A Yeas & Nays reporter was publicly berated and threatened to be escorted out by police on Thursday night when the reporter asked actor Sean Penn a controversial question about his humanitarian work in Haiti.

Penn, who recently has been criticized for his motivations in helping to rebuilding Haiti, recently told CBS News he hopes his critics "die screaming of rectal cancer."

Members of the media were invited to a gala hosted at the Washington Hebrew Congregation and were allowed to ask one question each of the actor in a closed-door news briefing.

When the Yeas & Nays reporter asked, "How have you seen your critics change since you mentioned that they should die of rectal cancer?" publicity coordinator C.J. Jordan interrupted to say the reporter was only allowed to talk about the Haitian benefit.

"You know, I think that you are investing in a culture that I am not interested in. And you should go your way," Penn said to the reporter, when she said her question was related to his involvement in Haiti.

Jordan ended the interview, and publicly scolded the reporter outside of the media room. Jordan told the reporter that to keep her job, she needed to write a letter of apology to the Haitian ambassador. The publicity coordinator then threatened to have the reporter escorted out of the building by the police.

"You desecrated this sacred place," Jordan said.

The congregation's Rabbi Bruce Lustig attempted to take the reporter's recording device and delete the material. The reporter was approached by police and threatened to be escorted out, even though she responded calmly and exited quickly.

Bill Maher asked Penn a similar question about his rectal cancer comment on his show last week.

Calling Penn an asshole for telling people that he hopes they die of rectal cancer...

Have 'they' found a way to blame this earthquake on Bush, yet?

Earthquakes don't kill people, Buildings do.
Haiti is one of the most fucked up countries on the face of the planet. Their corrupt government is to blame for the mass deaths during the quake.
Sean Penn should shut the Fuck up.

Not to mention that Haiti will be the USA's hemmorrhoid til kingdom come! Although I feel badly for the people in Haiti for what theyve gone through,but when you breed like rats,dont care to bring any kind of structure and democracy to a country,its hard to totally sympathize for them. Try living with these Haitians,I do and its aggravating,and driving is crazy with them!!!

Back on point,with SP I wish I had the money because id gladly chip in on a one way ticket to Venezuela,to become ass buddies with his BF Chavez!!! SP should pull his lip over his head and swallow!
