ASHLEY JUDD UPDATE: “I’ve been raped twice, so I think I can handle Mitch McConnell:”

That lovely little tidbit was buried in Howard Fineman’s fawning HuffPo profile of the “fearless” Ashley Judd, but The Daily Caller drew attention to it in an article today.

Gosh, wasn’t it HuffPo that smeared Steven Crowder for supposedly making a rape joke about Judd? But when Judd tosses around the word rape, she gets a virtual lapdance from Fineman. In his March 9 article, Fineman praised Judd’s progressiveness and squeed over how she was “born to campaign.”

Born to campaign … on behalf of Mitch McConnell? If so, she’s doing a bang-up job.

Heh.™
