Wendy Davis Politely And Respectfully Puts Pink Sneaker Up Bristol Palin’s Ass

by Doktor Zoom


Here is Wendy Davis calmly and politely calling Bristol Palin a liar. We’ll admit we’re of two minds about this — on the one hand, it might have been better not to respond at all to the griftjunior’s dumb lies, because honestly. There’s definitely something to be said for above-the-fraying it. On the other hand, by god, it’s good to see her not just sit there and take it, to defend herself — though she’s far from defensive, and she doesn’t reply in kind, except to simply say, in reply to a mean line from Bristol’s blog (which Ramos incorrectly calls a “tweet”):

With all due respect to Miss Palin, of course, nothing that was said in that tweet is true … I am very proud of the mother that I have been to my daughters. I have always been and will always be the most important female in their life.”

Now, what we really must focus on here is that Davis clearly doesn’t know blogs from tweets when they’re read to her on teevee. Can we really entrust to her the great state of Texas?

So yeah, while we’re wishy-washy on the whole “above the fray” thing, we’re 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.

“Those allegations are really absurd, Jorge,” she replied. “My life story is my life story. I am a young woman who had lived in poverty for many years before I was able to work and lift myself out of that place, and I know that there are Texans across the state that are facing the same challenges that I once faced.”

On the other hand, huge scandal — she wasn’t 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.

1. It's too damn bad that Dems have to waste valuable

time responding to vicious idiots but we have fox, Limbaugh, and the palin ilk to not thank for that.

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

2. she does need to stop saying THAT

"I am a young woman who had lived in poverty for many years before I was able to work and lift myself out of that place,..."

She didn't work and lift herself out of poverty. She married out of poverty.

Also, that headline is awful.

5. I disagree. Her story is her story.

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.

7. Had she been born

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.

8. Her career happened because of the hard work she did in college and everything after that....

That's a fuckload of hard work you refuse to give her credit for.

Is that because she excelled at it?

9. I expect to see shit like this on Facebook.

To see it on DU (on several occasions) is pretty disheartening.

3. Hey, Bristol. Levi's still waiting for you to let him see his kid every once in a while.

You know, like you're supposed to.

4. It only shows the depth of teabagger fear.

6. My Nana was a Widow

at 34 with 2 young children. Not a SINGLE MOM? She also refused all help from her husband's family, and all MARRIAGE offers her entire life.

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.

10. Juanita Jean has some good comments about the Palin's spawn comments

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 senator’s 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. Palin’s complaint is that Wendy Davis didn’t 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 mother’s fame and then point a finger at someone else?

Oh the experts on motherhood on the right.

Bristol Palin should keep her mouth shut.
