Single Teen Mom? Texas's
Wendy Davis Lied About Life Story

Wendy Davis, the Texas state senator whose filibuster for
abortion rights made her a Democratic superstar and launched her campaign for
governor, has admitted to the Dallas Morning News that she lied about key
events in her life, including her first divorce. Davis may even have lied under oath,
testifying in a federal lawsuit over redistricting that "I got divorced by
the time I was 19 years old," when in fact she was divorced at age 21.
Other missing details have
included: her second husband paid her way through law school and she divorced
him the day after the last payment was made; her ex-husband accused her in
initial court filings of adultery, and was awarded custody of their two
daughters; and she first ran for city council in Fort Worth as a Republican.
"My language should be
tighter,” she said, admitting her campaign biography has been less than
truthful.
It is not clear whether the
article in the Dallas Morning News, by senior political writer Wayne Slater, is
meant to be an exposé or a defense, presenting embarrassing details in the best
light possible to present an overall picture of competence. One unidentified
source, who said that Davis
is "going to figure out a way to spin herself in a way that grabs at the
heart strings," is also quoted as saying that "she’d be a good
governor."
Regardless, the fact that Davis "blurred"
her biography raises questions about her integrity. Her ex-husbandsaid she
should not have needed to lie--that her real life is "a better narrative
than what they’re trying to paint.”
The media tend to protect
Democrats--notably, Barack Obama, Davis's
contemporary at Harvard
Law School--when
they present false "composites" of their lives. It remains to be seen
whether they treat Davis
the same.
