Who was that the press was fawning over?Rafalca Derangement Syndrome - Michelle Malkin - National Review Online
8-3-12
Rafalca is the name of Ann Romney’s show horse, which competed in Olympic dressage this week. Rafalca Derangement Syndrome is the name of a debilitating partisan disease that is raging among snotty “progressives” posing as populists.
On Thursday, the George Soros–funded henchmen of MoveOn promoted a new TV ad that “features a talking Rafalca Romney, who tells us Mitt would treat many Americans worse than a horse!”
Interspersed with scenes of a dressage competition, the talking Rafalca mimics a British accent and lashes out at the Romneys’ privately earned wealth:
“How do I pull off such grace and athleticism while looking so good? Maybe it’s because the Romneys spend $77,000 a year on my upkeep, and after Mitt Romney repeals health care and ships your job overseas, I daresay your life will not be nearly as pampered as mine. After all, you’re not one of his horses.”
You don’t need to be an equestrian expert to understand that the Left’s vicious class-warfare attack on Mrs. Romney smells worse than horse hockey. The GOP presidential candidate’s wife began riding horses twelve years ago as therapy for her multiple sclerosis. As Dressage News reported, “Back then, Ann could ride the trot on a horse for not even close to a minute and then have to walk for at least another five minutes because of the crippling effects of MS.” Mrs. Romney has devoted her time ever since to promoting therapeutic riding programs and clubs across the country.
