Well, Mr. Hand, i've been giving this a lot of thought...
Storm chaser, publicity hound, and would-be rescue Sean Penn got in over his head when he rented a small boat with the intention of personally saving lives in the new orleans floodwaters following hurricane Katrina.
Not being familiar with boats, the actor-turned-political activist had trouble from the get-go. crammed with penn's entourage (including a personal photographer), there was hardly room for any flood victims to board the craft.
Then the motor wouldn't start.
And he had launched the dingy before inserting the plug in the drain hole in the bottom. the tiny craft immediately began to take on water as penn quickly paddled back to shore after their 50-foot tour.
While he was furiously bilging out his dingy with a red plastic cup, some wiseacre heckled at him: "how are you going to get any people in that thing?"
, Since there were already 3 people in the 2-man duck-hunting boat (with reed camoflage!), Penn's intention to "rescue children" looked downright silly. And what's up with the white flak jacket, Spicoli? If your publicity crew gets shot, you'll be fine in your thin Kevlar vest that probably costs more than my monthly rent.
At least the Cajuns on shore finally got some comic relief after their horrific week.
