Dancing with the Politicians

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is just the latest leader to let loose on the dance floor. Which of these politicians would get your vote in a dance-off?

Harper made headlines after he graduated from clapping to some legitimate (however awkward) dance moves with the Inuvik Drummers and Dancers during a trip to the Arctic last week.

But when they're not kissing babies and doing all that public-policy, decision-making stuff, it seems lots of politicians like to get their groove on once in a while. Which of these politicians would beat Harper in a dance-off?


Michael Ignatieff

Na na na na na na, gettin' Iggy with it. The Liberal Leader danced in front of MuchMusic HQ in Toronto during his cross-country tour this summer.


Barack Obama

Then-senator Obama cut a rug to Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love" on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2007. He later attributed a jump in the polls to his slick moves.

Also: this.

And: awww.


Hillary Clinton

At 0:26 the Secretary lets her hair down.


Boris Yeltsin

The former Russian prez has been compared to the "drunken uncle at a wedding." See for yourself:


Karl Rove

Give it up for MC Rove.


George Bush

Did MC Rove advise this?
