I think John McCain had it about right:
McCain on Jane Fonda
MATTHEWS: Let me ask you about—we’ve got Jane Fonda on tomorrow night. You over there for all those years in the Hanoi Hilton. What do you think I should ask her?

MCCAIN: I think you should ask her what she was thinking when she got into that anti-aircraft gun site and applauded and smiled and all that. And I think she’s going to tell you she was young and foolish and regrets it. And if anybody regrets something they’ve done—I’ve regretted some of the things I’ve done in my life—that’s fine with me.

MATTHEWS: What about visiting the POWs? She had a hand in that, too, right?

MCCAIN: Yes, she did. It’s...

MATTHEWS: She did a broadcast from that perspective, as if she was sort of like part of a—you know, sort of a care package coming over there.

MCCAIN: I didn’t like it. I thought it was wrong. But we had a former attorney general of the United States who was acting worse, Ramsey Clark. I expected more of him than a troubled actress.

Look, I didn’t like it. I don’t like it. But for me to hold a grudge against her, I think, you know, it’s a waste of time.

During the 2008 election, he made a point whenever he was asked about it, of forgiving Fonda, but mentioning Ramsey Clark......(who most people probably didn't remember, or had never heard of)

A miserable old anti-American, simple-minded bastard, who is still alive, (proving the adage that "the good die young"...his father, Supreme Court Justice Tom Clark must be on continuous grave spin) who never apologized for his aid and comfort to the enemy role in Vietnam, and when last seen was part of Saddam Hussein's defense team....

And hell, was she worth a boning back then or what?!?
Fixed.

No, he was too busy dealing with broken bones to think about getting "boned"...

Way to take an incredibly gracious statement by a man who spent over five years being tortured in a Vietnamese POW prison and turn it into something smutty...

I hope you're proud of yourself... :fu :nana

Really Jim, dealing with broken bones in that interview? I'm sure he's seen the historic clips of her in her prime, and would agree with me. ;)

He was in a tiger cage, in her prime; I don't think your two priorities jibe.

Geezus, Hanoi Jane looks like she's had a full face botox injection....

Well, if she was attempting to emulate Mrs. Reagan's appearance at the time that actual photo of the Reagans was taken, it's pretty much no contest as to who the more attractive lady is.... :ok
