Ironic that she endorsed a candidate running against a former POW from the Vietnam War. Side note: Jane Fonda reached the absolute pinnacle of douchebaggery when she posed for the above photograph. Why she wasn't tried for treason is beyond my comprehension.....
Jane Fonda, the actress and ardent anti-Vietnam War advocate who visited North Vietnam during those hostilities, has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president.
There were no formal ceremonies for the endorsement. In fact, the Obama campaign may just be learning about the actress's approval now as word spreads like lit gunpowder via the Internet.
Fonda was eating out last night and exited the restaurant, ignoring as celebrities often do the assembled press contingent.
But a video camera was rolling as she approached the street and someone, perhaps just trying to get her to turn around for a picture, shouted out at her back, "Who are you going to vote for?"
There was a moment of silence. Then, the actress did turn around toward the cameras, paused and with a smile said simply, "Obama!" Then she got into a car and drove away.
Many people question the value of celebrity endorsements, whether they actually attract anything other than simply more publicity, not to mention votes. The imprimatur of Fonda, who's been an antiwar activist for decades, certainly supports Obama's antiwar credentials.

Why anyone cares who the traitor votes for is beyond me

A last gasp for relevance from Jane and Ted Turner.
Of course, when Jane posed, no aircraft were flying. A fakir even as a peace activist, not willing to fight for peace...
A swat with a baseball bat would have her humming GWB's wanker, for all the guts and intellect of this poseur.
