Spoiled Olympian: Rafalca's FAIL (R)

Pampered tax-dodging Rafalca's Olympic run ends
Romney-owned effete Republican prancing-and-dancing dressage horse won't be in top 18
Olympians send Failed RepubliNag home with DOODLEY SQUAT for accomplishment.

Willard claims he "knows nothing" about this, and would not
release "it" if he did.

It's not Rafalca's fault. It's the trainer the Rmoney's hired. sinkingfeeling Aug 2012 #3

Cheer up Rafalca! It's not all your fault, we know this. You have an owner who trains you. And if they train you incorrectly then it's not your fault. So cheer up Rafalca and go get them the next time!

The owner said that Gracie loves this tree for some reason and he cut a bigger hold in the tree so she won't get caught again. This picture has always stressed me out a bit. Happy ending.
