A short history of Ashley Judd’s more bizarre comments
— On her decision not to have kids with her husband: “It’s unconscionable to breed, with the number of children who are starving to death in impoverished countries.”
- On her comparing mountaintop removal to the Rwandan genocide: “President Clinton has repeatedly said doing nothing during the genocide in Rwanda in 1994 is the single greatest regret of the Presidency. Yet here at home, there is full blown environmental genocide and collapse happening, and we are doing nothing. Naturally, I accept that I set myself up for ridicule for using such strong terms, or perhaps outrage from human victims of slaughter.”
- On fathers giving daughters away at weddings: “To this day, a common vestige of male dominion over a woman’s reproductive status is her father ‘giving’ away her away to her husband at their wedding, and the ongoing practice of women giving up their last names in order to assume the name of their husband’s families, into which they have effectively been traded.”

She sounds like a normal Democract. They will still vote for her.

Daily Caller needs to think like the left and wait till after she’s the nominee to publish this stuff

To be fair, Kentuckians did elect a man whose god is Aqua Buddha. Would it be too much of a stretch for them to choose a woman who worships Barack Obama?
steebo77 on February 26, 2013 at 12:24 PM
So you don’t live any where near KY., right?
That would be attempted humour, right?
JFKY on February 26, 2013 at 12:27 PM
Has she written a cookbook or said she has ‘high cheekbones’? That is a slam dunk for a d gal to get elected?

…..and that’s precisely why her husband dumped her !
This certifiably cowardly woman ( ? ) should go ……….

Give her the office next to Al Frankenfool. Well, she’s gotta win first.
platypus on February 26, 2013 at 12:30 PM
I like the story I read before when she was a First Class passenger which included the quotes “I was annoyed by the clinking of the glasses in the galley. I told the Flight Attendants to stop it. They gave me attitude. I cried all the way from LA to London.” Think the WashPo would be interested in that having researched Republican candidates back to kindergarten? Nahhhhhh….

Puffy is just plain nuts. Of course, most liberals are …

Now according to Honda and other strange folks, Judd IS preferable to McConnell, but only if you like Post-Apocalyptic Role Playing Games.
JFKY on February 26, 2013 at 12:32 PM
Number of Democrat candidates who will be pressed by the media to say if they agree with Judd’s wacky comments: zero
Mark1971 on February 26, 2013 at 12:39 PM
What is the point of all this..?
We have a man who made similar or even worse comments residing in the White House.
NeoKong on February 26, 2013 at 12:41 PM
Obama socialist, anti-colonial, anti-white, pro-redistribution, pro-global warming, and pro-muslim (I think he’s athetist). The democrat voters, voted for him twice in huge numbers. She and Obama have slimilar beliefs. I think that is now typical Democrat voter beliefs.
Oil Can on February 26, 2013 at 12:45 PM
And did Ky. vote FOR Obama? Come on you can do it, do some research, you can do it….you don’t just have to talk out of your @rse, just try here, work with me.
JFKY on February 26, 2013 at 12:55 PM
She sounds like one of the Manson Family girls.
portlandon on February 26, 2013 at 12:57 PM
She reminds me of that quote from the James Bond movie
Diamonds are Forever.

Lighten up Francis.

Cozmo, I get tired of the deatism on this board for one thing….”Oh well, Democrats are all (insert perjorative here) and the GOP is selling us out and everything is doomed.”
Just take that attitude to the bridge, plug yourself in Marvin, and kill the bridge, but perosnally I really don’t see the value of it.
JFKY on February 26, 2013 at 1:04 PM
I’m not talking about the typical Kentucky voter (I think that’s the confusion between you and me), I’m talking about the typical Democrat voter. She won’t win Kentucky, it’s super red. What I am saying is that her views are not so different from the Democratic voter even in Kentucky. Democracts are self-hating Americans.
Oil Can on February 26, 2013 at 1:09 PM
Gallows humor. You have to find entertainment where you can in this 0bama world.
Do you seriously think think the good people of Kentucky would sent a vapid socialist to congress? Kentucky ain’t Minnesota.
cozmo on February 26, 2013 at 1:10 PM
And you’d be wrong, with the line “I am saying is that her views are not so different from the Democratic voter even in Kentucky.” It doesn’t even follow logically from your statement that she will lose….because Ky is very Democratic. It may be a Red State, but that says nothing about party affiliation. So she is either close to “typical Democratic votes, even in kentucky” and hence she will win, considering the state is at least 60% D…or she is NOT like a typical Ky voter…
She may be a typical Hollywood Democrat…or a typcial NYC Democrat, I don’t know.
JFKY on February 26, 2013 at 1:17 PM
To me it’s gone beyond gallows humour and has become Croix de Feu defeatism….more and more, on this board, I hear the equivalent of “Nous Somme Trahis (We were betrayed).”
It didn’t serve the French Army well on the Meuse in 1940, and it doesn’t serve us well in 2013.
JFKY on February 26, 2013 at 1:22 PM
Lighten up Francis.
cozmo on February 26, 2013 at 1:23 PM
Why? Do the complainers, ever “lighten up?” I mean it’s a constant litany of doom and gloom and betrayal….
JFKY on February 26, 2013 at 1:27 PM
Well, you can continue to pee into the wind, go get a room with blue gills and minnisoter and be all serious all the time, or you can roll with it, have fun with it and enjoy life a little more cause the rest of the folks here ain’t going to bend to your will.
Your choice Francis.
cozmo on February 26, 2013 at 1:32 PM
Too early. Encourage her to run and then spare no expense or effort in nationalizing her as the face of the new democrat party.
forest on February 26, 2013 at 1:43 PM
Her and Nancy could be bookends.
cozmo on February 26, 2013 at 1:47 PM
Funny Cozmo I think I am funny and light-hearted, quite often, but tell me what was funny or light-hearted about the folks I complained about?
Was Oil Can being light-hearted?
JFKY on February 26, 2013 at 1:55 PM
He was stating what he believed. A belief shared by many.
And until the empty headed bimbo runs and looses big, a belief that could come to pass.
He just hasn’t gotten his panties in a wad, unlike some here.
cozmo on February 26, 2013 at 1:58 PM
She has a shady mental health past so I don’t see how she could do well in an election. I think the opposition could start ripping her to shreds and she would end up with a breakdown of some sort. I did like her in “Bugs” and I don’t think she really had to act all that much. I’ve had a couple of certified crazy aunts and both had a certain aura about them that she seems to also have. She is the type you have to tread softly around least you trip their crazy switch to on.

I’m waiting for someone to confuse Emily’s List with Angie’s List.
ExpressoBold on February 26, 2013 at 2:44 PM
Sorry to insert myself into this discussion, but the “We are doomed! We are doomed!” crowd are the ones who have their panties in a wad.
It’s almost as if they preferred to lose, because they enjoy being the underdogs.
