Related: About this forumRemember Bush's awkward African dance moves?
I remember when Bush did this African dance at a White House ceremony back in spring 2007. My local newspaper put photos of him on the front page with all his funny faces!

That's hilarious! I have to say, he keeps his balance fairly well in those heels, er, lift shoes.

In his own way, he would be kind of cute, if he weren't the single most destructive president

he was debating Gore, like a drunk in a bar trying to argue what was the greats sports star of whatever "of all time". I thought for sure the media would mock him and he would be sunk. Sadly the fix was in for him already.
