they are not badmouthing the guy for helping people dumbass.....read why...then comment....Good work Sean Penn...
When we sat down with Sean Penn after he'd spent close to a month in earthquake-torn Haiti, his mind was still very much on the people there who remain in desperate need . . .
Lending a hand is exactly what Penn has been trying to do since he first heard about the earthquake. Ignoring the skeptics, he brought in dozens of doctors, nurses and emergency personnel who have treated some 50 000 people so far. He also flew in urgently-needed equipment, from X-ray and ultrasound machines to $20 water filters that have brought clean drinking water to some 4000 families.
