Oh laminitis-infected, fracture-healed, Kentucky-Derby winning obsession of a nation — euthanized this weekend.

Barbaro, we waited with baited breath for your recovery — it could be argued that the footage of your leg snapping like a matchstick at last year’s Preakness was the first official “YouTube moment” that captured the attention of the non-Colbert Nation and that your recovery was a brief placebo for out angst over Iraq. But mostly you were just cute. We’ll miss you.
