Appearance always matters. Jane Fonda was hot in her prime, of that, there is no doubt. Part of being conservative is to see reality for what it is. Jane Fonda was a smoking babe that unfortunately chose to be a traitor.
It matters how? You would think better of her and what she did because of her appearance? I wouldn't give any traitor the satisfaction of such a compliment. What Fonda did was way over the line.
