Middle East expert to the rescue

Toke up, ladies and gentlemen. Your hero has come to the rescue in Louisiana. All the relevant links and pictures for the man from Iran, the flack from Iraq, and some good humor, can be found here. Far out, dude.

UPDATE (HT: reader Larwyn)

This from Tim Blair:

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.

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?”

    Geez! I think Penn was just filming a Saturday afternoon duck hunting show. He had all the ingredients, duck boat , cameraman,…errr…with his kneeling position, I can only assume he was playing the part of a giant snow goose decoy….errr…or retriever!

    Double your pleasure – Arthur Chrenhoff had this up lastnight – love his title:
    Caravan of fools
    Some things are beyond parody:

    The controversial MP George Galloway, who is to tour America this month accompanied by Jane Fonda, the Hollywood star, will be sharpening his critique of the Iraq war in the light of President George W Bush’s difficulties in coping with the effects of hurricane Katrina…
    (SNIP)
    Winning Fonda’s support is a coup that will raise the MP’s profile in America. Organisers of his tour are hoping that Sean Penn, another leading Hollywood anti-war protester, will join Galloway on stage in Los Angeles.

    You must go here for full article – last paragraph by Chrenkoff is worth the
    trip – guarentee you’ll have not trouble seeing the picture this talented writer
    paints. We will miss him.

    And I am just unable to deal with my sadness that I have to call off the
    “Vegtable Oil for Jane” collection volunteers I had begun to organize for
    March 2006. The Red State Viet Nam Vets are as dissappointed as I am.
    They had so much love to share.

    Please read Chrenkoff’s last paragraph.
