CBS’s Harry Smith played a clip on “The Early Show” of a brief interview he did with Sean Penn following the Oscar’s. Smith told Penn that he “wept openly” several times during “Milk” because “it really is a film about the civil rights movement.”

How lame can you get? I’m so tired of all the phony solidarity that liberals feel they have to show with the gays. It was a foregone conclusion that “Milk” would win at the Oscar’s. Anybody could have played Harvey Milk and they would have won. But, guess what liberals? No matter how many awards you give to commie pinko Sean Penn, gay marriage will still be illegal in California and Harry Smith will still be a tool.

Not only is Sean Penn a commie pinko left-winger, but he also apparently likes men. Penn’s latest movie called Milk is about gay politician and activist Harvey Milk. Penn’s co-star in the film, James Franco, says that when he first got the script and agreed to do the movie there was only one scene in which he would have to kiss Penn.

Then in October, Franco said he received a newly revised script with more kissing scenes and a full sex scene. When he approached the director about the sudden increase in gay sex — director Gus Van Sant said it was Sean Penn’s idea.

But wait, here’s the really gay part:

Franco had also recently said in an interview that Penn had bragged to his ex-wife Madonna, who has pushed gender boundaries throughout her career, about his first on-screen gay love scene.

“After our kiss,” Franco said, “Sean texted Madonna and said ‘I just popped my cherry kissing a guy. I thought of you. I don’t know why.’”

What a flaming douchebag.
