COLD, BUT NOT THAT COLD

THE FIRST LADY...

...JANE FONDA IN HANOI, 1972,  ADORINGLY APPLAUDING VIET CONG TROOPS

Friday, 9:00 AM.  15 degrees F, wind SW, moderate with gusts.  The sky is covered with a low overcast, and the sun has not yet made an appearance.  The humidity is up to 84% and the barometer is down to 29.66".  We got a couple of inches of snow last night.  It looks like we are entrenched in the frigid-warming-snow-frigid cycle.
   The First Lady said in an interview yesterday that she admires the actress Jane Fonda. Her admiration seems to be mostly for Hanoi Jane's physical appearance at her advancing age, but couldn't she have picked a better role model?  Many Americans old enough to remember Fonda's traitorous actions during the Vietnam War, when she gave aid and comfort to the enemy even while American prisoners were held captive and being tortured in the Hanoi Hilton, will be troubled and insulted by Michelle Obama's misguided adulation.  We are owed an explanation and an apology by Mrs. Obama.
   I have said for forty-five years that it would be a cold day in hell when I forgave Jane Fonda for her actions during the Vietnam War.
  It has been beastly cold, but not that cold.
