The Jane Fonda Ad Analogy In a story on "CBS Evening News" this month, David Axelrod reached back into the dirt-laden political archives and invoked the infamous ads that were originally inflicted on the American psyche by Al Gore. Axelrod asked, "Remember Willie Horton?" The anchorman went on to express concern that the Republicans who "made" Michael Dukakis into a Massachusetts leftist might do the same to John Kerry. A week later CBS's Byron Pitts displayed a choice photo that was first uncovered by NewsMax. The picture showed Kerry sitting on the ground a few rows behind Jane Fonda at a 1970s anti-war protest. Donna Brazile brought up the Horton issue as well. The former Gore campaign manager referred to Fonda as the new Willie Horton. "Remember Willie Horton? Well Willie Horton has been retired. Jane is taking his place. And they're going to use that to undermine his [Kerry's] credibility." The Left Coast Report says no wonder Fonda's fuming - this kind of talk makes her John Kerry's Willie.
