The actress/workout maven made her informal endorsement to paparazzi outside a Los Angeles restaurant, reports the Los Angeles Times’s Andrew Malcolm. Fonda was eating out last night and exited the restaurant, ignoring as celebrities often do the assembled press contingent. But a video camera was rolling as she approached the street and someone, perhaps just trying to get her to turn around for a picture, shouted out at her back, “Who are you going to vote for?” There was a moment of silence. Then, the actress did turn around toward the cameras, paused and with a smile said simply, “Obama!” Then she got into a car and drove away. TMZ.com has video of Ms. Fonda’s comment. But is the enthusiastic support from “Hanoi Jane” a boon or a bust for Senator Obama? Ms. Fonda has a long antiwar track record, which may well score points with Iraq War opponents, but the mention of her name still bristles the skin of Americans who found her trip to a Communist anti-aircraft gun battery during the Vietnam War, well, less than patriotic. Mr. Obama may not appreciate Ms. Fonda’s sing-a-long with the North Vietnamese put into context with the service of John McCain, whose plane was shot down by the Viet Cong and who spent five years in a prisoner of war camp.
