Morning Briefing For January 22, 2014 >> Today's Sponsor Now Wendy Davis Attacks a Paraplegic For a feminist, Wendy Davis seems capable only of playing the damsel in distress. With the media now exposing her fraudulent biography and possible perjury in federal court, Davis has taken to blasting Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott as the source of leaks against her. There’s just one problem. According to this report by Jonathan Tilove in the Austin American Stateman — not exactly a conservative publication — “Slater [the Dallas Morning News reporter who uncovered Davis's lies] said he never once spoke to [the Abbott campaign] about the story.” Greg Abbott, the Republican running against Wendy Davis for Governor, is a paraplegic. He has been in a wheelchair for years. We know Abbott is not the source of the story on Wendy Davis. We know Davis is only capable of playing the victim. And, as if on schedule to prove what an amateur she is, Wendy Davis attacked Greg Abbott last night saying he, a paraplegic, had not walked a day in her shoes. Yes, she said that. Wendy Davis is the dimwit the media always portrayed Sarah Palin to be. Sarah Palin, of course, ran a competent campaign to get elected Governor of Alaska and has never felt compelled to play the victim. But the feminists rallying to this ineptitude sure do talk a good game about female empowerment while screaming about being victims.  . . . please click here for the rest of the post → Presidential prospects of Gov. Christie stuck in BridgeGate traffic jam A new Quinnipiac University poll finds that in the wake of Christie administration’s political bulling, New Jersey Gov.

Folks, from here on out, the only card left for Wendy Davis to play is victim. She’s going to attack Greg Abbott, Texas’s Attorney General, for leaks he wasn’t responsible for. Her friends will accuse the liberal Dallas Morning News reporter of being a Republican. They’ll scream that Davis is being held to a different standard than a man. They’ll cast Abortion Barbie as the hero by casting her as the victim of rightwing smears. All we are doing is pointing out she’s built her case on a foundation of lies, half-truths, and fairy tales. And they just keep getting worse. . . . please click here for the rest of the post → >> Today's Sponsor Sincerely yours, Erick Erickson Editor-in-Chief, RedState Forward This Email to a Friend Take me to RedState
