Ashley Judd's D.C. Speech Already Being Picked Apart, Natch

Although she never addressed this directly, she did respond to one student’s question about her run for office with: “Is there an elephant in the room?”

Judd has kept things low-key as the rumors surrounding her run heat up, abstaining from TV or print interviews. Naturally, both liberals and conservatives alike are skeptical of whether her bid for Senate is a good idea; Dems think she can’t win, Republicans consistently try to poke holes in her agenda. This time, they’ve already excerpted clips of some celebrity-isms scattered in her speech that supposedly betray her eight-generation Kentucky roots. For example, above, she says that her family “winters in Scotland.” RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE.
