Mainstream Scream: Ashley Judd calls Hillary Clinton best since Jefferson, Washington

This week’s example of the media’s lefty tilt features actress Ashley Judd and her declaration that Hillary Clinton is the “most overqualified candidate we've had since Thomas Jefferson or George Washington.”

Judd, who toyed with a Kentucky Senate bid, made her comments on Friday’s edition of Larry King Now, an Ora.TV show also carried on Hulu and broadcast on RT, the Russian TV channel. Her comments didn’t mention other qualified past candidates like George H.W. Bush or even Vice President Joe Biden.

ASHLEY JUDD: I mean, obviously, I love Hillary Rodham Clinton. ... And so, seeing her talk about early childhood vulnerability and brain development — man, that woman is stout! She is stout. So yes, I will be all-in when the time comes —

LARRY KING: You would endorse her. You would obviously endorse her.

JUDD: Of course, I would!

KING: Look at your enthusiasm, I mean — come on!

JUDD: And are there other qualified candidates? Absolutely. I think she might be the most overqualified candidate we’ve had since Thomas Jefferson or George Washington.

Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains our pick: “Hollywood in a nutshell. Awed beyond reason by Hillary Rodham Clinton and all things Hillary Rodham Clinton.”

Rating: Three out of five screams.
