Jane Fonda told me (Roger Friedman) yesterday she's scrapped plans for anti-war bus trip next March. As well, Fonda will be making only two appearances this month on another rally with controversial British politician George Galloway, not the eight that were widely misreported in the press yesterday.
No one cares?
Why the change of plans? Certainly, Fonda is still very much against the war in Iraq and in favor of helping our troops there. But she said that she didn't want to distract people from Cindy Sheehan's bus trip, already under way and gathering support.
Cindy who?
Fonda, will appear with Galloway -- who is vehemently anti-George Bush -- in Madison, Wis., on September 18 and Chicago, Ill. on Sept 19. She told me that "what the right wing has done to Sheehan is despicable." Her own decision not to stage a bus tour came because she wants Sheehan's to succeed without messages being mixed. " I would be a distraction," she said, "and the vacuum has been filled. That said, I plan to speak out and write some op-ed pieces but no bus tour."
