I'm not a fan but I respect him because he tries to be reasonable and kind (he lost 100lbs recently, and as someone with weight loss issues, going from 175 to 210 and back to 175, I respect that; it's a tough battle and I've been following his progress). But I was utterly shocked when I saw this in Google News and read his editorial. The last thing I expected was that Penn was most impressed by Sanders.
