Crikey.
I meant to type Vietnamese....not Vietnanese.
Will have to ask the mod to correct.
Thanks for posting this interesting news.
Don't forget, she is in a movie...monster in law or
something like that....
This tour, and release of her book at the same time of
the movie, is just a hype to get people to be interested
in the movie...typical hollywood hucksterism....
avoid 99% of the movies, and 99% of the hollywood
crowd.......
She was a dumb, and naive woman then, and apparently
has maintained the status quo....( I heard par of her interview on Larry King...duh!)
When I was in school she was telling us that the US was
bombing hospitals in VietNam...of course, later on I
found out that many ammo dumps are put by hospitals so that
they won't get bombed, and if they do, they can claim
that the enemy was bombing the hospital. She was duped!
Nowadays with ground ops and SOCOM's and guided weapons,
this problem is not as prevalent.
BTTT
Hoy! Steady there mate!
I heard she had a book signing in another state, (maybe Colorado?) and they had planned on her needing 3 hrs to sign books, but she was done in an hour and a half. Turnout was much less than they expected.
I guess she's finding out that she either isn't liked or people just don't care.
That's a blow to her ego.
How about this:
"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"
LOL!!

And half that showed up were disappointed when they realized it wasn't Bridget Fonda.
Thanks for the report.I saw another thread earlier.
Man Arrested For Spitting [large amount of
tobacco juice] On [the face of] Jane FondaThere it is. :)
The Vietnam war was the longest in our nation's history.
1st American advisor was killed on June 08, 1956,
and the last casualties in connection with the war occurred on May 15, 1975, during the Mayaquez incident. Approximately 2.7 million Americans served in the war zone; 300,000 were wounded and approximately 75,000 permanently disabled. Officially there are still 1,991 Americans unaccounted for from SE Asia.
Vietnam was a savage, in your face war where death could and did strike from anywhere with absolutely no warning. The brave young men and women who fought that war paid an awful price of blood, pain and suffering. As it is said: "ALL GAVE SOME ... SOME GAVE ALL"
The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield. No American force in ANY other conflict fought with more determination or sheer courage than the Vietnam Veteran. For the first time in our history America sent it's young men and women into a war run by inept politicians who had no grasp of military strategies and no moral will to win. They were led by "top brass" who were concerned mainly with furthering their own careers, most neither understood the nature of the war nor had a clue about the impossible mission with which they'd tasked their soldiers. And the war was reported by a self serving Media who penned stories filled with inaccuracies, deliberate omissions, biased presentations and blatant distorted interpretations because they were more interested in a story than the truth! It can be debated that we should never have fought that war. It can also be argued that the young Americans who fought so courageously, never losing a single major battle, helped in a huge way to WIN THE COLD WAR.
What a pathetic has been! She's already had way too much coverage on this stupid book! She's never gotten any where on her own- she made it on her dad's name and then on her ex's names! You notice she always kept the Fonda name but acts like she's done it on her own.
"My Life So Far" ...who cares...can't wait for "My Life since My Life So Far" LOL
Not everyone understands or cares about what Hanoi Jane did during Vietnam. Sandy Luedke, 46, says she's such a fan she keeps a VCR so she can continue working out to Ms. Fonda's old exercise tapes. "I wanted to be just like her when I was little – charismatic, gorgeous. She was fun, she got her hand in politics, she didn't back down, and that's who I wanted to be," she said. Ms. Fonda and her supporters had expected an onslaught of protesters led by the group Vietnam Veterans for Truth, but only a few showed to criticize "Hanoi Jane." Several dozen had protested Sunday at her Albuquerque, N.M., book signing. About 20 picketed across the street Sunday from the bookstore. Police told local business owners they were on city property and had a permit. On Monday, a few more protested but were out of book buyers' sights. During her speech inside the mall, one man who said he had been a helicopter pilot in Vietnam heckled Ms. Fonda. "Can you apologize?" challenged James Edward Nunn, 57, of Grapevine, who explained later that he "can't stand" that Ms. Fonda posed on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun. "I've been apologizing every decade since," Ms. Fonda said to sympathetic comments from the crowd. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." As Mr. Nunn left, Nancy Ray of Plano asked him: "Why don't you let people enjoy this? ... Why did you come?"
Bet Ms. Ray did not care for Mr. Nunn's answer. The shame is she did not know without asking.
Pathetic is the word.
Flush Hanoi Jane
down the drain
into the septic tank-
let waters rank and dank
Gurgle her refrain.
