Account of Ashley Judd in Africa - saved from the lawyers!
In defense of Ms. Judd, this stuff happens. Well not quite like that but recoiling from icky things far from home .. happens.
Our battalion was the sponsor of an orphanage in Okinawa. What that meant in practice at my level was that every so often a group of us would 'volunteer' to chop brush and do scut work at the place. On Saturday. Thanks, Top.
Japanese orphanages (so I was told at the time) are places where the refuse ends up. If you're gimpy, and an orphan, you're going to be spending your life there because no one is going to adopt damaged goods. You see that in America but over there it's an iron clad cultural rule. Got a gimp? Are you retarded? Defective in some fashion? Are you an orphan? Get used to life at the bottom.
Or so I was told. That could be all wrong of course and Japanese people just adore imperfect kids and adopt them by the bushel. There sure were a lot of gimpy, retarded kids running (and gimping) around at the orphanage.
ANYway. In the course of the brush chopping and avoiding habu a retarded child with a gimp came up and hugged one of our WMs. Ewww the look on her face said he's .. touching me.
I can only imagine that if Ashley Judd was poor and white trash instead of a rich boob playing Samaritan she might have acted the same way.

Meanwhile, we went to clinics. We went to an orphanage. We went to Soweto. And we saw horrible things. Dire things. Things like a kid so poor he glided past us on a single rollerblade. Yeah -- one on one foot. That impressed me. And every place we went, Ashley Judd swooped down like a good Southern matron and hugged the small children. She cried with destitute mothers. She stroked the heads of poor black people. The photographers from Glamour and Conde Nast loved it. And then, she's back in the car, and Ashley is tired, and Ashley is sick, and Ashley needs acupuncture. I asked the (deprecated) senior person whether maybe Ashley was a bit spoiled, and she told me the story of how Ashley refused to do their first promotional tour to Cambodia unless she was allowed to fly British Airways first class all the way. That's quite an expense for us as a humanitarian organization....but we ended up having to do it.A profound love for humanity, but no time for humans: the very picture of the narcissist celebrity leftist.
