LA Times Vets Ann Romney's Horses
Breitbart.com ^ | 5/22/12 | John Nolte

Posted on 05/22/2012 6:34:44 PM PDT by Nachum

The Los Angeles Times refuses to disclose the contents of a video tape in its possession that reportedly shows Barack Obama lavishing praise on his friend Rashid Khalidi, a close associate of Palestinian terrorist Yasser Arafat, at a 2003 Chicago dinner party sponsored by the Arab American Action Network and attended by Bill Ayers. The Times does, however, have all kinds of time to vet Ann Romney, going so far as to dig into a lawsuit she was part of involving a horse:

It was the end of a long day in a stuffy Simi Valley office building. Ann Romney had been under oath for more than four hours, testifying in a sometimes contentious deposition about a pricey horse she sold that may or may not have been afflicted with a condition that made him unrideable.

In the airless room, Romney was getting annoyed.

"That really is — that really is irritating," she said when the opposing attorney implied she didn't know who looked after her horse in Moorpark when she was at her home in Boston. "Of course I know who was looking after my horse. You're just trying to irritate me."

I wrote the LA Times and asked if in their mind a person spending money they have earned to enjoy a hobby of their choice is supposed to somehow equate with Michelle Obama’s spending of taxpayer money for lavish vacations and shopping sprees.

We have not watched the news in weeks. We know who we are voting for and it ain’t Obama or any other communist pig.

Good question, but misdirected. What goes on in their minds is decided on the other side of the continent.

The MSM is populated by kids out of bad journalism schools and run by impossibly ideological lunatics. I haven’t read a newspaper in years, same with TV. I’m better informed for it.

That’s too bad. I hope the horses get better.

Is it really a shock that someone married to a multimillionaire owns and rides expensive horses? You can ride in dressage without a ton of money, but the higher level horses are expensive. So what?

If I liked dressage (I don’t), I could enter my $1200 mare and compete. But if I had millions, or could get a contract like Moochelle and get paid a few hundred thousand for getting my spouse to give taxpayer money to my employer...I might ride expensive horses too!

The former wouldn’t bother me. The latter takes a democrat!

they are not going to get anywhere with this because so many people own horses and do NOT have bitter envy of those who have more expensive horses. A person loves their own horse, doesn’t hate others for having more expensive ones.

This is stupid. But who reads the LA Times?

“the veterinarian who gave the horse a clean bill of health”

and all horse people know that a vet check is good for the exact time that the vet is standing next to the horse. After that, all bets are off.

I love mine, but a horse is essentially an over-evolved bag of blood born looking for a place to die.

If you want a less risky and more lucrative sport, look into buying a pro hockey franchise.
