Wendy Davis Mocks Texas for Letting Voters Use Gun Permit as Valid ID

Jon Stewart Suggests to Wendy Davis a ‘Planned Parenthood Food Truck’- 'Get a Taco and a Pap Smear’ (NewsBusters)

You can’t accuse Jon Stewart of not being a team player. Like the rest of his media colleagues, he’s done his part to help Wendy Davis – even having her as a “Daily Show” guest while her spectacularly awful Texas gubernatorial campaign is in its death throes.  On Oct. 27, he offered her sympathy and softballs – really not much different than the love the media favorite has gotten from other outlets.

Stewart dutifully brought up Davis’ June 2013 filibuster 2013 to stop “anti-choice legislation” that would close several abortion clinics in Texas. Yet the legislation passed anyway.  Davis solemnly confirmed, “Yes that’s right. In our Texas senate it passed unfortunately in a special session and it resulted in exactly what we feared.

Almost all of the women’s health centers that provided that constitutionally protected medical care closed.” (How many focus groups did the Davis campaign work through to come up with that language? “Women’s health?” Check. “Constitutionally protected?” Got it. “Medical care?” It’s in there.)
