GOP Strategist Calls Alison Lundergan Grimes 'An Empty Dress' [View all]

A month after Kentucky Democratic senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes pulled slightly ahead of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R) in the polls, Republican strategists seem to be sharpening their claws.
Brad Dayspring, communications director for the National Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, called Grimes an empty dress in an interview with The Hill published Wednesday.
The insults continued from there. Alison Lundergan Grimes seems incapable of articulating her own thoughts, and faced with questions, either directly parrots the talking points handed to her by [Sen.] Chuck Schumer or she babbles incoherently and stares blankly into the camera as though shes a freshman in high school struggling to remember the CliffsNotes after forgetting to read her homework assignment, Dayspring told The Hill.
"This degrading and offensive comment from McConnell's campaign team is appalling and he should condemn it immediately," Grimes spokeswoman Charly Norton told The Huffington Post. "It shows his team's true feelings towards women and continues his disgraceful pattern of not standing up for the women of Kentucky. From misleading Kentuckians on his votes against the Violence Against Women Act, to voting against equal pay for equal work, Senator McConnell has failed to lead on issues important to women and their families."
