I am :rofl: at my desk at these pics!

I cannot WAIT until The Daily Show gets ahold of this footage!!!

:wtf:

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

lol

about those - lolol!

The second set gives me the creeps. :scared:

That man never ceases to take a stupid looking picture.

Lack of grace and class all in one shot.

That first photo---I mean ---- and the rest--- he's making monkey faces!

:rofl:

nt

Hopefully its an exorcism dance, anyway !!

:applause:

Check out Laura getting down. :rofl: They so can not dance nor should they have even tried to do so. :(

Junior kind of lost control when he heard the music- like it triggered something.

Couldn't find a video quickly of this group, but here's a great video of a dance company doing West African dances from Senegal:

Kadie, thanks for posting these photos! The costumes are amazing, and I have NEVER seen a drum like that. It's something to find out a lot more about.

The _Bush photos are epic. He's always true to form, isn't he?

For both chimpy and the rest of the planet.

and there he is - MADness, personified...

go five minutes without humiliating the United States?

make anyone look foolish, the video just makes him look as though he is being a good sport and having a good time.

I despise Bush as much as anyone, and yet the video doesn't disgust or annoy me. It is one of the few things I have seen that would make me feel warmly toward Bush if I had not already learned what he is really like.

I would have considered the video cute and funny if I did not already despise the man and all he stands for.

And I might add that I would probably do much the same sort of thing--except that I am actually a good dancer. But if I weren't, as he clearly knows he isn't, I would probably have played around similarly.

I would rather criticize him when something he does really is awful, not when it is as innocuous and amusing as this. I got a kick out of the video.

off when I first saw the clip on CNN. I just can't be annoyed and disgusted about it because it is so damn funny.:rofl:

That would have been very funny to see in video. :rofl:

You have got to be kidding me. Doesn't this guy have an overpaid armada of PR people trying to make him look presidential or something?

It's actually kind of funny. They were all being a sport about it. He was probably uncomfortable but couldn't show it. I remember when Clinton was in India and the ladies were dancing around him throwing rose petals at him. He was just standing there clapping and laughing but I'm sure he was uncomfortable.

like anyone would confuse him with an African dancer. Pickles calls that dancin? She needs to go back to the no tell motel and get her some.

Yeah, everybody has a few bad pics where they look silly or dumb, but I swear to God every single photograph ever taken of the Pretzeldent makes him look like the biggest cretin in the universe.

....Ohhh. Right.
