rattle.

 

President Obama is nothing more than a lying empty suit; a Hollywood
style special effects smoke and mirrors show that has shown itself to
be a total fraud.
 

WAKE UP AMERICA! SAVE OUR CONSTITUTION! 

cause to be cynical?

Good for Penn to give some aid at a place that it's needed and where most regular folks haven't the werewithal to travel.  I'll believe it's truly altruistic next time, though, if you do something without giving media interviews about it.  With stalking paparazzi you can't go without being noticed.  But stop blowing a trumpet while you're helping and people might believe it's not still about you.

No sound on cbs

Luckily ,my tv does not broadcast the sound on the cbs channel.Thought about buying another ,but really why? It's only cbs.

~Hmm

I'm not generally one to comment on anyone's looks, but that pic of Sean Penn..well, he looks remarkably like something a cat fished out of a dumpster. I actually washed my screen to see if I had dirt smudges on it right there..

Is the scruffy look back in style or something?

It is probably the makeup

It is probably the makeup you use to make you look like you have been working. He is an actor you know. Not a good one but an actor.

Semper superne nitens 

What in God's name is wrong with these leftist freaks???

The vile spewed from that toxic hole under his nose is evil! However, it should not be shocking to anyone that he would say such a thing. People with the type of mental disorder Penn obviously has are entirely predictable. I think the more it becomes evident to the left that the public is waking up to the tactics of socialists and communists and that sane people are completely repelled by this sort of hateful garbage, the more desperate they become and the more insane they will behave. Get ready for even more intense hatred from Penn and his vermin ilk.

Another hateful disgusting

Another hateful disgusting liberal with nothing intelligent to say. But rest assured, he means his curse- from what I heard from actual witnesses, he was very indifferent at his own brother's funeral, he certainly holds us in disdain.

Penn has always been a weird dude...

We've always known that...I think it's safe to say though, that he is now just plain nuts, and he seems to have a fascination with a certain part of the human anatomy. He's a bitter, angry, politically radical loon, who apparently has no problem wishing a horrendous death upon those who dare to disagree with or criticize him. Penn is now in the same category as Maher, in that regard.

As for CBS and it's response to this stream of invective, one can only hope that this bit of the interview will be edited out when it runs tomorrow morning, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

Dear Spicolli,

Karma's a bitch!

Remember when Ronald Reagan was president, we also had Bob Hope and Johnny Cash still with us...
now we have Obama and no hope and no cash.

 

Pay no attention to Sean,

Pay no attention to Sean, this happens whenever he speaks without a script. (Amazing resemblence to BHO, huh?)

[edit] Fast Times at Ridgemont High is on Encore at 6:30 ET.

Shouldn't he be in jail?

Shouldn't he be in jail?

Don't Know

but his curse involving an anus is pretty insensitive for someone who rode the gravy train to an Academy Award playing a gay activist.  I wouldn't think, after that, he'd still be cursing any one with rectal cancer.  Perez Hilton must be furious.

He should have stayed

He should have stayed married to Madonna - those two weirdos were made for each other...

Sean Penn

Sean Penn needs to come out into the real world where we can disabuse him of the tripe he believes and shave a few inches off that huge ego he's got hanging on him like a big nasty goiter.  What say little sean.......Oh I forgot, big mouth, little gonads.  What do ya expect from a priss with a rectal fixation?

Sean is bordering on

Sean is bordering on sociopathy with this comment.

As a general observation, sociopaths are often quite sociable because they have a constant need to identify and victimize.  Add in a dangerous mix of publicity, notoriety and grandiosity and it is a very disturbing picture.

In many ways, Sean is quite typical of the detached, delusional Hollyweirder.  They have an entire parasitic and sycophantic apparatus built to create and maintain the illusion of their importance in life.  Consider the Hollyweird establishment to be an extreme form of enabling mental illness in its ranks.  The entire entertainment industry can be reduced to a very crude production of Marat/Sade.

Hey Penn

You are a rectal cancer.

That is a insult to rectal cancer everywhere.......  

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe. - Albert Einstein

Not sure what they're really screaming about

Ms. Logan, with her european accent received instant street cred and became another hero of state run media. 

Can't for the life of me figure out why she becomes so giddy when the conversation turns to matters of the butt? 

Just wait...if we're around

Just wait...if we're around long enough we'll one day see Mr. Penn as an aged, old fool and given the Hollywood lifestyle that'll be around when he's in his mid to late '50s...he already looks older than his years in my book.  Perhaps he will succumb to some kind of horrid physical ailment (betting a series of them) as happens with so many people despite their fervent belief that their bodies can take any punishment, or if thinking positively will stay young and healthy forever.

Stuff like this catches up to them all sooner or later...none of them get away with it.  The demons they created (or allowed in) are simpy taking over their mouths, their minds and their souls. The man is stewing with arrogance and hatred and that is not healthy for anyone.

"Under Capitalism, man exploits man.  Under Communism it's just the opposite."

"All that Communism needs to make it successful is for someone to feed and clothe it."

Looks miserable

This guy just oozes misery doesn't he? Every time I see clips of him he looks like he just emerged from hell itself. He's always angry about something too. 

Any wonder he's divorced twice? Bet he's a blast to be around.  

          If his

          If his critics all die of cancer, he will be the only person alive.                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Idiot

Isn't there some passage in the bible that warns against wishing your fellow man harm, because that harm will be visited upon you? While I consider myself a religious person, I have forgotten much of what I read earlier in that Good Book, due to advancing age, I guess. But it's the typical liberal mindset - wish pain, suffering and death upon anyone with different views. Just try to read the Huff-N-Puff Post for 5 minutes (without puking), and it is so evident.
