- albedoa 16y agoI don't agree with Penn on a lot of things, but I admire his humility. His @ replies to people on Twitter are are basically saying, "Famous people screw up too. I can be an idiot sometimes." That shouldn't be a breath of fresh air for me as far as public figures go, but it sadly is.
