Sean Penn Defends Hugo Chavez

Ever reliable little leftist Sean Penn defends Venezuelan Presidente for Life Hugo Chavez on Letterman's show. Penn claims that the crazy little dictator is doing what he does for the benefit of "80%" of the country's people. Sure he is. I guess the pictures we're seeing over the wire of students being shot and firehosed by Chavez's goons for protesting his latest assaults on Venezuelan freedom represent only 20% of the population. Just a few agitators. Penn discounts reports of Chavez's shutting down the country's main opposition TV station by claiming the station was calling for assasination of the portly little despot. Penn is running media interference for his Red shirted running buddy. Nothing to see here folks. Move along.
