Of apologies, and practicing what you preach
Jane Fonda, in a desperate attempt to rouse interest in her new book, apologized to the soldiers she offended during the Vietnam era (for "offended" I think it'd be safe to substitute the words "nearly got killed"). She then promptly went on the talk-show circuit, begging people to understand that it was all because she was a poor neglected little girl, that her Mommy and Daddy just didn't understand her and that her whole "I hate America" phase that included practically mating with enemy tanks was just the heartfelt cry of a lonely little rich kid. Mind, this is the same Daddy that she couldn't praise highly enough when he won his Oscar for "On Golden Pond" decades ago...Proving that not everyone believes the old-age repentance Fonda's trying so hard to force us to swallow, a man at a book-signing yesterday spit in her face. The man is a Vietnam veteran. I guess not everyone believes that it was all Henry Fonda's fault that Jane was such an upstanding poster-child for the hard left...
And in the "practice what you preach" category, Italy has ruled that a woman's feeding tube remain inserted. Italy praised Bush and Congress for their attempt to save Terri Schindler's life.
LECCO, Italy (Reuters) - Italy's Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected a man's appeal to remove a feeding tube keeping his daughter alive, weeks after a bitter row over brain-damaged Terri Schiavo divided the United States. The Italian court confirmed an earlier ruling that called feeding Eluana Englaro, in a vegetative state following a 1992 car crash, a "necessary act."
