Romney’s Horse Fails at Olympics But Wins Big on Twitter
Mitt Romney better hope he does better in November than his wife’s horse, Rafalca, who came in 13th inOlympic dressage on Thursday.But Rafalca Romney, the 15-year-old mare, did have one solid victory this week, and it was on Twitter. The Twitter user @RafalcaRomney appears to be the equestrian version of the spoof Bo Obama accounts.
The parody account tweeted up a storm on Thursday night following the horse’s Olympic performance. According to the person behind the account, the horse was on a mission in the Olympic Village — a mission to party.
We’re not sure how much a horse has to drink to get drunk, but apparently Rafalca found out as the tweets got more absurd as the evening went on.
By the end of the evening the horse was “completely #RafalcedUp,” a hashtag that gained some popularity on Twitter.
The Romney campaign isn’t behind the humorous account. But in case drunk horse jokes didn’t tell you that already, the account’s description makes it pretty clear it’s not official: “Mitt Romney’s dressage horse, 2012 Olympian, into liberal politics. I dance for Mitt Romney so you don’t have to.”
