Fonda’s autobiography "My Life So Far" describes in blunt and painful detail how she made herself over to please her late father, actor Henry Fonda, and three husbands. She talks of arranging sexual threesomes for her first husband, French director Roger Vadim, of a 20-year battle against bulimia and of a few regrets about her highly publicized trip to Hanoi to oppose the Vietnam war.

Why do I get the feeling that one of those "regrets" was that she didn't succeed in "getting her message out" more effectively?  It's the same thing all the time with America's enemies (and yes, Demoscum, I'm looking at you) - whenever they don't get what they want at the ballot box, it's always because they somehow didn't communicate their message well enough.

Here's a clue, dumbasses:  You've been communicating that for which you stand most effectively.  That's why you keep losing.

As letters to newspapers and calls to radio shows have shown over the past few weeks, Fonda remains a lightning rod for controversy. But she says she now understands and accepts her role as an immutable American icon.

Just so you know, Hanoi Jane - Hitler, Stalin, Lenin and Mao are icons, too.  Being an icon is not necessarily something to which it's always good to aspire.

"I have to take responsibility for the fact that I represent something to people that is beyond me," Fonda told a small group of reporters in an interview to discuss "Monster-in-Law," in which she plays Jennifer Lopez’ fire-breathing mother-in-law.

Yes.  You represent a traitorous fuck who should've been shot on sight the minute you set foot back on US soil after returning from Hanoi.

"I represent a movement. I represent a set of values. I have to own that and I have to live that ... to not disappoint myself. You have to embody your values."

Such as how you hate what America stands for, and how you wanted to see her brought to her knees.  There's a reason  we call you "Hanoi Jane", you stupid trollop.

"I can’t stand complainers," she added.

Yeah, that's why you went to Hanoi in the first place, bitch - to complain about how the United States was trying to fight Communism in Southeast Asia.  Seems that didn't sit too well with you, did it?

"If you commit yourself to being in the public eye with all the perks, the least you can do is take the ups and downs."

"One thing I have learned the hard way is, it ain’t gonna kill you," she added.

That's more of a testament to our respect for the laws against murder than it is about anything you stand for, "Jane, you ignorant slut".

"You just plow ahead, and if you’re a decent person, people will know it."

Oh, we know about you, alright.  "Indeed", as Glenn Reynolds might say.

Oh, and speaking of J.Lo - who, last month in Blender  magazine said "I'm not a walking soap opera..."

(Memo to J.Lo:  Yes, you are.)

...she has once again proven that all her brains are contained in that wonderfully shaped, oversized ass of hers:

For her part, Lopez said she “had a lot of fun” working with Fonda after overcoming initial trepidation.

[...]

She said she asked Fonda how to go about becoming involved in politics if the inclination should strike. “She said there is a time and a way to do things,” Lopez said. “She said when you’re ready ... call me and I’ll tell you what’s right and what’s wrong so you don’t get yourself in trouble.”

Oh, that's rich:  J.Lo getting political advice from Hanoi Jane.  A classic case of the blind leading the blind.

Let's hope that the ditch is narrow enough so that her ass can keep her from falling into it, eh?
