Here’s a question. If your spouse had a horse competing in the Olympics, would you support her by attending the event? I know I would. What kind of jerk would not? But, here’s Romney:
Romney immediately seemed to distance himself from that part of the Games, stating that it was “a big, exciting experience” for his wife, Ann, and for her trainer, Jan Ebeling, who is riding Rafalca in the competition. “Obviously it’s fun to be part of the Olympics in any way you can be a part of them,” he said.
When Williams pressed Romney for some details about the participation of Rafalca and Ebeling, who earned a place on the U.S. Olympic equestrian team in June—how many rounds and how many chances to win—Romney said he was not familiar with the details.
“I have to tell you. This is Ann’s sport,” he told Williams in an interview that aired on “Nightly News” on Wednesday. “I’m not even sure which day the sport goes on.” He said he would not be watching the event, but hoped her horse would do well.
I mean, he’s not going to lose his bid for the presidency because his wife has a horse in the Olympics. But he might lose it because he’s the kind of guy who lies constantly and treats his wife like furniture.
