Default Sean Penn

Why couldn't he just go help out in Huston like all the others? Just Penn and his photographer for some media attention. Unfortunately it did not work out too well. He forgot to put the plug in the boat...

I am not downing a man for helping... well actually I am because just another publicity stunt in my opinion why else take a photographer in a super small boat to rescue people. I actually had a good laugh over it.

Sean Penn's rescue bid sinks
From correspondents in New Orleans
05sep05

EFFORTS by Hollywood actor Sean Penn to aid New Orleans victims stranded by Hurricane Katrina foundered badly overnight, when the boat he was piloting to launch a rescue attempt sprang a leak.

Penn had planned to rescue children waylaid by Katrina's flood waters, but apparently forgot to plug a hole in the bottom of the vessel, which began taking water within seconds of its launch.
The actor, known for his political activism, was seen wearing what appeared to be a white flak jacket and frantically bailing water out of the sinking vessel with a red plastic cup.

When the boat's motor failed to start, those aboard were forced to use paddles to propel themselves down the flooded New Orleans street.

Asked what he had hoped to achieve in the waterlogged city, the actor replied: "Whatever I can do to help."

With the boat loaded with members of Penn's entourage, including a personal photographer, one bystander taunted the actor: "How are you going to get any people in that thing?"

Default Re: Sean Penn

Why wasn't one of his hired hands bailing?
