In more bad news for Sen. John Kerry, "Hanoi" Jane Fonda is once again stepping into the media spotlight, promoting her new book "My Life So Far" and explaining that Kerry lost the election because he came across as "a wimp" and a "girlie man."
Fonda bankrolled Kerry's anti-war protests during the 1970s, and last year she tried to help him by registering as many women as possible in her "Vaginas Vote" campaign.
In a preview of what's to come as her book tour hits the TV talk show circuit, Fonda discussed her life and times last month at the "Girls For A Change" conference held at Montana State University.
She began by explaining that she'd spent the last five years working on her memoir, and insisted that her own life story is universal. Even someone who's wealthy, privileged, famous and white can be hurt by the hierarchy's rules in profound ways, Fonda explained.
Before too long the former actress got around to the subject of Kerry's defeat.
In quotes picked up by Bozeman, Montana's Daily Chronicle, she complained: "Men who show compassion or try to make peace are ridiculed as 'girlie men' or, like John Kerry, as wimps."
It's all a part of the patriarchal society we live in, she said, where American boys learn as early as age 5 that they have to earn a place in the hierarchy by being "real men" - not sissies who express emotion.
"We have to feel true empathy for boys," she urged. "Males have the power, but at what cost."
The former Hollywood radical urged girls to be more assertive, saying, "Get mad. It's not the way it has to be. Don't succumb, don't take it sitting down."
The solution, she said, is for girls to realize it's society and not their own flaws that makes them feel anxious and inadequate.
A Metrosexual traitor!
Not to mention that he associated with known Commies like Jane Fonda!
True, but he was a wimpy traitor.
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!

cant get the imagery of this out of my head.....how do they pull the lever?
sorry
There was something fishy smelling about that kind of campaign.
A wimpy traitor, a girley boy with a horses ass for a face and personality to match.

Jane Fonda...just like Ward Churchill..only Uglier.
This highlights another image problem Kerry carries around. Besides his Wimp Image he suffers from a Limp Image.
I thought Fonda had been "born again." What ever happened to that?
She's not my favorite person, but I must say she has more b*lls than kerry.
And those are just the good things you can say about him! :)
"The solution, she said, is for girls to realize it's society and not their own flaws that makes them feel anxious and inadequate."
Spoken like a true DemonRat. Nothing, I repeat, NOTHING, is ever your fault. It's society and mean people that do this to you, Kids! (Page One of the "Democratic Victim Indoctrination Handbook.")
And of course, it goes without saying that Kerry is a Metrosexual. Again, I am SO grateful we dodged the double barrels of he and Teh-Rah-Zah. *SHIVER*
"My Life So Far"?
So what.
"Men who show compassion or try to make peace are ridiculed as 'girlie men' or, like John Kerry, as wimps."
Jane Fonda almost got it right, except she forgot that John Kerry is a wimp. He's a sissy. He's a FOP!
Go back to your orgasmatron Fonda... no one cares.
But boobs stay home. And their's twice as many of those.
