"Hanoi Jane" on the loose again!
Jane Fonda set her sights on Baghdad and didn't wear a veil or Burka!
Jane stood in front of tens of thousands of protesters
this weekend and brought back memories of Anti-Vietnam rallies 35 years ago! The woman once known as "Hanoi Jane" is lashing out at the "mean spirited" and "vengeful" Bush administration.
It was her first appearance on an anti-war podium in 34 years and she was joined by a Hollywood contingent of Sean Penn, Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins!
(I'm sorry! Every time I hear "Jane Fonda" all I can think about is Barbarella in that "Orgasmatron" machine! Or that thing she did with the guy with the wings! Or when she joined hands with..................! Well, you get the idea!)
Meanwhile, in Washington about 100,000 people demonstrated while Sun Media (Canada) Foreign Affairs columnist Eric Margolis reported that;
(Gee, he doesn't beat around the Bush, does he? -Pun intended-)
This looks as if it could become a major constitutional crisis between the Executive and Legislative branches of the Government.
Margolis went on to say that Bush's last term marks the zenith of the long growth of the Imperial Presidency, and the decline of Congressional authority.
Yea, Eric doesn't really mince words when he has something to say!
As a matter of fact this is how he ended up his rant!
I imagine he would have been even more direct if he was American, but coming from a Canadian, what can I say?
That's what Friends are for!

"The contemptuous, neo-totalitarian impulses of the Republicans Far-Right, led by Dick Cheney and a cabal of pro-war neo-conservatives, are the prime exponents of an Imperial Presidency!

The 9/11 attacks and a docile Republican majority, dominated by Southern Rustics and Holy-Rollers, turned Congress into a rubber stamp for Bush's policies.
Most members of Congress have demonstrated political cowardice, moral failure and gross dereliction of their duty to defend the constitution, their nations laws,and citizens' rights!

In 2008 American voter will hopefully censure those legislators who voted for this faked, totally unnecessary war, and approved the Bush Administrations growing use of torture, kidnapping and secret prisons.
Never in my memory, has the U. S. Congress brought so much shame on itself nor sunk so low! It is precisely Congress's duty to stop a President and Vice-President who have lost touch with reality, violated the constitution, and are taking America over a cliff.
Congress must end it's timidity and demand that Bush and Cheney, who have gone dangerously astray, cease and desist!

Personally, I think people are failing to put Fonda's action during the Viet Nam war in proper political and social context. Many people seem more angry at her than they are at Nixon for, say, bombing Cambodia.
Personaly I don't have any problem at all with Jane Fonda's anti-war stance. On top of that I would still like to.....well, never mind!
