He's there to help but he's wearing a vest.
I guess he dosen't trust them down there. Nice show of trust for your fellowman Mr I wanna be a samaritan. What a fucking phoney |

Yep, I believe this hits it on the head alright. He isn't afraid of the conservatives, he just doesn't trust his poor downtrodden liberal brothers who are only products of their environment and the "PROLIFERATION OF DEADLY ASSAULT WEAPONS"  |

Kinda like that black celebrity that was at one of the shelters talking to reporters. He had all his security standing in an arc behind him. Maybe he doesn't trust his people?

yeah, he's making himself look like a ass by having a publicity photog with him. If he wants to help he should leave the photographer at home and lose the vest. Fucking publicity whore. |

+1 1 or 2 rubber coated plugs to fit in little cylindrical holes on the inside near the bottom of the stern of a little 14' flat bottomed aluminum boat, is easy enough to see from just about any where near the rear of the boat, already qualifies everyone there as a dumbass for not noticing it. And if the dumbasses could get the motor running it doesn't take much speed for water to just drain out of the plug holes. If the painful thought of shelling out $20 for a decent bilge pump was too much for them to comprehend as a good idea. But I guess that spending $20 for a device that could save your ass or checking the boat before they launched it was too much common sense for them to handle. Typical Holywood $#!+heads. They're almost like the welfare dependent people we have been seeing in the news latley; everything has to be done for their stupid asses. |

Wow, you guys are cruel.
Give Sean a LITTLE credit...he TRIED to help. It may have come off like a bad circus act, but can you really say he had the wrong idea? OK, so he's a little loopy...so what? He does what he thinks he SHOULD. I respect that, even if he's perhaps a wee bit incompetent to pull it off. And sure, he's from the looney end of the political spectrum, but even then...rather than piss, moan, and whine about all the things the right is doing wrong, while doing NOTHING, like the average democrat, he DOES at least make SOME effort to do something RIGHT, or at least, RIGHT as HE sees it. I can't throw too many stones here. I see something respectable in him, something that is totally lacking in most democrats. Besides, he's entertaining! Not only in his movies (and he IS a hell of an actor...), but in real life too, whether he intended to be, or not! CJ |

Ok. I thought it was a gag story. Nobody could be stupid enough to show up, try to "rescue" people, and then use a leaky boat. But the picture says it all. Hey Sean...A bit of friendly advice. The next time you want to show up somewhere to get your face on the news doing "good", how about making sure you take a boat that floats? Surely with all of your money you can afford a boat without a giant hole in it. How such a doofus is married to such a beautiful woman, I will never know. And, not to put too fine a point on it, how many people do you know that genuinely want to help people who take a personal photographer along? The sad thing is that in his sick hollywood mind, showing up and making a self aggrandizing gesture is probably his idea of "helping". Lord spare us from a similar fate. |

I could give dipshit credit for trying to do the right thing if it weren't for a few problems.
1. He brought his photographer to take pictures of him rescueing people. 2. He DIDN'T bring a boat big enough to hold his entourage + rescued people. Look at the boat, where the hell are you going to put people that you save? 3. He's either wearing a cheap vest or his drool guard. 4. Dipshit and crew are going to save people in a cheap boat he just bought and doesn't know how to operate. Need proof? Where's the damn drain plug? 5. he really thinks he can keep the boat a float with 1 plastic cup to bail with? Notice his "buddies" are really helping. I wasn't gong to read this post at first because it had "Sean Penn" in the title. I'm so glad I did. ROFLMAO |

The vest he is wearing is just regular concealable soft body armor with a groin protector flap on it. It only stops pistol rounds though and it is probably a lot less effective if everyone knows you are wearing it and can see the areas it covers highlighted in white.
Add to that it won't stop rifle fire at all (and none of the remaining members of the crew appear to have any armor) and overall it looks like his planning on that level is as good as his seamanship. |

Wonder if he lost his pistol again, fell overboard you know...............SOB had 2 taken from out of his car a few years back as I recall. Guess he'll join the ranks of the "lost em overboard in a boating accident".

Looking at that vest I don't think it's the groin protector, I think that's the tuck in flaps. Too bad Suzanne Sarandon wasn't on that sinking ship with him....

This is too funny. Ten to one the dumb fuck forgot to put the bilge plug(s) in. And what kind of moron doesn't have a manual/electric bilge pump on his boat?
As to the stupid comment "At least he's doing something". Good plan, now he's just another victim that needs to be rescued. The first rule of providing emergency services is don't do anything you're not trained and equipped to do. Penn is a moron. |

Looks like a Sea Ark-Duck Hawk. I've got one, the factory actually covered the water plug up with an aluminum plate...(plug wasn't in, of course). One of the toughest aluminum boats you can buy, some moron almost had to leave the plug out, unless it got looted.

Press conferences are exactly what Bush is supposed to be doing. Penn's job is to STFU, donate money and stay away from the disaster area so the people who have the equipment and training can do their job. |
