Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and über- liberal actor Sean Penn got to meet yesterday at the capital’s Miraflores presidential palace. (Why are crazy people always the ones with juicy celeb stories?) The private, two-hour audience they held segued into an address the nutty Prez made to an auditorium full of his fans —including Penn, who channeled his retarded adult character from “I Am Sam” by occasionally applauding in agreement to the things coming out of Huey’s mouth. (e.g., Oil is the reason for U.S. hostility towards Venezuela. Americans would revolt if they knew how well my social programs treat the poor. Spicoli rules!) The Oscar winner didn’t so much as say a word to the press, only offering a couple of photo ops to Huey’s official paparazzi. Which leads us to wonder… is that a band-aid on Penn’s face? (We hope that’s all it is.) After the jump, enjoy a hypothetical transcription of the two chums breaking the ice.

Huey: Biscotti? We’ve got the kind with almonds in it.
Penn: [Shaking his head.] No, thanks. I prefer the ones that’re dipped in chocolate.
[Awkard silence.]
Huey: Sooo… Did I tell you I love American movies? I’m a big Clint Eastwood fan.
Penn: No way! You know, he directed me in “Mystic River.” That’s the movie I won an Oscar for.
Huey: Did he get all ‘Dirty Harry’ on you and pack a pistol to keep everybody in line?
Penn: Uh… No.
Huey: Oh. In that case, never mind.
