Next week’s CPAC attendees will be rubbing shoulders with their conservative heroes, but they’ll also get a chance to see a high-profile liberal and possible challenger to Mitch McConnell: Ashley Judd.
Judd plays First Lady Margaret Asher in the upcoming movie “Olympus has Fallen,” a film in which North Korean terrorists take over the White House. According to CPAC’s schedule, the movie will screen at the Friday night of the Conservative Political Action Conference, the annual blockbuster conservative event that this year takes place March 14-16, in National Harbor, Md., near Washington, D.C. It will air in CPAC’s theater, which is sponsored by Citizens United.
Okay even though this movie features EXACTLY the kind of national security fear mongering that the Right Wing depends on to attract supporters, AND it features one of their new boogeymen North Korea, I still find it odd that they would screen it for this convention. I wonder if there is some calculus?
“The production company approached us and it looked like a good movie and we put it up, we’re not putting any money toward it,” said Jeff Marschner, a spokesman for Citizens United, who added that they have not yet reviewed the film, but that “there’s no calculus.”
Really? There is NO other reason for showing this film other than "the production company approached us?" Which by the way also sounds like bullshit. There MUST be some other motivation.
“I think she dies in the first two minutes,” he added.
Aha! I knew it!
Somehow I seriously doubt that it is a coincidence that the movie CPAC is showing has a death scene featuring one the "Hollywood liberals" they fear the most in it.
I guess they were afraid to show one of her films where she appears topless knowing full well that the horny, Viagra snorting old men in the audience would all start to give money to her campaign en masse.
So pathetic.
P.S. You can see the trailer for the movie here. If you are so inclined.
