All I Need are Some Tasty Waves, a Cool Buzz, Matt Gonzalez, and I'm Fine

We were at work, surfing the Web when we noticed that Wonkette just posted some crazy story that Sean Penn is offering Matt Gonzalez $5 million dollars to run against the Gavster. Apparently, Sean would give Matt the money if Matty G. switched to the Democratic Party. What, Sean doesn't think a naked guy and a man named Grasshopper are good enough candidates?

According to the story, Matt really wasn't sure if his bud Sean was making a joke or not (although we've yet to hear Sean Penn make a joke and can't be sure he ever has) and turned it down because he refused to switch to the Democratic Party.

Now, we've done a quick search through the news and couldn't find any damn stories corroborating it and Wonkette doesn't supply any links to the story. So, this could either be Wonkette having a laugh at our expense, and, if so, are you having a laugh? Are they having a laugh? Or, they got tipped onto a juicy-ass rumor that somehow scooped the entire San Francisco media/gossip train. We kinda hope this story is true 'cause besides giving old SFist an actual election to cover, and quite a juicy one at that, the idea of Sean Penn being involved in SF politics and playing money fairy to Matt Gonzalez is just stupendously awesome.
