Celebrities make too much money. Subjective, sure, but probably true. Truer still is that very often those fortunes are wasted in inglorious, ill-planned blazes.
But sometimes the millions serve a higher purpose; sixth homes declined in favor of the public that makes a celebrity a celebrity. Yet where are those figures in Star and the National Enquirer?
Screw Birkin bags, time for money that counts: political donations.
Sean Penn
Occupation: "Self employed/Film Director; Actor"
Total of political contributions since 1978: $8,900
Party or PAC: Dem - 100%
Major donations: Dennis Kucinich ($2,300), John Edwards ($4,600)
Political language: "You Misters Bush and Cheney; you Ms. Rice are villainously and criminally obscene people, obscene human beings, incompetent even to fulfill your own self-serving agenda, while tragically neglectful and destructive of ours and our country's."

villainously? good one, Sean.
I'm having deja vu. I swear I read this a week or so ago.
P.S. Other than Alex Baldwin, don't break the effing bank with your donations.
That is so funny Mae, I had the opposite reaction. Basically, "these seem pretty high, what are the caps on donations?" I am just too lazy to look it up to actually answer it for myself, since I am poor and wouldn't be reaching anywhere near a cap amount.
Given the fact that Sean Penn is so damn freaky high on his horse appaulled at the "villians" I would have thought he would have given more money.
blah: don't you know his presence is donation enough. His diatribes are gold. Gold I tell you. LOOK IT UP!!
Sean Penn is SO annoying. Does he ever get tired of being so angry? Whenever I'm mad it takes a lot out of me. He must be exhausted.
Sean Penn is the opposite of cool. The guy is a an actor and is an ok one but I would not want him in politics. He has no idea what the real world is like and throws stones every chance he gets. The guy is a traitor to America in my opinion.

This is more like it. These people have a history of being political-minded. I'm surprised that since 1978, Penn and Sarandon have not given more. Does this include hosting fund-raisers?
