That is the title of a Doug Powers column. Here is the first part of it:
Not long ago, Sean Penn traveled to Venezuela for a visit with that nation's president, Hugo Chavez, whose office obviously has a goal of hosting more leftist American celebrities than Spago.
The ideals of Chavez, along with Fidel Castro and others, have become political flight simulators or sorts for on-the-road whiffle-brained celebs who want to toy with communism but will never commit to boarding the actual plane.
Sure, Chavez claims he isn't a communist – but then again, Hillary Clinton also claims that national health care isn't socialized medicine. You know what they say: "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and seizes and redistributes assets of other ducks and fines or imprisons the ducks who refuse to take part…"
Why was Sean Penn in Venezuela? To figure out how to put America back on the left track. In the high-level meeting, one of the world's greatest actors – along with Penn – presumably tried to figure out how to keep George W. Bush from bringing further fascism to the United States and using the war and thirst for oil to extend his evil tenure beyond constitutional limits.
Then, just days after that important meeting, Chavez, lauded by some in the American left as a model of democratic leadership, did what all democratically elected officials do and overhauled that nation’s constitution which could culminate in Chavez being president of Venezuela for life.
The fact that Penn can say "We have a dictatorship in this country" (the USA) and then go stand side by side with Hugo Chavez to laud the perfect system without being hit by lightning is a true test of our faith.
Now that Chavez has declared himself president for life and shut down any opposing opinions in the Venezuelan media, Chavez rump-smoochers from Hollywood will have plenty of time to discuss with Hugo the best way to go about bringing that brand of freedom and democracy to the United States and the rest of the world.
Viva la boneheads!
