Ashley Judd is the one who started criticizing Palin out of the blue - so shouldn't the headline be "Judd Picks a Fight with Sarah Palin" since that's closer to the truth?

Gov Palin defends herself from an unfair attack and she's the one making enemies.

Nice to know how things work around here.

The world would be a better place if we all were enemies of Judd.

The challenge is to follow a consistent plan despite inconsistent prices - Sarah Palin, State of the State of Alaska speech

The headline suggests that Palin intentionally riled up Ashley Judd. As if she was steeping on Ashley's toes or something.

Look, it's a free country. If this environmental group wants to exploit Ashley Judd's celebrity, to make the most persuasive case possible, fine. But the moment any group puts a celebrity as a spokesperson, know that you're being manipulated. And the consequence is, once you realize that you're being manipulated with celebrity and not facts, you have to wonder whether the facts are too weak to support their case.

It's especially obvious when it's a political message. Instead of promoting a policy based on facts, if they take shortcuts and use celebrities, I'm immediately skeptical. It's a tactic that shows a lack of confidence in the intellectual strength of a position.

That goes for both parties, by the way. Caveat emptor.

If those folks were really interested in protecting wildlife, they'd lobby to fund a program to support aerial hunting of cluless Hollywood personalities.  Just think of all the fur and leather that would be saved.  Just think of all the hot air and CO2 that would be kept from melting Alaska's snow and glaciers.

If only Ashley Judd could think...

Hate it when actresses that are easy on the eyes become hard on the ears.  She needs to stick to making movies in which she romps around in her panties for most of the film.

Ms Judd -- stop your shameless indulging in the POLITICS OF DEAR

 wotsizname  For about 5000 years an efficient animal husbandry program has been used in Alaska to prevent starvation of the human population.  If it were not workable and efficient there would be no human life remaining in Interior Alaska; a region in which there may be no road, and the nearest grocery store may be 50 or 100 miles away, and where hamburger may cost $8.00 a pound, if available, milk $6.00 a quart, and where there are few and low paying jobs.  The Native population know how to preserve populations of their wild livestock and survive themselves.  "Natural balance," does not work.  If predators enjoy an expanding cycle of, say, rabbits, when it's over, there are too many predators and they will work on the moose and caribou calves, killing for food and fun, and the people's livestock may be almost eliminated.  The people don't hunt for "fun," and use all of the animal, which they revere as part of life, and for giving its life that the people may live.  Trophy hunting is a European "sport."

If liberals really understood the environment they'd realize controling the predators in this humane way prevents them from overkilling the caribou and starving to death the next winter. 

Liberals hate strong, attractive, conservative women.

Gov. Palin does not seem like someone who would choose to have a lot of enemies.  She's seems more like someone who would embrace and befriend her enemies.
