Mr. Penn, welcome to the real world. BTW, you might want to bring better gear next time.
Is this guy going to run for office soon? Like his recent trip through Iran, it seems he is trying to gather as much press for himself and politicizing as possible these days. It seems pretty designed.

My comments wouldn't be polite and definitely the not taking the highroad.

Well there you go. The world is safe once again.
Where's one of those sniping looters when you really need one?

Agree with the above, but at least he was willing to get off his backside and do something, rather than sit around the pool sipping champagne and badmouthing the government for doing nothing, the police for shooting looters, etc.
Here's my highly unpopular 2 cents.... New orleans....average elevation -8 ft. Now knowing that you live below sea level....and are in a hurricane prone area....Why are there all the calls for federal funds to rebuild? I dunno, maybe common sense is dead, but using tax payer dollars to rebuild a city that is below sea level isn't exactly the brightest thing in the world....maybe it's just me.

I don't know. Penn took his photographer, his entourage and apparently a reporter from Rolling Stone along for the ride. Contrast this with Travolta, who leased a jet and started flying in massive amounts of supplies with no photographer or entourage in tow. Travolta's personal contribution is worth millions, I'm not sure what Penn did. Some reports say he managed to get some people off their houses before springing a leak. But frankly he would have been more helpful dipping into his savings and giving money.
Also, while Travolta is delivering badly needed medical supplies Penn is taking the opportunity to quip and moan about the "criminal negligence" of the feds. I am deeply suspicious of the man's motivations.

Can anyone say photo-op?
If Mr. Penn really wanted to do something that would help, he should've written an obscenely large check.

Maybe he is going to run for president some day. Those liberals always seem to have a photographer handy to capture their exploits on film. Didn't that Kerry feller have a photographer follow him around in some Asian country where he won 3 purple hearts? He said he was in Thailand or Laos or some place like that.

If he'd have shown up without a photographer and reporter then I'd believe he sincerely wanted to help.
As it is, I think he was there for the photo-op and to politicize the event.
Shameful Mr. Penn, shameful.
