Hillary Clinton got an endorsement from the vital ham-faced demographic

Sean Penn has been suspiciously quiet for a few months. Perhaps he’s been prepping his follow-up interview with El Chapo, who knows? But he appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert last week, and he ended up giving an endorsement to Hillary Clinton. I’m a little bit surprised by this? Penn is political, obviously, and he definitely falls on the progressive/liberal/almost-socialist side of the political realm. I thought he would probably be a Bernie or Bust guy, or trying to convince people to vote for Jill Stein. But no! He thinks we should vote for Hillary Clinton. Meaning Hillary just scored a very important endorsement from the all-powerful ham-faced demographic.

Sean Penn rarely makes late night appearances but he stopped by The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to promote the audiobook he narrated, Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff. Apart from the book, Penn and Colbert talked about the recent presidential debate, with Penn saying he didn’t watch it because he feels it was more of a “social debate” than a political one. He elaborated by saying the author of his audio book, Pappy Pariah, described the current election in a way that impacted how Penn sees it.

“There are two options: Either you can decide to divorce yourself from loving your children and piss on a tree and show that you have the power to piss on a tree,” said Penn, “Or you can go out and vote in a very big way for someone like Hillary Clinton — who then you can challenge and support which is the only way that any kind of president can have any success — and you stick it out for four years, or we can just masturbate our way into hell with a guy who looks like the only blonde magician.”

Colbert responded by laughing and saying that if Penn is referring to Trump, he doesn’t think he can “masturbate his way into hell” because his hands are too small.

“Proportional match,” responded Penn with a smile.

I’m including the clip below – it also features Colbert signing Penn up for Twitter. As for the endorsement… it’s strangely agreeable for Hillary – “who then you can challenge and support which is the only way that any kind of president can have any success” is a very pragmatic view about how our political system works. I also think Penn’s self-aware enough to know that his endorsement doesn’t really help a candidate, which is why he’s not offering some full-throated defense of all things Hillary-related.

PS… On a more serious note, LeBron James also endorsed Hillary Clinton this weekend. You can read some of his endorsement here.

    A+++ headline, Kaiser. I snorted internally.

    • Little Darling says:

      I came to say the SAME THING. Cold brew lodged out of my nose, I don’t think I’ve ever read a header more fitting for Sean Penn. Well done Kaiser, you slam dunked that one!

  2. Penelope says:

    Actually, he’s looking better than he has in a while imo.

  3. mia girl says:

    I think I might be ham-faced intolerant because I just can’t stomach this guy.

    • Little Darling says:

      I’m with you girl. I’ve got grade A epi-pen needed allergies to Ham Penn. I always have.

    • Justjj says:

      Ham faced was pretty apt! Still laughing over here. I know everyone is all like he’s so method and deep and such the powerful humanitarian voice and all but does anyone else think he’s kinda full of sh*t? I do.

  4. Bridget says:

    Can that man even put together a coherent sentence?

  5. LinaLamont says:

    I agree with what he said. Too bad it’s Penn that made this good point.

    I hate when I have to agree with an asshole. 🙁

    • Esmom says:

      I was going to say the exact same thing. He may not love Hillary but knows she is the only sane choice. And “proportional match” was pretty funny.

  6. HH says:

    I’ve never been a big Sean Penn fan, but he is a POS to me. It was his son that called a paparazzo an N-word. I’m assuming they felt like they were being harassed. SP did NOTHING. I don’t care how old my son was, he or I would have gone back out to apologize.

    • Chinoiserie says:

      It is not the parents responsibility to apologize for their chiders behavior unless they are toddlers. I do not like Penn but that does not make someone a pos. It is not like his son hurt someone .

      • HH says:

        His son called this man and “F-ing N-word” and a “F-ing F-word”. If my child exhibited THAT behavior, I absolutely would apologize if my child was too stubborn to do it himself. I wouldn’t want to leave anyone with the impression that I condone and/or wasn’t deeply troubled by such behavior. Furthermore, given that it was said to a specific individual, I certainly wouldn’t want that person to feel dehumanized. His son was a teen. Racism and bigotry are learned behaviors. Given what we know of Penn, I have no doubt at least some of it was learned at home.

        RE: “It’s not like his son hurt someone.” — If you’re of the mindset that physical violence always outweighs verbal and emotional/mental abuse, then I’m in strong disagreement. Bruises heal in a way that “invisible scars” do not. Being called a slur stays with you in a way that some physical harm does not.

    But why oh why is he so red??

  8. Betti says:

    I have no time for this guy – he’s a douche albeit a talented one. He was hot back in the day but he hasn’t aged well.

  9. Kelly says:

    I like Sean Penn. He is super talented and makes a good point.
