Hit the beach!: Sean Penn tries daring but futile #5 beach landing (via Instapundit):
"Movie star and political activist Penn, 45, was in the collapsing city to aid stranded victims of flooding sparked by Hurricane Katrina, but the small boat he was piloting to launch a rescue attempt sprang a leak.
"The outspoken actor had planned to rescue children waylaid by the deadly waters, but apparently forgot to plug a hole in the bottom of the vessel, which began taking water within seconds of its launch. . . ."
Hub Blog's response -- Too much, too much. Shouldn't be laughing. ... But sarcasm is usually better than anger. ... Gen. Paul Krugman must be pulling his hairs out at this point.
FYI: Following is an abbreviated argumentative points list for those keeping track of the Katrina ideological blame game: 1.) Act of God. 2.) Blame pols for pre-storm levee work etc. 3.) Post-storm fair-game criticism. 4.) Blame locals 5.) Blame Bush.
