Hey Sean, show us where you dream up all your amazing theories!

Sean Penn appeared on HBO’s Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday and he was in peak form, blathering unintelligibly about the paragon of democratic virtue that is Hugo Chavez (and, implicitly, Fidel Castro):

The collaborative opportunity in Haiti, when you talk about Hugo Chavez, and some of the other people who are demonized, and you know, when some of these countries accuse us of an occupation — where I believe this was strictly a humanitarian action by the United States military, and an incredible one – I’m a little sympathetic. Because every day, this elected leader is called a dictator here, and we just accept it! And accept it. And this is mainstream media, who should – truly, there should be a bar by which one goes to prison for these kinds of lies.

Yes, throw them in jail. Just like George W. Bush, Condoleeza Rice, Dick Cheney and George Tenet (in another clip from Real Time):

Perhaps his eagerness to toss people he disagrees with in jail is borne of envy for his totalitarian friends in Cuba and Venezuela– who have little trouble doing just that.
