"Sean Penn's attempt to sail to the rescue of young victims of Hurricane Katrina has foundered.
The actor apparently forgot to plug a hole in the bottom of his boat, which began to take on water as soon as it was launched.
Things then got worse - the boat's motor failed and those on board had to start rowing.
And then the final straw: bystanders eyeing off the massive entourage on the boat - it even included a personal photographer for Penn - taunted the actor: 'How are you going to get any people in that thing?'"
What an idiot.

What????????????Here's another site's version (OK, turns out it wasn't the plug after all :)):
"OSCAR-winning actor SEAN PENN's well-intentioned attempt to save children from the floods of New Orleans, Louisiana, failed miserably when his decrepit boat started leaking dangerously.
The MYSTIC RIVER star, who was desperate to do "whatever I can to help", reportedly forgot to fix a hole in the rescue vessel, which promptly started sinking as he furiously scooped water out of the boat with a plastic cup.
Penn allegedly attracted criticism from onlookers when they saw the boat was already crammed with Penn's entourage - including a photographer - before any flood victims climbed onboard.
One onlooker said, "How are you going to get any people in that thing?"

i can appreciate the fact he is willing to help out.. only he is doing it for all the wrong reasons.. just another attention *****.

I'm sure cocaine had something to do with his decision too.

Is that his big bailing device? A cup? Lame.

I think a bucket would have been a better choice :boxed: :)

[LUVNLIFE]

Would you really want Jeff Spicoli trying to rescue you :idea: :D

[SmokinLowriderSS]

Yep, Sean's an idiot. Proof positive. Anything to keep him in the limelight.

Another actor who thinks the world cares WTF he says. He's a dumb shit with too much money. Great actor and great asshole.
He should stick to acting and let other, more intelligent people do the thinking and talking.

... and let other, more intelligent people do the thinking and talking....and rescuing! :cool:

Anyone else notice he's got body armor on?

[framer1]

I'm sorry, but the guy, and I use the term loosely is the biggest POS this side of the Mississippi. Baling a boat with a cup, where the director when you need him ;)

[FunOnTheWater]

what an Idiot :sqeyes:

[Desert Rat]

It's all new to the POS. After all he didn't need a boat in Iran :mad:

[Boy Named Sue]

Anyone else notice he's got body armor on?
Is that what he has on? I noticed he's in like a 12 ft 3-4 person skiff, the 20 oz. solos must have been for the party they were gonna have once they got around the point out of view. I can see 3 peeps in the boat that are in frame.

[STV_Keith]

Is that what he has on?
Yeah, probably worried about receiving some "thank you's" from the people he says he wants to save.

[Debbolas]

With all his "crew" why is he the only one bailing? I understand the photographer has to be "hands free" to take pics, but what about the buddies standing around? :confused:
Not the smartest frog on the log :D
