Bad news for Barack Obama

It appears that Jane Fonda, the actress and ardent anti-Vietnam War advocate who visited North Vietnam during those hostilities, has endorsed Democrat Barack Obama for president. This will not help his support amongst liberal Republicans of a certain age. I wonder if John McCain will draw attention to the fact that during Jane Fonda's controversial wartime visit to North Vietnam, she was photographed at a Communist anti-aircraft gun battery where she joined North Vietnamese soldiers there in singing an antiwar song while preparing to shoot at attacking Americans. Meanwhile John McCain was an American airman who was shot down over that same city by those same anti-aircraft forces; he was tortured and spent nearly six years in a POW cell while Jane Fonda returned home.
