Jane Fonda on Larry King now. She makes as much sense now

[Booster]

as she did in the 60s.

[Gabi Hayes]

1. what's that supposed to mean?

making sense, as in being absolutely correct about the criminal invasion of a sovereign nation which was involved in a civil war?

[xultar]

15. I understood the OP! Was it really that confusing?

[stepnw1f]

2. Yeah... How So? (nt)

[Azathoth]

3. That's a very ambiguous statement

Are you praising her, or being critical of her?

[xultar]

16. I got it on the first try. I can't believe so many didn't.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

4. I can't believe I'm watching Larry King...

well, nothing else was on anyway.

[HysteryDiagnosis]

6. Rita is giving the tour of the facilities the Duke U boys will be

brought to..... it's so exciting.

[stillcool]

5. with a sig-line from Gloria Steinem...

I'd say that's a thumbs up for Jane. I can't stomach Larry, but I hope he's treating his ex-boss's ex-wife with the respect she deserves.

[Booster]

7. Now that I've re-read my entry, I can see where someone could

think I was putting her down, but while I was typing it I was thinking it's the highest compliment I could pay her. I think she's brilliant, just as she was in the 60's. She made mistakes, but her message was clear and she was right. I have been a huge fan of Jane forever. Sorry if I threw everybody a curve. She's wonderful.

[0007]

18. Thank you man!

[abluelady]

20. Living in a Red State...

I really appreciated her remark about making a difference in a red state. Sometimes it is very hard living in a red state; her remark helped me realize why I do what I do here. Any little bit I accomplish means something!

[Harper_is_Bush]

8. She's smart to stay out of things. She has too much baggage. n/t

[Gabi Hayes]

11. you're right, unfortunately

she did some good works in Atlanta, for which somebody tried to pass a resolution honoring her. It was defeated fairly resoundingly

I read this in an article that discussed the fact that she's not going to speak out on Iraq for the very reason you mention.

she said that Cindy Sheehan is doing a great job, and that she'd just get in the way.

[annabanana]

21. gal's a class act. . . . .eom

[Syrinx]

9. she's on Letterman tonight, I believe n/t

[Booster]

10. Thanks. I will make it a point to stay up and watch.

[chelaque liberal]

12. What is the reason for the exposure? Did she write a book?

[Booster]

13. Her book just came out in paperback. I have the book, but must

admit I haven't read it. Bought it to show support, just like Bill's, Hillary's, Kitty Kelley, etc. I spend way too much time reading DU to read a real book. ha

[Cleita]

29. You should read Kitty Kelley.

She gives you a whole new look at the Bush family. If you don't like them now, you really won't like them after you read her book and she really only wrote about the things she could verify. It's still pretty damning.

[A Simple Game]

14. I hope she is promoting Barbarella II.

I loved that movie.

[saltpoint]

17. Jane Fonda ranks very high among the true American patriots at my

house.

Loved her when she defied the government during the Vietnam years, love her tonight.

Brainy, adventurous, likable, and talented.

A courage teacher.

19. Watched her interview last night on the Charlie Rose show -

she was fantastic. Charlie is out sick so BaBa Walters did the interview. Would have rather seen Charlie but Jane's intelligence came through anyway. She talked about the ideologues pounding her for over 30 years - apparently most of the letters that she (and others) receive are form letters - nothing new. She knows that she is a lightning rod but she is tough.


She is going to be on The View tomorrow or Thursday, in addition to David Letterman tonight.

[faithnotgreed]

22. sorry i missed that interview - and thanks for posting the schedule

lovelove ms fonda

she is so intelligent and well-spoken without any ego
her beliefs are rock solid but yet so willing to listen and really communicate

what a fascinating combination she is

[1620rock]

24. I was in the Air Force for eight years during Vietnam, and....

...Jane is my hero! :loveya:

[faithnotgreed]

25. well said 1620 - thanks for posting that

peace

[stillcool]

27. and now you're mine....

:toast:

[left is right]

23. It's ironic--

the difference in the way the "Christians" treat the former AWOL, cowardly, rich man's kid, now "born again" * and the way they treat the bright and articulate former war protestor now born again Fonda. One gets total forgiveness, the other not even a hint of forgiveness.

[Karenca]

26. I went to see her last night at my bookstore.

She spoke for a long time before answering questions from the audience.
I always liked Jane Fonda, but after seeing her last night my opinion of her
has soared. She was wonderful...funny, bright, kind and gorgeous (In person she looks much younger}.

[KAT119]

28. Thank Goodness Jane is still on the piblic stage-she is a transformer...

[faithnotgreed]

30. just watching it now - amazing she is

i do appreciate the clear respect that larry king has for her
