Sean Penn Not Endorsing Obama, Wants To Smoke

"I don't have a candidate I'm supporting and I'm certainly interested and excited by the hope that Barack Obama is inspiring. I hope that he will understand, if he is the nominee, the degree of disillusionment that will happen if he doesn't become a greater man than he will ever be," Penn said. "This is the most important election, certainly in my lifetime, and maybe ever."

Penn also stated that he felt that Obama had a "phenomenally inhuman and unconstitutional" voting record.

Penn's other concern at Cannes is that the French won't let him smoke. He said he'd been discouraged from smoking in public places due to France's recent ban. As he was saying this, bitch lit up a coffin nail and chain-smoked through the rest of the press conference. This is a guy who lives in a trailer, shoots guns and took a dinghy into New Orleans after Katrina. He's all about a Jack London/Ernest Hemingway/Dennis Hopper f*cked up on acid lifestyle.
