Ashley Judd responds to American Crossroad ad

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/reliable-source/post/ashley-judd-responds-to-american-crossroad-ad/2013/02/06/8a6d07ae-7099-11e2-ac36-3d8d9dcaa2e2_blog.html

An Ashley Judd Senate campaign is barely more than rumor and hypothetical now — but a conservative super PAC is already coming out swinging.

In a new Web ad, Karl Rove-affiliated American Crossroads dings the actress with soundbites from her own speeches and interviews unlikely to play well in conservative Kentucky: One where she vows “I will go wherever the president wants me to go,” another where she proclaims herself “a radical”; she also sings the praises of Obamacare.

But possibly most damning? The clip where the possible Mitch McConnell challenger tells an audience: “It just clicked: Tennessee is home.”

Indeed, the Kentucky native and UK grad’s primary residence is currently near Nashville. The quote comes from a speech she gave to the Tennessee delegation at the Democratic National Convention in September, where she explained at greater length her family roots and growing up on both sides of the border.

She was right to call Tennessee home. And Kentucky home. That was so...Rovian. You would think KKKarl had learned new tricks by now.

So, when Morning Jerk and CNN and Faux Snooze play this ad over and over and over this morning, here is a little context.

He might just help her win the nomination at this rate.
