THE SKOAL BANDIT

There are definitely some sort of odd circumstances connecting my posts. First, I got this "two for one" deal on religious subject matter (see below). And now, Jane Fonda has popped up here for the second time in a week (see: Labor Daze Part 1). But this time, it's really good. During a book signing in Kansas City (yes it seems the wiley Ms. Fonda has written an autobiography) a Vietnam veteran chose to use Fonda's face as a sort of makeshift spitoon.

I think this is the best portion of the story:
Smith, a Vietnam veteran, told The Kansas City Star Wednesday that Fonda was a "traitor" and that her protests against the Vietnam War were unforgivable. He said he doesn't chew tobacco but did so Tuesday solely to spit juice on the actress.

Now that's an honorable display of discipline and self-sacrifice. Come on, the guy doesn't normally chew tobacco. What a champ.
