Hanoi Jane gets the royal treatment from a Vietnam Veteran
Jane Fonda who went to North Vietnam, met with top officials, made several propaganda radio broadcasts and had her photograph taken while sitting in a North Vietnamese tank (surprisingly, she was not arrested for Treason on her return to the US although what she did clearly qualifies) is now trying to jump-start her career with a new book and movie.
She was at a book signing and one person who remembers her treason very well came up to her.

Police: Man Arrested For Spitting On Jane Fonda
Police said they arrested a man for spitting on two-time Academy Award-winning actress Jane Fonda (pictured, right) during a book-signing stop in Kansas City Tuesday night.
Fonda, 67, spoke at Unity Temple, in The Plaza shopping district, about her new best-selling book, "My Life So Far," and her new movie with Jennifer Lopez called "Monster-In-Law."
At about 9 p.m., police said 54-year-old Michael A. Smith, who had been waiting in line for about 90 minutes, passed a book to Fonda and then spit a large amount of tobacco juice into her face.
Fonda declined to prosecute Smith.
A Vietnam veteran, Smith was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, which is a city charge.
I would have used a pie but I can well understand Mr. Smith's sentiments...
