No Jane (you ignorant slut), it’s NO “myth”

Jane Fonda wonders why people just won’t moveon™:

...why it is that 300 people went to North Vietnam, people, many people before me, why me, why have they created this [“Hanoi Jane”] myth?  You know, when I came back from North Vietnam, there was maybe a quarter of an inch of media about it in the New York Times. Nobody made any big deal out of it...

It was created... by right wingers. ...people who are like stuck there, you know, they’re still stuck in the past.  I always want to say, “Get a life...”

Yes, I’m aware that Fonda has issued apologies (a couple of times).  And I imagine it’s likely that drug-induced gormlessness played a (big?) part in her decision to go to Hanoi.^[1]  But there’s a big difference between, “I was young, stoned, and stupid, doing stupid things, and now I’m sorry” and “I didn’t do any harm, and it’s all made up anyway.”
