No complaints about our story lines or we will show Betty White flashing
Forgive us our intermittent fascination with the prospects of Ashley Judd actually receiving the Democratic nomination to run for the US Senate from Kentucky. It is but the latest example of how absurd politics can be. Of course our view is let her be the nominee and then proceed to destroy the Democrat Party in Kentucky.
The lesson from the other absurd elections comprising politics hinted at in the title to this post is that both Democrats and Republicans (less so) and no-party people can be victorious with essentially absurd candidates. Vox populi can be absurd, but there is normally enough common sense present that with reasonably uncompromised alternative candidates and the willingness and ability to respond to and to attack cogently, the better person can prevail. Here are a few more items of note from the Ashley heap of stories. From our dedicated Demizen editor WM:
- Ashley Judd is saying this in interviews and it’s being received as a badge of honor in the Democrat interwebs! Is this going to be her campaign slogan? From the Democratic Underground blog: I’ve been raped twice so I think I can handle Mitch McConnell
- From Brietbart: The 44-year-old actress revealed in a 2012 interview that her dog “Shug” is registered as a “psychological support” dog. She keeps her two dogs and five cats on film sets but assured she can do her job without them present. “It just adds to the quality of life,” she explained.
And our illustrious senior editor asks: Why just Senate? Ashley for President!
Yes. Some may say that Ashley Judd running for the US Senate is absurd. But, consider: Democrats have voted for Elizabeth Warren, Maxine Waters, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Dave Loebsack, just to name a few of the Party’s intellectual luminaries.
Seems to me Ashley has an edge over each of these, with the exception of Congressperson Schultz. Ashley not only has “Shug” as her “psychological support” but she also has six other pets to provide her with political and intellectual counsel.
Incidentally, while it hasn’t been confirmed, it’s my understanding that the credit for Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s intellectual prowess actually can be attributed to the wise counsel of her pet inchworm whom she refers to affectionately as “Soetoro”. R Mall, WM, DLH
The dorks over at the Democrat Underground and Huffpost are fired up about this coming Ashley Judd announcement. I am being dead serious here. I combed over the comment section for about 20 minutes yesterday and almost all of them are cheering her on.
And the very few commentors with 2 brain cells left who dared comment that she might lose because she has zero experience and has a Al Goreish stance on coal/enviornment (when KY has 100k coal jobs) were swiftly shouted down.
Oh and she will be making it official when she attempts to hi-jack the Kentucky Derby with here announcement I guess. Pretty good strategy to get free publicity though. I’m sure they will only cut to her in the crowd and talk about it 10 times.
