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"):
Her mistake was being married to the father of her kids. If she had stayed unwed and not bothered to go to college, she could have become a brainless mouthpiece on a cheap reality show, mechanically repeating talking points scripted for her by the people who pay her rent. In other words: bootstraps.
The short answer is this: Bristol Palin opens her mouth to say something mean-spirited, stupid, and inaccurate. This buys Wendy Davis 5 free minutes on the teevee. Thanks, Bristol!
Here's a longer answer: In the TX gubernatorial race, Wendy is going to have to show that she is as badass as the baddest. She has to wear the damn 10-gallon hat and the six-shooters, and be all sassy and tough and gristly and at the same time feminine and cute, and remind people over and over that she is A Mom. If she can follow the Ann Richards playbook, she could well be elected governor this fall.
Running for higher office as a woman in Texas is like running for higher office as a woman in 1956.
Let me say this in a language that the Palins claim to understand. <a href="http:\/\/biblehub.com\/matthew\/7-5.htm" target="_blank">Matt. 7:5</a>.
gotta agree with that. It may have irked the wingnuts when Bamz quoted that line from the untouchables about bringing a knife to a gunfight but those wingnuts would find (or invent) something to be irked about regardless and he was right. Politics is a blood sport and turning the other cheek usually just means you&#039;ll get hit twice
Too many syllables.

To be fair, Sarah rarely comes to anyone&#039;s defense except her own.
Blah blah momma grizzly yadda yadda.

Did you reserve your snark for the offspring of Cheney, Paul or Bush, Sr.? Griftette Jr. opened the door, step on through and join the party.
Would that be like the tickle pink wine cooler
needs moar self awareness
The sneaker up Bristol&#039;s arse is a good start.
Now we need something to plug the shit that speweth from her piehole like a BP oil derrick. Where&#039;s Red Adair?

I think she kicked off her boots on the way to the tent.
It was good that Davis issued a correction but it&#039;s not like facts ever changed a Palin&#039;s mind. Facts are liberal.
