Ashley Judd Stumps With Bill, Calls HRC "Feminist"

ABILENE, TX -- A new addition to the HRC trail is actress Ashley Judd, who dropped by an airplane hangar rally to introduce former president Bill Clinton in Abilene, TX, last night. Clinton arrived more than two hours late to crowds soaked to the bone from waiting in the same tortential rainstorm that delayed the president's arrival by plane.

Clinton said that Judd joined him because "she just happened to be here" and affectionately noted that, "In 1996, she introduced me once in her native Kentucky, and we won Kentucky in 1996."

"So I hope she's our good luck charm, and you'll win Texas for Hillary," he added.

Judd, clad in a summery red dress, briefly touted the New York senator's record, notably calling her "a feminist." (Bill, perched against the cab of the pickup truck from which both made their remarks, looked on appreciatively.)

Did Bill try to ravish her?

Is this news item written in code? There certainly seems to be a subtext, which almost becomes open text in the last sentence, that there is more to the story of Bill Clinton and Ashley Judd than is being publicly reported. Is there?

And we care what miss franchitti says for what? Puleez, don't insult the voters by putting another pretty face in on the stage. I don't even want to get into Eva "Longboria" touting HRC, either.

They must be desperate for pretty faces or something.
