Ever wonder what would happen if the media stopped literally fawning at Wendy Davis feet? It turns out she doesn’t respond well to criticism.
After losing a race for City Council in 1996, Wendy Davis filed a lawsuit against the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram citing “defamatory and libelous” remarks which caused her “to suffer damages to her mental health.”
The story of Davis’ unusual lawsuit was recounted by the San Antonio Express News Monday. The blog Sara for America has highlights:
Davis said in her lawsuit that the newspaper ran “a series of contrived and false news stories and editorials…with malicious intent.”
The lawsuit said “defamatory and libelous” remarks were made to inflict emotional distress and to deny her rights to free speech, assembly and association.
It said that “Davis has suffered and is continuing to suffer damages to her mental health, her physical health, her right to pursue public offices in the past and in the future, and to her legal career.” She sought unspecified damages, including “significant exemplary damages.”
One really has to stop and soak in the idea that Wendy Davis, a pure media creation attempting to translate her 15 minutes of pink-sneakered fame into a ticket to the Governor’s mansion, once sued a newspaper for hurting her feelings.
Actually, the paper wasn’t being unfair at all, it was pointing out that she was a sleazy candidate. From National Review:
Specifically cited [in the lawsuit[ is a Star-Telegram editorial published the day of the runoff election between Davis and opponent Cathy Hirt, whom the paper had endorsed. The editorial expressed “disappointment” at an opposition-research flier that Davis’s campaign had circulated in the days leading up to the election and that, among other things, attacked Hirt for failing multiple times to pass the Tennessee bar exam and raised questions about whether Hirt had practiced law in Texas illegally.

I would venture to say that Davis wasn’t mentally healthy to begin with. What a piece of work.
They must have published pictures of her pre-plastic surgery face. And speaking of nip/tuck, Wendy, you might want to get Dr. Troy to fix that glass jaw.
I recall Joe Bob Briggs saying “Beauty is only skin deep, but ugly goes clear to the bone.”
(I’m Texan, Joe Bob is Texan, Wendy Davis is Texan; hope that made sense to youses)
Abortion Barbie has a thin skin, like most progs. I’m here playing the world’s smallest violin for her hurt feelings.
Ok, so she’s just one more “mentally ill Democrat.” Is this news?
What is truly sad is that this woman should be a testament to the potential of the American spirit. Instead, she has chosen to become a foot soldier of death.
Oh yeah. She’ll make for one steely spined Governor won’t she? Pathetic little scrunt.
You know who hurt Abortion Barbie’s future prospects? The same bimbo staring back at her in the mirror.

She’s a twofer:
Chutzpah personified and narcissism personified.
If you knew who (what) had transversed that hoohoo, you would be a deranged Demonishit as well.
This is a sick woman, cut from the same mold as Crazy Nancy Pelosi.
I don’t vote for Bellevue.
I would have never guessed that a woman who has undergone extensive plastic surgery, and who’s number one issue is killing babies up to 9 months of gestation…
is bats**** crazy.
“Damage to her mental health”
How would one tell?
