“Penn takes the direct opposite side from his government and country”
That’s not a problem. I do it all the time. ALL the time.
Penn’s problem is he’s an idiot. (Fine actors are frequently just a splurge of emotion and empathy. You want superhot steam in a calliope. You don’t want it under your desk with the PC and the genitalia.) ‘His’ government happens to be equivocal on the point currently. But if it agreed with him, it wouldn’t make his view any less idiotic.
– Guy Herbert
What was GH commenting on? Was it anything in particular that Penn said? And that someone else had said about what Penn said? Presumably. But what?
It hardly matters what the context was, Brian, I made this SQOTD for Guy’s glorious turn of phrase.
Guy is correct.
