The Democrats' Texas Savior Can't Handle The Truth

Seriously. It's detrimental to her mental health.

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.

Davis didn't like the Ft. Worth paper pointing out that she was fighting "dirty and with innuendo" (Cathy Hirt had a doctorate) so she sued them. The lawyer who defended the paper said of the incident "I have never seen anything like it before or since."
