KANSAS CITY, Mo. --

Police said they arrested a man for spitting on Academy Award winning actress Jana Fonda during a book-signing stop in Kansas City Tuesday night.

At about 9 p.m., police said a man who had been waiting in line for about 90 minutes, passed a book to Fonda and then spit a large amount of tobacco juice into her face.

In my humble opinion, the two of you need to sit down and calmly explain yourselves to each other

******************

Level-headed advice if I've ever heard it.

These things do happen fairly regularly, although it does seem that recently they are happening more frequently.

[MeekOneGOP]

haha! Yeah. :)

[Goodgirlinred]

I apologized. She accepted. Let that be the end of it.

I guess I owe you both an apology for flying in and taking things out of context myself. JLO, I was pinged to this thread and then saw a message where it appeared that you were preparing to attend a meeting to help thwart the up/down vote for judges.

JLO Quote: I've just signed up for an emergency rally for 5 p.m. next Wednesday to stop the Republican judicial takeover

I didn't then, nor have I now sifted through to the beginning of the thread to help me determine what I missed that would have clued me in to that post being a joke or sarchasm of some type. And since it's 500+ posts long I'm not going to. :)

I can see from the many others coming to your defense that I'm missing something somewhere, and based on that I'll have to assume you were not posting your real agenda when you posted that message. If that post of yours was something other than you posting your real agenda, then I'm sorry for the giant cloudy Hand Of God picture I posted.

Thanks. I was being very sarcastic. It blew up in my face. Things are ok. Thanks for the note.

Wouldn't it be a trip if this guy were hired to pull this spitting stunt to make the right look bad? Plus garner press coverage as Fonda plugs her book and simultaneously(surprise) her new movie with JLO. It's been done before it will be done again...

Remember, media PR marketing is all about sensationalism to get YOUR ATTENTION.

[JLO]

jlo marketing. That's different from JLO posting here.

Argh!

Not fonda,!

Jane Fonda, no matter how much I disagree with her on issues, should not be treated like this.

[hershey]

B....but Jane assured us that everything's hunky dory and that she's been forgiven. All that stuff about Vietnam...youthful indiscretion and anyway, she's glad she spoke up, went there, and did what she did. So there. Well, it looks like some people still hold her responsible for what she said and did back then....even though she doesn't think it's a big deal.

[JLO]

Hey F16Fighter


Thanks and all.

attacking JLO??? Pingees flying in for the fray...

Leave this FRiend ALONE!!

You know not of what you speak!!!
