MITT throws Rafalca under the bus!

"I have to tell you. This is Ann's sport. I'm not even sure which day the sport goes on. She will get the chance to see it, I will not be watching the event. I hope her horse does well," he said.

1. "The little woman is on her own." - Willard (R)

"It just wouldn't be cool for 'you people' to get a true picture of how we 1% Republican Eleetes frolic."

- Willard Romney (R-1%)

2. I saw this...much more impact when you see the clip..Mo Joe said it HAD to be a "political

decision." (an obvious one). They were all talking about what a HUGE deal that would be
for a spouse to be associated with the Olympics...and he didn't even know what day the
event was.

But, the kicker is -- he didn't know what day it was going to be....but he knew he would
not be watching. HUH???

3. This guy won't even stand up for his wife? Distancing him from the upper-class sport of dressage?

10. Dog on top.

Horse underneath.

5. Not once did he use the word dressage

As far as Willard is concerned, the horse is just good for tax benefits

6. I thought the Olympics was for human athletes.

Does the horse get to keep the medal?

[rurallib]

8. ....

fuck you, Ann and the horse you rode in on.

[orwell]

9. How did they get the horse to London...

...did Willard tie it to the roof of his yacht?

[djean111]

11. I think he is trying to distance himself....

from the elitist and costly nature of dressage. Plus being dismissive comes so easily to him; second nature, really.
He certainly doesn't want pictures of him at the event; makes it easier to mention the $70,000 tax deduction and whatever.

12. Hey, Rafalca is just a tax deduction to Mittwit.

13. "I will not be watching the event. I hope her horse does well"

14. Not to defend rMoneys but he's probably right. Theirs is a classic "dressage queen" relationship

Ie: she rides, he's the bank and doesn't understand it, doesn't watch it, doesn't participate in it. He just pays the bills.

Sorry to say but I completely believe him. For some watching dressage is as exciting as watching paint dry. Its dull as dirt and it doesn't matter what loved one is doing it, they're never going to be "into it".

Ann's a dressage queen of the highest order and I would expect that the Mittster's telling the truth.

15. Rafalca better do well or he'll end up as the glue on Mitt's campaign buttons.

[riderinthestorm]

16. She'll do badly and is expected to. Americans suck at dressage.

18. Rafalca is the horse. Romney is the horse's ass.

19. DUZY!
