This is just a distortion and distraction from Mitt's foreign travels gaffes which are just distractions from talking about Mitt's love of firing people and fantasies of having entire American cities and industries go bankrupt, which is just more distraction from Mitt's record of mandating health insurance coverage as governor of Massachusetts, which is just a distraction from NoBama!

if it involves horses, does that make it ranch dressage?

Newsweek is dusting off the 'wimp factor'. Dressage isn't going to help.

"Distraction" is the Republican codeword for "Shit, you got me there, I've got nothin'".
Back when Herman Cain had a radio show on WSB in Georgia, he was doing a segment about how the Republican party is totally definitely very not racist. So I called in, in a fit of being absolutely unable to contain my exasperation, and brought up the whole "Barrack HUSSEIN Obama" thing that was all over CPAC at the time.
Yeah, they all say they're just using his full name, but you and I both know that it's a cover. They're still being racist, they're just being not entirely stupid about it; rather than just out-and-out calling him an N*, they instead put heavy and deliberate emphasis on his very-obviously-not-anglo middle name. Nobody stresses "William JEFFERSON Clinton" or "George WALKER Bush", but they do stress "Hussein", and there is not a single person in that room that doesn't know exactly what they mean when they do that.
The response? "THAT'S JUST A DISTRACTION, MOVING ON!"

If we must have horses in the Olympics, it should be chariot racing, complete with drophonophorus.

Mike Huckabee and Conservative Activists Attack Democratic Party's Marriage Equality Stance
Joining televangelist Pat Robertson who earlier today said that same-sex marriage will be the “death knell” of the Democratic Party, Mike Huckabee and other leading conservatives have denounced the party’s decision to include marriage equality in its platform. Huckabee told Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association that the move is the “best thing that’s ever happened to the Republican Party” and “may end up sinking the ship.” He said that while people tolerate people who “choose to live in lifestyles that they don’t necessarily agree with or approve of,” they are “no longer going to support” President Obama or the Democrats for having “openly declared war on biblical marriage.” “It’s to me a very tragic day,” Huckabee maintained, “when we’re so interested in getting votes form a certain community and the contributions that they’re willing to forego their own principles and just throw them overboard.”

Wow, talk about whistling past the graveyard.
Attention, Huck and Wildmon: you are the ones who are on the wrong side here.

It doesn't even occur to him that marriage equality is based on principles. He should re-read the Constitution.

Why thank you kindly, Mike, for so helpfully explaining to the left what people on the left want. You are such an expert in this regard. I really do appreciate you helping us out in this way.

Sorry to burst anyone's bubble, but its likely the Germans will dominate the dressage (again), and take Romney's horse's lunch money away. There's also a female rider from the UK that stands a good chance of giving the Germans a run for their money. FWIW, Romney's horse & rider team was not even the best in the US. Good, yes, the best, no.
I believe this means Mrs. Romney will have plenty of write-offs this year. That should come as a relief to anyone that doesn't earn in a year what Romneys write off in horse play money.

One of the mounted police from Golden Gate Park used to stop at the hot dog place at Aquatic Park and get his horse a hot dog. That was one of the highlights of fishing at Aquatic Park when I was a little kid.

He's riding as an American, but he is German, trained in Germany. Steffan Peters of the USA team is also German. There is also a 71 year old Japanese man that trained with the Germans, which is fairly common. Many riders hail from or train in Germany, but the German team representing/from Germany is the cream of the crop.
