Dancing Dubya

George Bush is looking, and now dancing, more and more like a Steve Bell cartoon every day.

His performance with west African musicians should be a reminder to politicians the world over not to strut their stuff on stage. Boris Yeltsin couldn't dance and neither can Bush.

His attempt is not quite as cringe-making as the Karl Rove rap, but it's pretty close especially when the president starts trying to play the bongos.

Today's Daily Mail attempts to describe the unsettling sight. It says: "At one point [Bush] seemed to go cross-eyed and then fluttered his hands, closed his eyes and opened his mouth in a failed attempt to look hip."
