Love Sean Penn or loathe him, you have to at least admire any modern movie star harboring any degree of spontaneity or candor in an otherwise hypersensitive, overcalculated celebrity culture. (To say nothing of having the distinction of having been in both a Terrence Malick film and Scarlett Johansson's pants at the same time; the man is nothing if not a tireless striver for the American Dream.) Penn's latest flare-up occurred in the middle of an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan, to whom the two-time Oscar winner ranted about the prominence of the Tea Party -- or, in Penn's delectable neologic parlance, the "Get the N-Word Out of the White House" Party.
I'm sure this will go over incredibly well with Penn's right-wing targets. Cue the Big Hollywood takedown in 3... 2...
