It seems as though Campaign 2012 is already underway.

In a new video advertisement, Hollywood personality Ashley Judd slams Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin--former running mate of Sen. John McCain in his failed bid for the presidency--for her support of aerial wolf hunting in the state.

"Now back in Alaska, Palin is again casting aside science and championing the slaughter of wildlife," says Judd.

1. Beautiful and Smart. Ashley Judd, that is. nt

[monmouth]

2. Superb actor with a superb brain. Thank you Ashley...n/t

[Sydnie]

3. That must be causing some rift in her family .... since Mom Judd campaigned FOR Palin

Wouldn't want to be at that family dinner table these days.

7. I dunno, they always seemed well adjusted & normal

Healthy families can handle political differences. I have mostly Republican cousins (tho two of them voted for Obama), and even our political conversations are civil (unless my sister gets involved; she always makes Democrats look bad).

9. Her mom is a fruitcake, but Ashley Judd seems to realize that

Luckily, her father isn't.

16. Years ago, I saw Mama Judd on Celebrity Jeopardy

(and usually the celebrity Jeopardy is a little, uh, easier than the regular show). She couldn't answer any of the questions. Seriously. The poor woman didn't have any knowledge at all. Meanwhile, the late Jerry Orbach was racking up the highest score.
Ashley, however, has been quite the activist over the years. She's always been informed, articulate, and gracious.

21. Naomi Judd is a typical republican hypocrite...

she used public assistance for years in order to support her daughters and to go to nursing school.
But, of course, she is not a "welfare queen" because she is white. Real white.

25. Too bad moma Judd

is a brainwashed tool.

[PM Martin]

4. The good one.

5. go girl...hometown girl!

6. Ashley Judd's doing good work.

Helping keep people aware that Palin's an extreme rural
maniac.

8. LOVE HER -- and have since "Star Trek: TNG" and "Sisters"

Her youth AIDS work in French-speaking Africa has been amazing. And, she has almost totally "decelebed" the way she lives (ie clothing, cars, etc.)

She was a French major and speaks fluent French -- she almost went into the Peace Corps instead of acting.

18. she was the first girl Wil Wheaton kissed - on TV anyway

what a great intro to the opposite sex

[BirminghamExaminer]

19. I love her too but was she in Star Trek TNG?

Was she in an episode of TNG? I have all the episodes on obsolete video tape but don't remember which episode she was in.

22. "The Game"

She was Ensign Robin Lefler. It was the episode that was a parody of Invasion of the Body Snatchers where everyone was under mind control from a hologame worn on your head that Riker brought back from Risa.

23. Remember the episode "The Game"?

Lt. Robin Lefner (sic). She was in an episode before that and one after it. They offered her a full-time gig, but she turned them down for "Sisters" and "Ruby in Paradise." In the last ST movie, they had her and Wesley as married, but the scene was cut.

10. Thank you, Ashley, for calling the bloodthirsty fascist pin-up girl onto the carpet

[malaise]

11. Love it

I saw the ad on GEM$NBC - perfect.

12. Good woman, great neighbor and friend of mine here in middle Tennessee.

Thanks, Ashley.

It's high time we armed bears (and wolves) in Alaska so they can help us put Rethug ignorance, arrogance and air-headedness on the endangered list.

14. Great post! thanks! nt

[ultrarunner]

27. Neighbor and friend

How lucky you are to live close to someone who cares about other issues as much as herself. Ashley's mother is the third cousin of my step mother BTW. My mother-in-law grew up in Colemont near Tracey City, Tn.

13. Happy to hear that!

If Puppykiller Palin is going to keep trying to slime her way onto the national stage, she needs to be exposed and excoriated at every turn.

[hamsterjill]

20. Yes she does!

No quarter for that "one crazy bitch"!

[SalmonChantedEvening]

15. Bravo Ashley!

:applause: :loveya: :fistbump:

[samsingh]

17. good for Ashley

[Zomby Woof]

24. She's the smart Judd

Her mother Naomi, and sister Wynonna were supporters of both Bushes, and followers of abusive drunken TV preacher Robert Schuller. I am glad Ashley was able to transcend her upbringing.

26. she's as pretty on the inside as the outside. thanks, honey. go get her.
