Portrait of Hypocrisy - Sean Penn Edition

I ran across this story today on CNN:

Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Thursday he called and sent a letter to Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad asking for the release of detained American hikers at the behest of actor Sean Penn.

It just made me wonder why neither of them are doing the same for this man?

Meet Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani who is facing death in Iran for converting to Christianity and refusing to denouce his new faith. 

The hypocrisy of the left is truly stunning.
