Potential U.S. Senate candidate and rape metaphor enthusiast Ashley Judd has compared coal mining to rape and expanded the definition of rape to include owning an iPhone. But surely there are still some rape analogies she hasn’t added to her repertoire, right?
Oh my gosh. Seriously? RT @jtLOL: “I've been raped twice, so I think I can handle Mitch McConnell.” http://t.co/713359lnSp”

Hey @AshleyJudd, did you really equate campaigning againts Mitch McConnell with being raped? http://t.co/E690f1gjah #UniteBlue

Looks like she did. “I have been raped twice,” she reportedly said at a private dinner last month, “so I think I can handle Mitch McConnell.” So now campaigning against a GOP senator is like rape?

That lovely little tidbit was buried in Howard Fineman’s fawning HuffPo profile of the “fearless” Ashley Judd, but The Daily Caller drew attention to it in an article today.
Gosh, wasn’t it HuffPo that smeared Steven Crowder for supposedly making a rape joke about Judd? But when Judd tosses around the word rape, she gets a virtual lapdance from Fineman. In his March 9 article, Fineman praised Judd’s progressiveness and squeed over how she was “born to campaign.”
Born to campaign … on behalf of Mitch McConnell? If so, she’s doing a bang-up job.

Ashley Judd talked about rape AGAIN? I'm starting to think Democrats may have a "rape" problem this election.

I imagine when Ashley Judd finishes a latte, she says "Man, I totally just raped that coffee."

Pro tip for McConnell:
Note to Mitch McConnell: Do NOT reference or reply in ANY way to Ashley Judd's rape comments. Nothing. Not a word. Silence. Got it?
