Ashley Judd exploring Senate run
Politico, by Manu Raju

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 12/4/2012 1:31:11 PM

Ashley Judd vs. Mitch McConnell? It might not be as far-fetched as you think. The Hollywood movie star and eighth-generation Kentuckian is seriously exploring a 2014 run for the Senate to take on the powerful Republican leader, four people familiar with the matter tell POLITICO. In recent weeks, Judd has spoken with Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) about the possibility of a run, has discussed a potential bid with a Democratic pollster and has begun to conduct opposition research on herself to see where she’s most vulnerable in the Bluegrass State, sources say.

Just what we need. Another moron like Al Franken in Washington. s/o

She is a hateful, screeching pro-abort. I hope the people in Kentucky have more brains than the ones in Minnesota.

Never mind a parliament of whores, we´re rapidly moving toward a full-press government of buffoons.

I hope she considers it if only for the entertainment value of a Family Tree shaking. Her mother and her sister are both certifiable!

Ashley Judd is smart with the creds to do this, but she appears to be a far left Democrat. Talking to Gillibrand sort of proves that!

There are many things that US is following Japanese footsteps. This is one of them. Japanese political party brought the "stars" to get the number of the seats solely because they are known just like Judd. Besides, the other side is the perfect old outdated senator whom they will claim that is out of touch. Japan is full of part-timers and USA will be full of part-timers who work less than 30 hours a week. And Obamacare will cause forever red-ink for USA, just like medical cost is causing forever red-ink for Japan.

Oh why not? Bread and circuses baby. Bread and circuses. I predict zero gotcha questions and fawning coverage.

I´m pretty close to believing the only way out of it is through it. Perhaps our media run government should sink to the most ridiculous level possible. Meanwhile the story almost writes itself doesn´t it? Woo hoo Senator Judd! I can almost already hear Kerry, Franken, and whathisname from New York calling her ´´my good friend from Kentucky´´. Jeeze Louise the people we send to DC.

I used to have nothing but respect for her as she was able to carve out her own successful showbiz career after getting no help from her mom & sister. Then - she opened her mouth.

She is a far lefty whacko... with a lot of baggage, like mental problems. The MSM will never cover it though.

She has suffered from depression, along with millions of others. I wouldn´t vote for her because of her political beliefs or what I know of them so far, but are we really back in the Dark Ages where someone who has been treated for depression (and is leading a normal and successful life now) can´t achieve or run for public office without being stigmatized? She has been open and public about her health problem so what is there to "cover"?

OK...people. I don´t care if she has suffered from depression. Many have. However, that said, she is a true whack job. Have you ever watched her at a race when her husband wins...what an ego. It is all about her. He practically ignores her cause she is making a fool of herself. I think Washington has enough people who think the entire world revolves around them. I want someone elected who cares about the country and freedom for the people who live and work here. And, I don´t care how many degrees she has from wherever. Have family with many degrees from "good" places....no common sense, at all.

Oh, Miss Judd, what are your qualifications for running for high public office? May I see your resume? Have you run for public office before? Do you have relevant experience? Your education? Have you graduated from high school?


Reply 15 - Posted by: gagolfer, 12/4/2012 3:14:48 PM     (No. 9048359)

Since you asked I looked it up. Graduated from the University of Kentucky Honors Program with a major in French. Nominated for Phi Beta Kappa.

Well, we can´t say she doesn´t meet the checklist of qualifications for a Dem candidate.

Her younger race driver husband would probably be thrilled to have her do something that would get her out of pit row. She is the kind of wife that the racers loathe.

The worst was when she tried to climb atop his car at Indy and HE had to fend her off. Sensible people don´t climb on those $$$$ cars.

Her TV series was awful and lasted about a nanosecond. Two or maybe three episodes. Poof!

If Al Franken can get elected to the Senate and Obama can get himself elected and re-elected, why not Ashley Judd?
America´s through. Done. Finished. We can quit worrying about our country now and just concentrate on saving ourselves.

I remember a few years ago she was prominent in some sort of rally that lauded abortion. It could have been up to 10 years ago, but I haven´t forgotten her participation.

She makes me sick.

"It’s unconscionable to breed with the number of children who are starving to death in impoverished countries. I know it’s a strong opinion a lot of people won’t agree with and that’s not to say some day I might not feel a different impulse.” ~~Ashley Judd

I haven´t heard her take on low talent actresses making untold millions of dollars producing sub-par movies while millions of Americans work 2 or 3 jobs just to get by. Guess that hits to close to home.

U.S. military sources serving in North Africa are challenging the latest White House claim that the administration is applying "all the resources" at its disposal to bring the Benghazi attackers to justice, charging instead that the Obama administration knows who is responsible but is not acting. "They have let it slip by because of politics, and now we´ve taken all the correlation we had and dropped the ball because of risk (aversion) -- and now the security in Libya is more fragile than ever," one U.S. special operator told Fox News.

Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has apologized for remarks Monday in which he linked Oklahoma "cyclones" to climate change while berating Republicans for their stance on the issue -- around the time a massive tornado killed dozens in that state. A Whitehouse spokesman said Tuesday the politically charged remarks were pre-written as part of the senator’s weekly Senate floor speech on climate change. “Tragically and unbeknownst to the senator at the time, a series of tornadoes were hitting Oklahoma at the same moment he gave his remarks,” the spokesman said.

During a panel discussion on the Department of Justice seizing the phone records of Fox News’ James Rosen, Bret Baier revealed that the seizure included the phone records of Rosen’s parents. The entire panel agreed the scandal was an outrage, with Kirsten Powers pointing out that there have been a number of high-profile leaks from the Obama administration, but the only ones they seem interested in going after are the ones that make them look bad. Charles Krauthammer found it amazing that the government would make such a “huge assault on the first amendment” in trying to

A liberal think tank with close ties to the Obama administration took money from General Motors and other businesses it did not disclose while campaigning for policies benefitting those companies, according to The Nation magazine. Members of the “Business Alliance” of the Center for American Progress (CAP) include bailed out car company GM, unsafe Bangladeshi factory utilizer Walmart, and embattled solar energy company First Solar, according to a membership list obtained by the liberal magazine. CAP, whose chairman is Democratic Party power player John Podesta, was a major proponent of the auto bailout, which used

Juan Williams, a liberal commentator and a Fox News Channel contributor, criticized the Department of Justice (DOJ) for “criminalizing journalism,” when asked about Fox’s Chief Washington Correspondent James Rosen being labeled as a possible co-conspirator in a government leak investigation. “I think what you’ve got here is a situation where somehow, now, journalism has been criminalized, especially in this Rosen case,” Williams said on Fox & Friends on Tuesday. “There’s just no justification for somehow making it out that a reporter, who is trying to cultivate a source, by doing so is a co-conspirator in terms

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
