At least according to "Vagina Monologues" playwright Eve Ensler, and Jane Fonda.
Apparently the Today show had not had enough of this dynamic duo earlier in the program, when the fabulously classy Miss Fonda used another word for "vagina" that begins with the letter "c".
So they brought the pair back for the 10 o'clock hour, and America was again regaled with their brilliant and insightful perspective. A perspective, and a vernacular -- it must be noted -- that would get any man on the planet at the very least slapped silly.
The video, Miss Ensler's political genital declaration (which we think grossly underestimates the chronology and the total) and Miss Fonda's in-depth analysis of New Orleans' vagina-ness, follows below.
Eve Ensler: "You know what? The Mayor of New Orleans (the notorious Ray Nagin) just declared himself one of the first vagina friendly mayors."
Editor's Note: We would imagine there a quite a few more, going WAY back. And we can think of a pol or two further up the electoral food chain, of 1990s vintage, who were big fans as well.
Eve Enser: "He's walking through the streets of New Orleans talking about it."
Editor's Note: We are quite sure that he is.
Jane Fonda: "Think about it -- it (New Orleans)'s moist, it's a wetland, it's a place -- it's a place where people come for fun. And when things go south, forget about it, shut it down."
Editor's Note: Again, this type of talk would get any man on the planet open-handed into oblivion by any woman in aural proximity.
Eve Ensler: "That's right."
We'll take their words for it.

Good thing the writers' strike is over.

Once again, tmi. Thanks Jane, Eve and Ray! <sarc>
Right on C word Fonda
February 14, 2008 - 19:36 ET by Lame CherryNew Orleans vagina:
Prone to periodic bleeding.
Constantly a provider of the wastes of the body of America.
Prone to sexual diseases.
Prone to bacterial infection when flooded.
When protected by Bill Clinton it lays in utter ruin.
Yeah Jane Fonda is right. New Orleans under Democratic rule is vagina friendly in selling it for immoral purposes and bringing it to utter or vaginal ruin.
Right on C word Fonda.

February 14, 2008 - 19:38 ET by lunaticcringeradioif new orleans is americas vagina then what does that say for their ability to judge the condition of their own genitalia. are they use to a sopping wet heap of a stench pocket that is infected with every form of disease known to man.
when will jane fonda just get cancer and die, of all the people to go to vietnam why couldn't she have been exposed to agent orange.

On the plus side...
February 14, 2008 - 21:03 ET by RiharYes but it helps the U.S. look like it's relieving itself on Cuba.

February 15, 2008 - 13:24 ET by okiehawk44Let's put Florida up New Orleans' c##* -- this would put Cuba more than 90 miles from America and shut up the vagina monologuers who can't seem to talk about anything else. A twofer!
We know that there aren't any male genitalia in DC
February 14, 2008 - 19:53 ET by FastEdBecause it ain't easy - just getting in the same mood as jane and friends.
It isn't easy being a dick...
I have a head I can't think with.
I have an eye I can't see with.
I have to hang around with two nuts all the time.
My closest neighbor is an a**h***.
My best friend is a cat (another word that Jane would know/use - starts with a p****).
My owner beats me.
And now because of AIDS I have to wear a rubber suit and puke
all over myself.

Words fail me. Frankly, I find this more offensive than the use of the c-word, not because this is actually offensive, but because there's no way two guys could have had such a discussion on network television without getting fired -- from whatever they did for a living.
The double standards in our society are multiplying like rabbits, ladies and gentlemen. Where will it end, and what kind of a society will our children inherit? ns
That;s absolutely right,
February 14, 2008 - 20:51 ET by motherbeltThat;s absolutely right, Noel. At a college in PA a few years ago, a women's group sponsored a C### fest. The purpose was supposedly to call attention to women's issues. Can you imagine if a fraternity held an event with the same name, even if the stated purpose was the same?
Agreed, Noel
February 14, 2008 - 21:24 ET by Seton MotleyAs I said, we would be female dog-slapped up and down the block were we to roll like this on the air.
It is, by the way, a very fine line they traipse which young Chris Matthews will very soon cross. Mark these words.
He is careening out of control -- we are witnessing his unwinding. He is all too close to going too far.

February 15, 2008 - 01:44 ET by ConservativeRexI don't know as though I'd call New Orleans a vagina, but it's close.
Oh for crying out loud!!!!
February 14, 2008 - 20:51 ET by motherbeltOh for crying out loud!!!! This is just unbelieveable!!
Some bitter old feminazi decides to hijack Valentine's Day and turn it into her personal soap box. Do the networks have to treat her like royalty every year?
It's getting to the point that it's "de rigeur" to have Ensler on the morning shows every year, for the purpose of saying the word "vagina." Yea, Eve, we get it. You can stop now.
Why the networks allow this woman to use this holiday for the promotion of her own agenda (and please, spare me the lecture about "violence against women") is beyond me.
Give it a rest, already, Eve.
mother, Those two women

Those two women don't have an ounce of sense between them. Where did they dig up Fonda anyway....give me break!

February 14, 2008 - 21:44 ET by fitzfongNew Orleans, the vagina of America? Fonda and Ensler should know. Being two of the biggest douches in America, they've been there.
Douche
February 15, 2008 - 13:29 ET by okiehawk44Even the biggest douche in the world couldn't cover the stench coming from these two. Jane, we have not and will never forget your treason!
Can anyone imagine what
February 14, 2008 - 22:02 ET by rbosqueCan anyone imagine what would happen if a conservative had said that? Do you think they would have been invited back on the same day? Forget about all the howling from the nutty left.
Jane Fonda still needs to pay for TREASON. Last I checked it was against ANY country's laws.
I can't imagine anything
February 14, 2008 - 22:05 ET by zhombreI can't imagine anything more insipid than trotting out these two aging feminist biddies, both as smug and prissy and pampered as Siamese cats, in order to dis Valentine's Day and quash any romantic impulses in the name of their brittle, sanctimonious PC. Fonda and Ensler (founds like a cheap law firm where you go for a PI suit or to file a quickie Chapter 7) personify solipsism. Look at that photo that accompanies this post. Those broads look as cold and iconic as figures from medieval art. I love women, but I hate these ice queens.

Nothing but s*** has come from there as long as I can remember, the air around it is brown, and it produces a stink I can smell from the heartland.

I know there's a joke in here somewhere...
February 15, 2008 - 05:14 ET by sarcasmoAny politician using the words "first vagina friendly" to describe himself in any way relies heavily on the inherent crappiness of the socialist school system when it comes to teaching history.

Eve Enser
February 15, 2008 - 13:48 ET by Itty-Bitty-CommitteeSo nice that NBC gives a platform to a woman who touted the rape of a child in her play, The Vagina Monologues.
"It was a 'good' rape."
Only later did she remove that line from the play. Her sentiment, as far as I could tell/research, hasn't changed.
The other "C" word.
