Your Moment of WTF

Uh.

Colin Powell (news - web sites), US Secretary of State, performs a version of the Village People's hit disco song 'YMCA' at the conclusion of Asia's largest security meeting in Jakarta, Indonesia, on Friday July 2, 2004. Powell took to the stage, dressed as a construction worker Friday, with other unidentified US diplomats to deliver their rendition of the 1970's hit song to an audience of Asia Security meeting delegates.

I saw that on the news! It's even more painful on video; he's trying to sing.

Well, according to what I heard on NPR this morning, Madeline Albright when she was SoS dressed up as Evita Peron and did a musical skit, and there were other foreign diplomats that did the same thing because it's Tradition at the conference they were attending...

Basically, it's bureaucrats having a chance to be silly.

Funny, the only part about that event that we know anything about is Powell. Maybe he did it as a bet or maybe it was some event or somebody's birthday in Jakarta.

It is pretty funny, but not as frightening as it seems. :P

I don't know much about how the guy functions outside of what I've seen of him in office.

I mean, after this, a lampshade doesn't sound too strange, does it?

Wrong, I tell you. Who knew?
