Sean Penn: Bush Is "A Beelzebub - And A Dumb One"...
Sean Penn: Bush Is "A Beelzebub - And A Dumb One"...
Editor and Publisher | September 12, 2006 at 01:01 PM

Sparks usually fly, from one quarter or another, when actor Sean Penn meets the press, and it happened again this week at a news conference for the Toronto International Film Festival. Chances were greater there as he was touting a long-expected political drama screened there, the re-make of "All the King's Men."

Among the highlights on Sunday, Penn asked photographers to stop snapping so he could hear questions, and he called President Bush "a Beelzebub -- and a dumb one."

Sean! What are you thinking? Re-make 3-Academy-Award winning "All The King's Men"?

17. Beelzebub?
Granted, I wholeheartedly agree with many of Sean Penn's statements, but "beelzebub"? Might as well have called him "poopypants".
