Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) doesn't want actress, activist and potential Democratic candidate Ashley Judd as his fellow Kentucky senator, but he doesn't expect her to get there anyway, he said Wednesday.

"She's way damn too liberal for our country, for our state," he told radio station WMAL. "She hates our biggest industry, which is coal. I say, good luck bringing the 'I hate coal' message to Kentucky."
