Ashley Judd has decided not to run for Senate against Mitch McConnell.  One reason is that she didn't want to have to run a primary against another Democrat Alison Grimes.  Cenk read that Bill Clinton pushed Grimes to run so that Judd wouldn’t.   The rest of the establishment Democrats were against her running because she would be a progressive.  Louis Gohmert got into an argument with parking enforcement when he got a parking ticket for parking his car in a National Parks spot.  Gohmert claimed that the police apologized and took the ticket back, but the police report didn't say so.   Video of Bill O’Reilly and Megyn Kelly pointing out that the gay marriage debate favors the liberal point of view, while opposition only thumps the Bible.  Rush Limbaugh responded negatively to O’Reilly’s observation.  Limbaugh later admitted that the gay marriage issue would be won by Liberals.
