Texas GOP Candidate’s Top Adviser Tweets That Wendy Davis ‘Too Stupid To Be Governor’
A month ago, Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott (R), who is seeking to succeed Rick Perry as governor, came under fire for tweeting to thank a supporter for a sexist attack on a potential Democratic opponent. Now, his top political adviser has stepped into the same quagmire, tweeting that State Senator Wendy Davis (D) is “too stupid to be governor.”
Dave Carney, who ran Perry’s Texas campaigns from 1998 to 2012, is now Abbott’s top strategist. In 2010, he earned the ire of former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palln (R) for calling one of the proposed details of the primary debate “just retarded.”
Thursday, Carney tweeted an article from a conservative Texas blog. The piece in question cheered the results of Tuesday’s Colorado recall elections and was called “Total Recall in CO (and why Wendy Davis is too Stupid to be Governor)” — a title included verbatim in his tweet.

It's so common on DU that it's only remarkable as to how it so often seems that OUR demeaning/disparaging/disrespectful remarks of others are accurate, and THEIR demeaning/disparaging/disrespectful remarks are always wrong, and furthermore are evidence of vacuity of THEIR intellectual acumen.
