Governor hopeful, Wendy Davis, might need to “tighten up the truth”

By Roy Knox

“Hi everybody, I`m Archie Bell of the Drells from Houston Texas, We don`t only sing, we dance as good as we walk.”  If you were a teenager in the late 60`s you can`t help from remembering that classic R&B hit and the dance, but why bring up now?
Because it`s the perfect campaign song for Wendy Davis.
Davis has been in the news lately for basically being loose with the truth. Her story has been told as the economically challenged single parent, who pulled herself up by her bootstraps and worked her way through college and then law school.
And not just any schools, Texas Christian University (TCU) and the Harvard Law School, one of the most expensive colleges in the state and the other the most prestigious and expensive in the country.
To her credit, she had the intelligence and the smarts to graduate from two of the finest schools in the country, but forgetting to mention that the sugar-daddy husband paid for your last two years at TCU and all of Harvard Law would be a rather large omission.
In fact, her bio is littered with small untruths. Her camp acknowledges there needs to be some “tightening of the truth” in some cases. When I`m filing away the phrase “tightening up the truth” in my mind it will be in the same folder as “a little bit pregnant”  and “nearly a virgin”, but that’s just me, maybe you are different. Feminist have flocked to her side in support claiming she is being held to a double standard.
Oh yeah, she divorced her husband after finishing Harvard Law and lost custody of her two girls.
Back to the feminist, they claim if a man had gone off in pursuit of something to better his family and left his children in the capable hands of his wife, no one would blink an eye.
Let`s remember that was almost 20 years ago and the woman lost custody; there is more to that story. It is easy to see how a truck stop floozy could have greater morals than a gold-digger.
