HANOI JANE – On the road again!!

Fresh off her recent book tour, the former Mrs. Ted Turner has decided to start a new tour. Keep in mind, she went to a number of media moguls, asking them to help her live down her reputation as “Hanoi Jane,” because she had a new movie and a book coming out, and needed the money; and they fell all over themselves, complying with her requests. Although America has moved decidedly to the right, that effort enjoyed a certain degree of success, because of the similar agenda among her collaborators.

But recently, Jane has made some new adjustments to her political thought processes. She said she was sorry for putting on that VietCong helmet, and posing on that anti-aircraft gun in Hanoi. She played down the idea that she wasn’t sorry for her position against the Vietnam War, or for going to Hanoi, in the first place, . . . even though she admitted that fact to Barbara Walters.

This time, however, she’s decided that she'll be hitting the road in a cross-country bus tour to call for an end to U.S. Military operations in Iraq. Rumors have it that she'll be riding in an environmentally-friendly bus that runs on vegetable oil. I hope she finds enough Chinese restaurants along the way to be able to fill up. Maybe she should call it, “The Grease for Peace Tour.” . . . . Or, . . . maybe . . . . “Oil, Oil, -- It’s ALL about Oil!”

Fonda claims she hasn't taken any stand on any war since Vietnam, but now she's "breaking her silence." Ummmm, . . . whatever, . . . (too much work, digging for those quotes, I know I’ve heard, over the past twenty-five years), . . . She's made her anti-War on Terror/Bush-bashing views known in various recent media appearances, (one can’t help but wonder if this is part of that same effort to live down that nickname??) as well as statements to individual journalists at those many book signings. Expect this little “Grease for Peace” bus trip to get plenty of free publicity.

But don't expect something else. Don't expect the media to ask Hanoi Jane what exactly we should do once we comply with her wishes that we pull all the troops out of Iraq and the country falls into chaos. Are we supposed to just let the terrorists take over and use it as a base to kill innocent people, or a point of launch toward every western country??

That's something you never get from the anti-war crowd, or their Hanoi Janes of this world, . . . an actual solution to the problems they spew about.

God Bless,
