Ashley Judd Finds the Idea of Being a Senator "Intriguing"
Will we be addressing Ashley Judd as "Senator" one day? Of course not, stupid. But let's let her play this fun little game where she thinks she's way more important than she actually is. From the Chicago Sun Times:
A Judd candidacy seems to be taking some traction in the actress' native Kentucky, where the Louisville Courier-Journal reports a number of key Democrats are warm to the idea of her challenging GOP majority leader Mitch McConnell for re-election in 2014 -- clearly an ambitious undertaking, especially in Kentucky, long a reliably "red" state. Judd long has been active in Democratic and liberal causes and served as a Democratic National Convention delegate this past summer -- though from neighboring Tennessee.
She has told Hollywood pals that the idea is intriguing, and at a September forum about women in politics, sponsored by EMILY's List and Marie Claire magazine, the actress said, "I do receive a lot of encouragement to run ... and my sincere desire is to be useful. I want to serve ... and I may be doing that to the best of my capacity ... in the space I'm already operating in. Or, it may be time to look at possibly running for office."
Oh great, just what the Senate needs, another uninformed dope as a member. Look, nothing against Ashley, but aren't there better things she can do with her retirement than sink the country further into a depression? Ashley's political views fall in line with every douchebag Hollywood liberal's worldview -- and you know what that means, right? It means higher gas prices and less freedom for me. I really don't care if the world burns -- I just want to hop into my Hummer (old school H1 cool, not new school H2 poser), drive out to the forest, and go hunting for endangered species like the good ol' days. Is that too much to ask for?

Ashley Judd is not a
Ashley Judd is not a "Kentucky native" - she's a California native. If by "native" you mean the state where she was born. She's also one of those people who is surrounded by people who tell her she's smarter than she is. Combine that with her MASSIVE ego and narcissism, and she thinks she's qualified to be a U.S. Senator. Lord help us! Take it to the extreme - imagine 100 Ashley Judds running the country. Scary thought? Fortunately she's far too lazy and self-absorbed to actually want to work that hard, kiss babies, listen to constituents, and shake hands. So she's found the sweet spot - coyly not deny the rumors, so that people will keep talking it up and she'll get the ego boost, without actually having to campaign.
Which? Mitch McConnell would eat her for breakfast and not even burp afterwards. She is an intellectual lightweight despite her "mid-career" Harvard degree, which took all of 10 months to earn and is the laughingstock of the Ivy League - a cash cow for the university to charge vain rich people money to add a Harvard degree to their resume, without having to do any intellectual heavy lifting.
As for her political experience, everything she does as a "humanitarian" is PAID WORK. She has never debated anybody in her life. She has a few memorized talking points that she repeats over and over, mostly having to do with feminist issues and AIDS, but she knows nothing about foreign policy or the economy, and all her public speaking has not prepared her for the nastiness of a political campaign. She sits on panels in front of paid audiences who all agree with her point of view, she gives paid speeches (at $50,000 and up) and she fields creampuff questions from entertainment reporters. None of which has prepared her to face people who DISAGREE with her and can clean her clock with their own IQs.
Keep in mind, this is someone who went to the University of Kentucky because she didn't get in anywhere else, and was too dumb to know she had completed the course requirements to graduate, so she left school without her degree? She also bailed on her signed commitment to join the Peace Corps and instead took her BMW (that her sister Wynonna gave her) and drove to Hollywood. Where she traded up for a Mercedes her mother gave her, and lived in a rented house in Malibu that her family paid for. Then moved to a farmhouse in Tennessee that her sister Wynonna also gave her.
As for her running in Kentucky, where she hasn't lived for 20 years, she'd also have to answer to the parents of Kentucky for her comments - on the record - that it is "unconscionable to breed." Meaning, when they look at their children, they see people Ashley Judd - in her infinite arrogance - thinks should never have been born.
Yeah, I don't think so.
