Former US President George W Bush blasted for DANCING during Dallas shooting memorial

[Purveyor]

Bush raised eyebrows with his dance moves at a service to remember the five police officers shot dead by snipers at the Dallas Black Lives Matter protest.

Holding hands with his wife, Laura, and Michelle Obama, Bush is seen smiling and dancing while the choir sang "Battle Hymn of the Republic" at the event in the Texas city.

His awkward moves left many on social media cringing and questioning whether his behaviour was appropriate given the somber, emotional occasion.

One Twitter user, Roger Cullins, said: "I usually like Bush - but why in the world was he dancing and being goofy during last song? I was cringing."

Kelly Byrd tweeted: "George Bush dancing to ‘Glory Glory Hallelujah’ at the #DallasMemorial while smirking makes my heart hurt."

The video shows Michelle and Barrack Obama looking at the former President and appearing confused.

Steve Silberman said: "The look on Michelle Obama's face as Bush starts rocking out at a funeral is everything."

1. He was and remains horrible.

Cannot believe the ridiculousness of this man continuing to take energy from the death and misery of others (much of which he caused).

13. Ever the war-criminal smirking chimp. k&r, nt

37. He doesn't care.

That's what shows from his behavior. He couldn't give two craps about the deaths of the officers and the suffering of the killer (yes, he committed an evil act, and he likely was suffering from PTSD), just as he didn't give two craps about the executions he ordered as governor of Texas, the Iraqis and US soldiers he ordered killed for his war of convenience in the ME (based upon an intentional lie), and the several hundred people who died during the Katrina hurricane. He looks like he's behaving out of context because he cannot immerse himself in the sorrow of the moment, and he has no orientation toward the presumed actions of a former head of state. He can't immerse himself in the sorrow of the moment because he doesn't give a damn. He never did and he never will. He's in la-la land.

2. As well he should have been.

Looking at the video all I could think was, "That man is totally drunk."

[Scarsdale]

35. Drunk or Alzheimers?

Maybe he thinks staying drunk will take his thoughts off his Alzheimers? Maybe the paint fumes from all that therapy painting himself got to him?

[SheilaT]

36. People with Alzheimers, in my limited

experience, will have a befuddled expression, and will be struggling to understand what's going on around them. They won't be grooving to the music.

You'd have thought his own wife would have quietly told him to knock it off.

3. Maybe Dallas means something special to Dubya.

He sure was one happy camper.

[NightWatcher]

16. It's where his Pappy shot that guy in the convertible and made his bones

[Rex]

21. It must be something nobody dances at a funeral, that I know of.

[Warren DeMontague]

4. I think the word you're looking for is "Plastered"

[global1]

5. An "American Embarrassment"...nt

[B Calm]

6. The idiot thought he was marching off to war.

[steve2470]

7. I hope Laura berated him thoroughly once he sobered up

He's such an embarrassment to himself and the nation. Also a war criminal.

[Safe as Milk]

38. Let's give Bushie the benefit of the doubt:

He was probably on prescription medication. I'll go with Xanax.

[BlueMTexpat]

8. He has a lot of

inappropriate responses. I expect that will never change. That's the only expectation I have for him.

[Chakab]

9. In his defense, he pretty much always has that silly look on his face.

I don't think that he can help it. It's probably his resting facial expression.

[csziggy]

33. When he was little and made that expression his mother said, "Your face will freeze like that!"

That's what my Mom always said when I made stupid faces - but I listened to her and stopped making them. I bet George just took it as a challenge and kept making them.

[SheriffBob]

10. At least

they were not playing "Dixie"

[madokie]

11. I haven't seen it

if I was a betting man I"d be that little boots was shitter'n a drunk house mouse.

Thats just the way he rolls

[msanthrope]

12. Drunk. nt

[uponit7771]

14. There's something wrong with George Bush, he was not acting like an adult the other day at the

... funeral.

I'm not shocked nor surprised

[AllyCat]

15. Something has been wrong with him for a long time.

He has never seemed quite right, which is probably why Repukes like him.

[UTUSN]

17. Predictably, my local radio wingnut said she was overcome to weeping with fond nostalgia

at the sight of him.

[Bucky]

18. The weird bit is Michelle Obama trying to grip his hand like a wiggly toddler

You can see Laura wasn't even trying anymore. I think she's worn out by the stress of babysitting a grown ass knucklehead.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

19. I noticed Laura's expression too

Classic worn-out co-dependent.

[avaistheone1]

20. I think perhaps he has a mental disorder.

Alzheimers?

[senseandsensibility]

22. I notice that this article is from the UK

Has any US outlet covered this? My local news covered the event, including the song, but did not show the "dancing" or mention it. Seems like our journalists still want to be his little lapdogs.

[SheriffBob]

27. The, so called, liberal media is a republican

LIE!

Free press, my ass!

[bullwinkle428]

23. To quote fellow Texan Hank Hill, "that boy ain't right".

[LongTomH]

24. This is the only way Gee Dubya should be allowed out in public these days......

[central scrutinizer]

25. All a big joke to him

26. He wasn't dancing. He had to use the restroom.

[SheriffBob]

28. This proves

that, "drugs are bad." Mkay?
