Mitt Romney was caught dancing on stage at a Mormon youth conference last weekend, but he's far from the first political figure to lose his dignity for the sake of busting a move. Here are a few others, ranked from worst (embarrassing the nation) to first (almost cool):
8. George W. and Laura Bush
This is very bad. No rhythm, no moves (signaling a touchdown is not a move), he tries to play someone else's instrument (rude!) and I'm pretty sure it's offensive. He later said he "got carried away by spirit" and "it was a joyful moment." This happened at a Malaria Awareness event, by the way. The only redeeming factor? Laura appears to realize exactly how embarrassing this is and can't wait to be done.
7. Karl Rove
Unlike Bush, Rove does have some moves here, although I'm not sure what they are. Why was he jumping with his hands in the air like that? Maybe the only rap video he's ever seen is "Jump Around" by House of Pain? Why did he take out his phone? This was in 2007, well before everyone and my mom was taking selfies. Was that a "Walk Like an Egyptian" at the end? The only reason why this is ranked better than Bush is because it was supposed to be joke.
