Baghdad Jane

Posted by Moonage on 27 Jul 2005 | Tagged as: National Politics

A while back, I did what I felt was a satirical take on Hanoi Jane’s revelation that, MAYBE, she had acted inappropriately during the Vietnam War.  She was selling a book and sort of apologized for some of her behaviors.  And, she talked about sex a lot.  War and sex sells, right?  In her case it didn’t. 

At about the same time, I was commenting on her political activism via 527’s.  That series of posts wasn’t satirical.  I was lamenting how certain segments within the Democrat Party were pushing it so far left that most of the Democrats couldn’t support it.

Well, guess what.  Jane Fonda’s at it again:

Actress and activist Jane Fonda says she intends to take a cross-country bus tour to call for an end to U.S. military operations in Iraq.

"I can’t go into any detail except to say that it’s going to be pretty exciting," she said.

Fonda said her anti-war tour in March will use a bus that runs on "vegetable oil." She will be joined by families of Iraq war veterans and her daughter.

They plan to return to the Santa Fe area, where she was promoting her book, "My Life So Far" on Saturday.

Prompted by a question from the audience, Fonda said war veterans that she has met on a nationwide book tour have encouraged her to break her silence on the Iraq war.

"I’ve decided I’m coming out," she said.

I don’t think this is going to sell more books.  And, I really don’t think she’s going to have the impact she did in 1972.  And, according to what she’s written already, she came out a long, long, long time ago.  And apparently no one cared.
