Fonda's Deja Vu Tour

SANTA FE, N.M. (AP)-- Actress and activist Jane Fonda says she intends to take a cross-country bus tour to call for an end to U.S. military operations in Iraq.

"I can't go into any detail except to say that it's going to be pretty exciting," she said.

Fonda said her anti-war tour in March will use a bus that runs on "vegetable oil."

..."I've decided I'm coming out," she said...

"I have not taken a stand on any war since Vietnam," she said. "I carry a lot of baggage from that."

It will be fascinating to see what approach Hanoi Jane takes on her anti-war tour this time around.

At least at this point, Fonda hasn't said that she has plans to go to Iraq to cozy up to the insurgents. Thankfully, her vegetable oil fueled bus won't get her there.

That means she won't be in Iraq helping the enemy by making Tokyo Rose-style broadcasts to our troops, calling them murderers and telling them that they are responsible for filling hospitals with children and the elderly.

Also, even if Fonda wanted to, she can't go over there and pose on an enemy anti-aircraft gun since the insurgents' weapon of choice is explosives packed on cars, trucks, and homicide bombers.

Sitting atop an anti-aircraft gun and cavorting with the enemy in Vietnam were images that the media could display comfortably.

If a giggling, 68-year-old Fonda mounted a homicide bomber in Iraq, that wouldn't provide a very good photo-op for her anti-war cause, would it? That would be rather unseemly.

Does anyone else get the feeling that this tour, scheduled for MARCH, might coincide with the release of a paperback version of her book?

Could it be the book isn't exactly flying off the shelves and she's looking for some press to boost sagging sales?

Poor Jane. Plastic surgery and Botox can't take care of those sags.
