How the White House learned to stop worrying and fell in love with Jane Fonda
You know, I shouldn’t even been writing this short piece and I wouldn’t have, normally.
It’s just that this story comes along the moment the powers that be have decided that the Guantanamo Six will get their day in (kangaroo) court – at the same time that the White House lets it be known that waterboarding is perfectly legal ‘in certain circumstances.’
Coincidence anyone?
Anyway, I was reading a little piece in the Washington Post about the latest TV appearance of the right wing nutters’ all-time favourite Jane Fonda and I couldn’t help but think:
You know, I bet this stupid little cunt of a story will get at least as many tongues and Conservative limp dicks wagging as the officially approved torture cum lynch party of six illegally held captives:
NEW YORK — NBC News is apologizing again - this time for Jane Fonda.
The 70-year-old actress used a vulgar slang term on the “Today” show Thursday while talking about the play “The Vagina Monologues.” Fonda is appearing in a 10th-anniversary performance.
Fonda said she was asked to perform a monologue with a slang term for vagina as the title _ and Fonda used the term itself on the air.
Here’s the transcript:
MEREDITH VIEIRA: I know when it started there were some A-list celebrities who came out to help you, but Jane, you at first were not a big fan of the play. So what turned you around?
JANE FONDA: Well, it wasn’t that I wasn’t a big fan. I hadn’t seen the play. I live in Georgia, okay? I was asked to do a monologue called “cunt.” and I said “I don’t think so, I got enough problems.”
Indeed…
Anyway, Bush and Cheney and the rest of the gang must be laughing their heads off.
Who’d have guessed that they’d ever become such deeply devoted fans of the woman once known as Hanoi Jane?
