A friend of mine (and a reader and occasional commenter here) went to a reading and book-signing with Fonda for that book. She told me that when she got to the front of the line and handed Fonda the book to sign, she (my friend) blew it by saying, "Oh, my Mom is such a big fan of yours!") She said Fonda finished signing, looked at her frostily, and handed her back the book. Right on, James!

Somehow I remembered Jane Fonda's partial apology, mostly <i>apologia</i>, for her 1972 Hanoi trip in <i>My Life So Far</i> (2005), which I was reading yesterday, when I read at Angry Black Bitch: <i>When citizens indict fellow citizens for criticizing our government they are speaking the language of the </i>loyalist<i> and not the patriot.</i> Thanks for the link.
