The patient, in this case, would be Sean Penn.

President Bush isn̢۪t the only one upset with South Park
creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone over their new puppet film, Team
America: World Police.
Oscar winner Sean Penn apparently wrote an angry letter to the comedy
duo after they made fun of Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs’ Vote Or Die
campaign to persuade US youngsters to vote in next month̢۪s
presidential election.
He was infuriated at Stone̢۪s theory that America might elect better
leaders if lazy, apathetic voters stayed at home and didn̢۪t bother to
vote.
In the letter – said to have left the comic writers “howling with
laughter” - Penn wrote: “I remember a cordial hello when you guys
were beginning to be famous guys around Hollywood. I remember several
times getting a few giggles out of your humour.
“I remember not being bothered as you traded on my name among others
to appear witty. I never mind being of service in satire and silliness.
“I do mind when anybody who doesn’t have a child, doesn’t have a
child at war, or isn̢۪t or won̢۪t be in harm̢۪s way themselves is
saying that ̢۪there is no shame in not voting if you don̢۪t know what
you are talking about̢۪.
“You guys are talented young guys, but alas, primarily young guys.
It’s all well to joke about me or whomever you choose. “Not so well
to encourage irresponsibility that will ultimately lead to the
disembowelment, mutilation, exploitation and death of innocent people
around the world.
“The vote matters to them. No one’s ignorance, including a couple
of hip cross-dressers’, is an excuse.”

Christ. How dumb can you be, Penn? Lighten the fuck up, would you? No
one with any sense is going to take what these guys have to say about
politics seriously. Methinks you're overestimating the power of
celebrity and its "role" in shaping public policy. On the bright side,
look for a new South Park that viciously mocks Sean Penn soon!
