Wendy Davis, the Texas state senator whose filibuster for abortion rights made her a Democratic superstar and launched her campaign for governor, has admitted to the Dallas Morning News that she lied about key events in her life, including her first divorce. Davis may even have lied under oath, testifying in a federal lawsuit over redistricting that "I got divorced by the time I was 19 years old," when in fact she was divorced at age 21.
Other missing details have included: her second husband paid her way through law school and she divorced him the day after the last payment was made; her ex-husband accused her in initial court filings of adultery, and was awarded custody of their two daughters; and she first ran for city council in Forth Worth as a Republican.
"My language should be tighter,” she said, admitting her campaign biography has been less than truthful.
It is not clear whether the article in the Dallas Morning News, by senior political writer Wayne Slater, is meant to be an exposé or a defense, presenting embarrassing details in the best light possible to present an overall picture of competence. One unidentified source, who said that Davis is "going to figure out a way to spin herself in a way that grabs at the heart strings," is also quoted as saying that "she’d be a good governor."
Regardless, the fact that Davis "blurred" her biography raises questions about her integrity. Her ex-husbandsaid she should not have needed to lie--that her real life is "a better narrative than what they’re trying to paint.”
The media tend to protect Democrats--notably, Barack Obama, Davis's contemporary at Harvard Law School--when they present false "composites" of their lives. . .

If the judge gave her ex husband custody of the kids she must have sure been a sorry mom.
And they lie all the time and get away with it. Just look at Hillary Clinton. Here are just a few of those that are trivial compared to her lies about serious issues such as Benghazi.
—Claimed she was named for Sir Edmund Hillary even though he was not famous until she was about 7 years old.
—Claimed she tried to join the military.
—Told a very detailed story about dodging bullets in Bosnia.
Maybe she can “marry” State Senator Kevin DeLeon from California. Can you imagine the collective intellect that union would produce?
And she left the kids with her husband while she attended Harvard! I turned down education/career opportunities because I wouldn’t leave my children. I still did OK.
Yep.
Actually one of the better “before” pics I have seen! :)
She got a boob job, but she didn’t get that thing on her face removed. ((shudder))
Typical Liberal—say waht sounds good and will win votes—the Truth has nothing to do with anything. Her day is done—She will never be Governor of anything.
Obama is amorphus , or a chimera
with no connection to reality..!!
or what they portray as reality.. is , inreality , an illusion !!
( think of it as " Three Card Montey " interspersed with lies !!)
and then you ' BET YOUR LIFE ' on it !!
Beauty is only skin deep. Ugly goes clear to the bone.
You really want to tick off a bunch of dims, just ask them when there are a gathering of DUmmies, if they are a room of democrats or a room of democratics. Most quit talking when that argument is made to their face, and they leave in anger. I do it on a regular basis.
So, she gets by on her looks?
Agreed, Sir.
Getting entwined into their panties can get to be quite fun at times.
“Democrats are scum.”
And, for the most part, scum are democrats—or worse.
This woman is definitely not Gov material. I am wondering why she thinks she has the experience to run for Gov. Oh, I forgot, the new strong woman(according to the real weakest women of them all)have to be someone like Hillary(need I say more and others like her)to get ahead. She’s another front willing to sell her soul.
Got news for you Wendy(which doesn’t seem to have penetrated your gnat like brain)real women know they are real women. They don’t have to cheat, lie and steal. They know who they are. They don’t need cowards like you telling them how to be and what to do.
That’s funny...I don’t care who ya are.
