Lifestyles of the rich and famous Communists

douglasdk271001

Not that I’m fond of class struggle, but isn’t it ironic that Hollywood millionaire Sean Penn is visiting Caracas with Hugo Chavez, and Michael Douglas is touring Old Havana after visiting with Raul Castro.

Sean was in Cuba at the expense of Vanity Fair and the Huffington Post, who apparently had him interview Fidel Castro.

Liberals must have irony-poor blood.

    Greetings:

    It’s good to see that Mr. Penn has recovered from the loss of his fellow pacifist, Saddam Hussein.

    My favorite Penn anecdote comes from the time of the aforementioned pacifism- based relationship. Mr. Penn was lunching in Berkeley, across the San Francisco Bay from his Marin County home, when some enterprising wealth-redistributor’s eye came to rest on his hot rod. In two winks of that eye, Mr. Penn’s carbon spewing personal transportation device was gone. In his subsequent police report, Mr. Penn indicated that there had been a brace of pistols in his vehicles trunk. Not your father’s pacifism.

    But often the hard-headed megalomania of Adrienne Huffington shines through and that cold little capitalist heart glows like that first briquette in a barbeque grill. Who better to get a ton of publicity for her site then the intellectually challenged Sean Penn. He gets to pose as someone who sees “The Light,” Castro gets a sympathetic and certainly not to difficult propaganda piece, her rabid fans are cheered and her site gets that tiny gloss of seriousness. That is until one reads the comments.
