KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Reuters) - A man who said he was a Vietnam veteran spat tobacco juice in Jane Fonda's face at a Kansas City book signing, police said on Wednesday.

The man, 54-year-old Michael Smith, waited in line for about 90 minutes before spitting a "large amount" of tobacco juice into Fonda's face, according to Kansas City police.

Smith was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.

The 67-year-old Oscar-winning actress was in town as part of a book-signing tour for her newly released autobiography titled "My Life So Far."

Well, I guess we don't have to wonder what he was thinking.

Wait a minute---the conservative writers and pundits have been getting things thrown at them for months--starting with Ann Coulter---

Were all arrested?

He deserves a metal. Maybe he will get some offer of legal advise or funds to help with his legal bills. I would guess he is a vet.

Is it really right to support this stuff?

I mean, we complain if Coulter or someone gets hit with a pie and this is even worse.

I don't care who it is, this should not be happening.

"The man, 54-year-old Michael Smith, waited in line for about 90 minutes before spitting a "large amount" of tobacco juice into Fonda's face"

Thus ensuring him free beer for life. Nicely done.

Hanoi Jane didn't press charges because she thought the guy was just French kissing her.
