Examiner Reporter Has Run-In With Sean Penn
Stars can be a bitch to cover. And dealing with their handlers can be no picnic, either.
Last night Washington Examiner’s Yeas & Nays columnist Tara Palmeri was covering a Sean Penn Haiti event and was tossed for asking him a question about his “rectal cancer” comment. Her question was similiar to that of HBO’s Bill Maher, who asked Penn about his remark last week (at the time the star managed to laugh it off). “We know he hates journos but I was literally, threatened to have police escort me out, the rabbi at the event tried to delete my video on my flip cam and I was publicly humiliated and berated in front of all these people even though I asked the question straight and professionally,” Palmeri told FishbowlDC.
