We Can Now Officially Knock Off the Sean Penn is a Hero Chatter

"Oops, Sorry. I was just thinking about myself."

New York Times - The actor Sean Penn said he has “a terrible regret” that the capture of the Mexican drug lord known as El Chapo has distracted from his article in Rolling Stone, which he had hoped would start a national conversation about the war on drugs.

“My article has failed,” Mr. Penn told the CBS host Charlie Rose in an interview to be broadcast Sunday on “60 Minutes.” An excerpt was released Friday.

Mr. Penn denied that his meeting with Mr. Guzmán had contributed to his subsequent capture. He said he believed the Mexican government said it had tracked his visit in part because they wanted to blame him and to encourage the cartel to put him in their cross hairs.

“There is this myth about the visit that we made, my colleagues and I, with El Chapo, that it was — as the Attorney General of Mexico is quoted — ‘essential’ to his capture,” Mr. Penn said. “We had met with him many weeks earlier, on October 2nd, in a place nowhere near where he was captured.”

So for those who don't know, I hate Sean Penn. Like legitimately hate him. He's probably my least favorite American. He believes knows that his opinion should could more than yours because he has been to Iraq. Please tell us more, Sean.

Last Saturday night, the story about Penn's interviewing the mass-murdering drug lord broke, and I fired off this Tweet which consequently showed everything that is wrong with America from both sides. Delusional leftists believed that said murder indeed demanded more respect that a Republican and delusional right wingers somehow brought Obama into the discussion. What a world!

However, the occasional person dropped the note that Penn's interview was directly related to the capture of Guzman and that Penn was somewhat of a hero in an "ends justify the means". I'm a results-oriented guy, so I had to bite my tongue on that one.

Well not any more. Suck it Twitter. He was no hero. He had met Guzman months before and not peep came from it. He had no intention whatsoever of bringing this man to justice. Quite the opposite really, he wanted to further his own agenda because that's what he does. Wise and all-knowing Sean knows best. He's not a hero. He's a raging narcissist. The world can now go back to as it was.
