Sean Penn Should Stay Out Of Politics

Sean Penn‘s publicist, Mara Buxbaum, is speaking out in defense of her client.

Penn has been criticized as a “stooge for left-wing dictatorships” as he’s been known to meet with douchebags like Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro and then “write nice things about them.”

If you recall, Penn was even hanging out with Chavez just this past October.

His rep, Buxbaum, says in Penn’s defense that “Sean does not endorse dictators. Like him or not, Hugo Chavez is a democratically elected official.”

She incredulously adds that “Sean is a champion of civil rights.”

Yea, you go Champion!

Despite what his publicist says, Penn continues to praise the Castro and Chavez regime. Sean even said, “Chavez may not be a good man. But he may well be a great one.”

WTF?!?

Buxbaum also stated, you “may not always agree with Sean, who aggressively questions and challenges the status quo in ways that aren’t always polite.” But Sean “asks questions, and questions the answers he gets.”

What do U think of this?
