| Quote: | Jane Fonda Cancels Anti-War Bus Tour
Jane Fonda told me yesterday she's scrapped plans for anti-war bus trip next March. As well, Fonda will be making only two appearances this month on another rally with controversial British politician George Galloway, not the eight that were widely misreported in the press yesterday.
Why the change of plans? Certainly, Fonda is still very much against the war in Iraq and in favor of helping our troops there. But she said that she didn't want to distract people from Cindy Sheehan's bus trip, already under way and gathering support.
Sheehan, who camped out in front of President Bush's Crawford, Texas, ranch last month, is now on her way to scheduled appearances around the country.
Her journey began when she lost her son, U.S. Army Spc. Casey Sheehan, in Iraq on April 4, 2004. Sheehan's tour is called Gold Star Families for Peace.
Fonda will appear with Galloway -- who is vehemently anti-George Bush -- in Madison, Wis., on Sept. 18 and in Chicago, Ill., on Sept 19. She told me that "what the right wing has done to Sheehan is despicable."
Her own decision not to stage a bus tour came because she wants Sheehan's to succeed without messages being mixed.
"I would be a distraction," she said, "and the vacuum has been filled. That said, I plan to speak out and write some op-ed pieces but no bus tour."
Sheehan, who's now fielding book offers from publishers to write her story, is traveling with three buses filled with Gold Star families, Military Families Speak Out, Iraq Veterans Against the War and others.
Fans of Fonda the actress may be wondering how she'll follow up her box office success from "Monster-in-Law." She says that her agents at CAA are looking for material, but nothing's been set yet. Her schedule is already full with foreign publication of her bestselling autobiography, unfolding all over Europe.

Poor Hanoi Jane. First she tries to sell a book and the Pope dies, taking
all the headlines away from her. Next her bus tour is overshadowed
by Katrina. Commie traitors just don't get no respect these days.

I'd imagine it's more like she heard groups of Veterans were planning on meeting her everywhere she went and give her a lot of negative attention. Her main goal is selling her book and crap, like other Libs, she looks out for number ones purse.
As for Cindy Sheehan, Cindy who? |

| Yeah right, Jane, your doing this because you don't want to take attention away from CS. CS to paraphrase a conservative pundit, couldn't get a camera now even if she paraded naked in Crawford (yuck!). PS "Monster in Law" was a bomb, not a box office success. |

I heard that due to the Flood there is not enough peanut oil to power the buses?
and it's bushes fault because he did not sign the global warning so the peanuts would not grow & it put a stop to poor Jane's bus tour.

Sorry to critique your post, but I think you made a typo on the 'sheethead' part

She probably tried to get former Prezidet Jimmuh to supply the tour and he told her he wasn't in the peanut business anymore. He's busy saving the world from the VRWC.
