А вот восходящая звезда техасской политики Венди Дэвис:
While her state Senate filibuster last year captured national attention, it is her biography — a divorced teenage mother living in a trailer who earned her way to Harvard and political achievement — that her team is using to attract voters and boost fundraising.
Трогательная и берущая за душу история женщины и матери, которая, несмотря на трудности и невзгоды, сама, своим трудом, всего добилась и превозмогла, и вот теперь желает стать губернатором Техаса.
С этой впечатляющей историей есть только одна закавыка. Она как бы не совсем правда:
Davis did not work her way through college and law school. She married a lawyer — thirteen years older — and he paid for her last two years of college and then for her education at Harvard Law School.
To pay the Harvard bills, her husband cashed in his 401(k) account and eventually took out a loan to pay for the final year. Immediately thereafter, Davis divorced the man, who by now had served her purposes. “I made the last payment, and it was the next day she left,” he recalled. He now has custody of her two children — one by him and one by her first husband.
Какая лапочка, правда? Кстати, она уже успела обзавестись достижением, которое считается сейчас необходимым для любого высокопоставленного демократа - соврать под присягой. Так что её наверняка ждёт большое будущее.
