Heartbreaking, but I guess it's not as much fun as ridiculing Sean Penn.

Your hypocracy is beyond beliefe. It is OK for the newspapers to endlessly speculate on who is at it fault instead of focusing on the human tragedy but not OK to tell a funny story about a Hollywood star. Are you saying every news report about New Orleans has be be about the human tragedy? In addition, do we end all cartoons and sportspages while the "crisis" is on. This is not a waste of "electrons". News media outlets are a business and they need to sell their product.
The market will decide if Sean Penn's story is something people want to read about. But if you are going to cloak you defense of Sean Penn as a worry about the focus of the story you need to critisize any story that focuses on anything other than the "human tragedy".
No one is buying it. You had a knee jerk protective reaction to protect this bozo and I don't know why I am complaining because it is the people on your side of the fence's inability to critisize these fruit loops that keeps the Republicans in power.
