http://wonkette.com/540517Wendy Davis Politely And Respectfully Puts Pink Sneaker Up Bristol Palins Ass
by Doktor Zoom
Here is Wendy Davis calmly and politely calling Bristol Palin a liar. Well admit were of two minds about this on the one hand, it might have been better not to respond at all to the griftjuniors dumb lies, because honestly. Theres definitely something to be said for above-the-fraying it. On the other hand, by god, its good to see her not just sit there and take it, to defend herself though shes far from defensive, and she doesnt reply in kind, except to simply say, in reply to a mean line from Bristols blog (which Ramos incorrectly calls a tweet):
Now, what we really must focus on here is that Davis clearly doesnt know blogs from tweets when theyre read to her on teevee. Can we really entrust to her the great state of Texas?
So yeah, while were wishy-washy on the whole above the fray thing, were glad to see her simply reject the whole dopey premise that she abandoned her daughters when they were already in high school and college. Guess that makes us American liberals.
Davis also rejected the idea that she has misrepresented her personal story as if getting help with college from her second husband somehow negated the actual not-having-money before she met him.
On the other hand, huge scandal she wasnt really a single mom at 19, because until she was 21 she was only separated, not divorced, which means that her phantom marriage certificate magically made raising two daughters and living in a trailer park a complete breeze. Make a note, folks you can only call yourself a single parent once the ink is dry on the divorce. And people with reality shows are the ones who really have it hard.

The teabagged ones can't handle Wendy's life story so they start whining it's not her life story..

She didn't work and lift herself out of poverty. She married out of poverty.
Also, that headline is awful.

(8,515 posts)It is not easy to get an education while mothering two daughters. She certainly did lift herself out of poverty.
When I think of the many women of my generation who put their husbands through college, this idoiocy is disgusting, and from now on, we should ignore it. It is GOP trashing. Buying into it just fills their pockets.

(6,891 posts)rich, everything else about her life having been the same, no one would have had these discussions about it, especially the "hot trailer trash gold digger marries rich old sugar daddy, claws her way to the pinnacle of Texas politics" type mudslinging innuendo for which character assassins like Palin are so adept.

Is that because she excelled at it?

Oh, the horror of that. My Mom and Uncle still did not grow up to be a hooker or a criminal without a Dad in the home. My Mom said her memory of her Dad was not pleasant. My Uncle did not remember him at all.

(144,005 posts)Get this. Bristol Palin has a blog.Last week, Palin took to her blog to condemn Davis as downright pathetic after a report in the Dallas Morning News questioned some details of the state senators life story, including how long she lived in a trailer and when her divorce to her first husband went through.
So, let me get this right. Palins complaint is that Wendy Davis didnt live in a trailer long enough? And that she was 19 when she filed for divorce but a full grown and blossomed 21 when it was finalized?
Child, hush. You cash in on your mothers fame and then point a finger at someone else?
Oh the experts on motherhood on the right.
Bristol Palin should keep her mouth shut.
