Opening Arguments

To the bone

I know I said in a recent post that Sharon Stone might be sneaking in to fill that special place in my heart once committed to Jane Fonda, but here comes Jane to win me back again:

Jane Fonda says she would like to tour the country and speak out against U.S. involvement in Iraq, but her controversial history of Vietnam War protests leaves her with "too much baggage."

"I wanted to do a tour like I did during the Vietnam War, a tour of the country," the Oscar-winning actress said Monday on ABC's "Good Morning America." "But then Cindy Sheehan filled in the gap, and she is better at this than I am. I carry too much baggage."

Too much baggage?  Aw, say it ain't so, Jane. And Cindy Sheehan can't hold a candle to you. She's just skin-deep bent, and she has the excuse that she lost a son in the war she's protesting. Your loony, to paraphrase Redd Fox, goes clear to the bone, and you have no excuses. You still should get down on your knees every day of your life and thank God you're not in prison for treason where you belong.

I'm sorry. Do I sound bitter? Jane and I were both in the same country once, but, you know, on different sides of the DMZ.

WHEW....glad Jane is NOT going to "tour" as she did during 'Nam...
The LAST thing I wish to see is "our" Jane fraternizing with some *misunderstood* terrorists in Iraq while smiling and holding an RPG!!!
Let's keep Hanoi Jane from becoming Fallujah Fonda ...please?

(pssst...I STILL like CAT BALLOU anyway)

Hate to admit it, but I like "Klute."

Now you got me thinking....CHINA SYNDROME was good all around...
...And then there's BARBARELLA (for the Roger Vadim bunch)...!
sorry...just a guilty pleasure from the past.

Many actors and actresses (of the past)were patriotic activists, such as Clark Gable, Carole Lombard, Jimmy Stewart, and Humphrey Bogart (and many more).
Many of today's actors and actresses who call themselves "activists" sadly smack of treasonous rhetoric.

How times change.
