The Quotable Sean Penn

February 23rd, 2009, by Mike Tidmus

“For those who saw the signs of hatred as our cars drove in tonight, I think it’s a good time for those who voted for the ban against gay marriage to sit and reflect on their great shame and their shame in their grandchildren’s eyes if they continue that support. We’ve got to have equal rights for everyone.”

— Sean Penn, actor and activist, from his acceptance speech
at the 2009 Academy Awards for Best Actor for his role in Milk

    Sean Penn for governor!

    (seriously, why not? We’ve had much worse, and as long as the governor has to be an actor…)

  2. Mike Tidmus says:

    Shhhh with the actor stuff. Gary Coleman might decide to toss his diminutive hat into the ring again. Don’t encourage him.

    The pea-brained, pro-H8 Meg Whitless is bad enough a possibility.

  3. Christopher says:

    Peter is correct! Sean Penn for California governor.

    Why didn’t I think of this???

  4. Mike Tidmus says:

    I’m directly behind both of you!!
