i love this - sean penn on venezuela
Sean Penn: Piano Wire Puppeteers | Counter Punch
Penn on Iran, Russia, Venezuela, and the U.S. constitution.
“What happened to Chavez’s “strong-arming?” His “electoral corruption?” His alleged “gagging of the press?” How in the hell could he have lost? I’m sorry, did I miss something? … Is it possible, I mean I know it’s silly, but is it just a little bit possible that President Chavez is in fact a defender of his people’s Constitution? That, that’s how his referendum could fail? And that that’s why he accepted it with such grace? A constitution which I have read several times. Quite a beautiful document, not dissimilar to our own. You might give it a read. Oh, I forgot – he’s a “drug runner.””
(all right, all right, it's good until he starts relentlessly campaigning for kuchinich. but just ignore that part if you're so inclined :))

please explain your thoughts about kucinich. i haven't heard many negatives about him, besides the fact that most people think he's unelectable. but i haven't really researched him either yet, so if you do have thoughts, i'd like to hear them
