Normally I wouldn’t post a video of Ashley looking nice (which, as much as it pains me to say it, she does here), but I couldn’t resist with this one. In it, she says that McCain has a “zero voting record AGAINST women’s privacy and reproductive health” and “Senator Obama has a 100 percent voting record FOR women’s privacy and reproductive health.” Now, I’m not going to rip on her for mis-speaking and making it sound like they have the exact same voting record (although that’s exactly what she did), because I know what she was trying to say, but I will FREELY AND HAPPILY rip on her for mispronouncing Palin’s name. Gawd.
Also, I’m not at all wanting to get into any sort of abortion debate, but let’s be real here. When she says, “Women’s privacy and reproductive health” she is actually saying “The ability for underage girls to abort their babies without parental consent.” Why sugarcoat and try to make it sound like something it isn’t? That is exactly the voting record she’s referring to.
HATE HATE HATE.
In an extended version of the same video, she says that in order to improve the way men in the Democratic Republic of Congo think about women, that she thinks there should be campaign to send, to mens’ cell phones, text messages to introduce positive behavior-change. I am not making this up.
Yeah - that’ll help. I’m sure if some dude in the Congo thinks women are objects, a text message saying “Women are awesome!” will turn him right around. Great idea, Ash.
I can see it now:
“Hey, your phone is vibrating!”
“Oh! I have a text message! I hardly ever get those, as I live here in the jungle of the Congo!”
“What does it say?”
“It says ‘Women are awesome!’”
“Woah! Alltel is right! I never noticed before, but women ARE awesome!”
*Democratic Republic of the Congo changes name to “‘Women are Awesome’ Believers of the Congo”.
I think we need a reality show and Ashley can host it. We’ll stick Ashley in the middle of Congo, and she (super hero woman that she is) will be responsible for changing the way all men in the Congo think about women. We shall all live in peace, love and harmony because of Ashley. Maybe she can buy the world a coke and keep it company, la la la la la.
I’m sure abortion was part of her privacy and reproductive health. But there was a big stink about McCain not being able to justify why birth control pills weren’t covered by some health something or other and Viagra was. Which is, or course, crappy.
I’m not debating abortion, but his position is about more than underage women. He wants to overturn Roe v Wade, and he doesn’t support sex education or providing birth control for impoverished women. He doesn’t think contraception should be covered by insurance. He does believe in allowing abortion in the case of rape or incest, but his running mate does not. Very strong anti-choice ticket.
She needs to give those pearls a rest.
Oh my God, she mispronounced Palin’s name??? That is like SO totally embarrassing. Like how could she have done such a RIDICULOUS thing like pronouncing it the way MOST names with a second A sound? Man, what an idiot she is. Stupid woman wanting woman’s rights. Who does she think she is?
We finally agree, Sarah. It IS ridiculous to mispronounce the name of the woman running for VP of your own country! If you’re going to present yourself as well-informed and well-educated about this election, which Ashley clearly likes to do, then she ought to take the time to at least know how to say the name of the woman she is so opposed to. It’s great that you finally agree on her stupidity.
Olivia,
Don’t you realize that men’s ability to get it up is WAY more important than us preventing unwanted children? As much as I’d like to say life is fair, we women still make 80 cents to a man’s dollar in this country.
The boner, I’m afraid, still rules.
I still love my country, though, because at least I’m not in the Congo, waiting on text messages from Ashley Judd.
FYI Pat Buchanan tonight, after the Vice Presidential debates, was saying how great Palin did, and pronounced her name incorrectly. Several times. Actually the same EXACT way that Ashley Judd did. Interesting.
Not going to recognize that fact? You seemed to think it was a pretty big issue that she didn’t pronounce Palin’s name correctly, yet Pat, her supporter also did. Shouldn’t he know how to pronounce it??
Everyone should know how to pronounce it. Pat must have had one too many before he went on….
Earth to Sarah. I’m not sure if you noticed, but I have a whole category on here about Hating Ashley Judd. What that means, and I’ll type this reeeeeaaallly slow…is that I enjoy mocking her when she says stupid crap (which, thankfully, is often).
When I start a category on Pat Buchanan, I’ll be sure to add his mispronunciation in it.
