what the fools don't realize about this case was she was speaking out in the most solid way she could for having the fucking paper talk about her good looks instead of her ideas and character.
she was speaking out for women.
keep insulting women for not wanting to he seen as eye candy and not taken seriously simply because they are attractive.
what some idiots don't understand is that is as insulting as being ignored because your not pretty enough for the papers to take seriously.
Jesus the republican outreach is NOT supposed to be a punch in the face

Here is the editorial that caused her to go crazy....no mention of her looks...
On the eve of a City Council runoff election, a campaign has turned dirty. That’s not something we see much of in these parts. It’s also not something we respect or cotton to.
Fort Worth is a city that works. Its government, its businesses and even the people who agree to disagree have a unique ability to pull together for the common good. And all who live here and use the city for its culture and entertainment benefit from this attitude. It is a frame of mind that places the welfare of the many above pettiness and above those things that benefit only the few.
That’s why we view with disappointment the last-minute mailing to residents of District 9 sent by the Wendy Davis campaign, apparently to impugn the integrity of Davis’s opponent, Cathy Hirt.
Hirt finished slightly ahead of Davis in the regular campaign to fill the seat vacated by newly elected Mayor Kenneth Barr. The runoff election is scheduled today.
It is a heated battle. Many feel that it is too close to call.
Perhaps the intensity of the fight has caused good people to act callously and recklessly and to abandon good manners.
Whatever, it seems tasteless for the Davis campaign to imply that Hirt – who has a doctorate and speaks three languages – is inferior because she, according to the flier, failed the Tennessee bar exam three times before passing it. Davis, it is pointed out, attended Harvard University. Both women are attorneys.
The brochure points out that Davis has lived here all her life and that Hirt has been here less than five years. Last time we checked, length of residency in Fort Worth is not a prerequisite for service.
In fact, Hirt has been an active neighborhood and civic leader and volunteer almost from the day she arrived.
Davis’s campaign uses a quotation to imply that the “power and money” crowd does not want her elected because she is too independent. We are not certain who the “power and money” crowd is, but we can guess.
There are many wealthy families in Fort Worth, but the family with the highest profile is the Basses. If this invective is directed at them, it seems unfair and uncalled for. All the Basses have done for this city is to simply make it the envy of every city in the country.
Sunday’s New York Times ran an extensive story extolling the virtues of our city, and the story line was based around the careful and successful development of our downtown Sundance Square. The story reported that this has been accomplished because of the huge financial investment of the Bass family.
Quite simply, they give generously and ask for nothing. Gratitude or at least the absence of being smeared, though, might be something they could expect. Should they be her target, then the misguided mailing is a black mark indeed on the face of her campaign.
Besides, Davis has raised probably more than $40,000 for this $75-a-meeting council seat, and some of her money has come from the rich and powerful people she now is trying, apparently, to paint as her enemies. What’s her beef? Her opponent has raised only about half as much. If she has the “money and power” crowd behind her, they certainly are a stingy bunch.
Then there is the question of openness raised by her flier. One quote about Davis says she’s “a fighter and a winner,” and another says she is “extraordinarily level-headed and fair-minded.” These and several other quotes are attributed to “Jerry Russell, Founder, Stage West.”
A small thing, perhaps, but telling: It would seem that Davis should have pointed out that Russell is her father, and obviously a proud one at that.
Finally, we should point out that we have endorsed Hirt and have said we think she is best qualified to serve District 9. We have said that several times.
What we are saying today is nothing more than this: It is sad that victory means so much to some people that they will follow the time-honored rule of politics: To win, you must fight dirty and with innuendo.
That’s what happens all the time nationally. It is not the rule here, but the exception. You would think someone who grew up here would know that.

No she is still a crazy, they just told her to fuck off and she did not get one dime from her lawsuit.
You could hide a column of Marines in all the smoke you're blowing about this non-story. The desperation... it's palpable.

Thread hijacking noted. Dig up the real thread and I'll give it a go.

Davis sued the newspaper months after losing her city council and claimed that she “ha[d] suffered and [was] continuing to suffer damages to her mental health.”
Reading the editorial, how could any sane person justify her lawsuit.
Anything to say about physical health, right to pursue public offices, and her legal career? I think you're just a one-trick pony.
"As a result of the actions described above, 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."
Jarod's a lawyer???? LMFAO

A "yes" or "no" answer would suffice and end the alleged "hijacking" faster than your repeated duckings.
This is probably one of most fallacious, outlandish and outrageous comparisons that people here have come up with yet. A court of law found Hinkley to be insane and institutionalized him for the rest of his life it appears, while several courts found that Davis had suffered no impairment whatsoever. So how can a person found insane be compared to one who was found to have suffered no mental damage.
He also claims to an elected official.

Ah, the old Earl Long defense: "I'm not crazy and I got the papers to prove it!"
In which case, she may have perjured herself before the court.

Just another sad attempt by angry Righties to defame an up and coming Democratic candidate.

Yes, I must agree.
For once, Racist X's desperate flailing about, trying to make a scandal out of something that isn't there, is quite comical.

They can't argue facts so a Chachi like 3D must resort to patently outrageous nonsense like his John Hinckley claim.
