“I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist,”

Yes Jane, I knew the commies were the good guys when they killed little girls and nuns during the Russian Revolution.

Of course Sarah Palin’s popularity “worries her” to such a person, Sarah would be like Garlic to a vampire.

"'The Black Book of Communism,'; a scholarly accounting of communism’s crimes, counts about 94 million murdered by the supposed champions of the common man (20 million for the Soviets alone), and some say that number is too low."

I watched her for a few seconds, not recognizing who I was looking at. Announcer said, and now back to Jane Fonda. I said, where is she? As soon as she opened her mouth, I recognized the voice, but not the face. She’s had so much plastic surgery done, that she doesn’t look like herself anymore. Botoxed into oblivion.

"I do have to say though that she looked awfully good in the red bikini in “On Golden Pond”"

Just keep thinking with the right "head" and we'll be ok.

No worries there. Not enough beer in the world to make me even consider anything to do with her. As a Viet Nam vet I have a special place in my heart for her and her ilk.

The Return of Hanoi Jane [John J. Miller]

Jane Fonda’s most famous film clip isn’t a scene from Klute or On Golden Pond or even one of those workout videos. Instead, it’s that 1972 appearance behind a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun. On Monday night, she explained to Larry King that nutty right-wingers are the source of her subsequent reputation as a Commie dupe:

JANE FONDA: No, it’s about the myth, you know, why it is that 300 people went to North Vietnam, people, many people before me, why me, why have they created this myth? You know, when I came back from North Vietnam, there was maybe a quarter of an inch of media about it in the New York Times. Nobody made any big deal out of it. It was created, and some people are stuck-

LARRY KING: By critics?

FONDA: By right wingers. There are some people who are like stuck there, you know, they’re still stuck in the past. I always want to say, “Get a life,” or, you know, “Read what really happened,” you know. The myths are now true.

Get a life? This doesn’t sound like the woman who once tried to express remorse for her actions. In 1988, she appeared on 20/20. Here’s a summary from AP:

“I was trying to help end the killing,” Fonda said in an interview with Barbara Walters. “But there were times I was thoughtless and careless about it and I’m ... very sorry that I hurt them. And I want to apologize to them and to their families.”

For a lot of veterans, her apology came 16 years too late. Yet she did apologize, at least for the specific act of appearing behind the anti-aircraft gun. (As she also tried to make clear, she did not want to apologize for the totality of her anti-war activism.) Better late than never, right?

Well, Fonda apparently wanted not just forgiveness, but also forgetfulness—because now, if even a softball-tosser like Larry King ventures anywhere near the subject of what she did in North Vietnam, nobody is treated to anything like the appearance of sincere regret. Instead, we get Hanoi Jane, ready to scold. Did you hear her, Vietnam vets? Get a life

Fonda has spent her whole life being under the spell of one male Svengali after another. During Vietnam, it was Tom Hayden. Methinks she has daddy issues.

Also - I’d sooner watch Mr. Rogers reruns than watch Larry King.

Facts are facts, bitch! Some guys who were in the Hanoi Hilton know what you did, first hand, and they have the scars to prove it. You have a very deep problem recognizing reality.
