THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A moonwalking Romanian politician has been ordered by leaders of his political party to tone down his antics.
Edmond Talmacean, a 40-year-old Bucharest-based politician, has inspired national headlines with his Michael Jackson-inspired moonwalk on a television show and his impersonations of the late dictator Nicolae Ceausescu.
His impersonation of a well-known sports commentator during a serious political debate also stunned other lawmakers into silence.
"Dancing is another kind of political message to appeal to the younger generation, that it is good to have fun ... that you can go to a disco and dance," Mr Talmacean said.
Party leaders, however, say enough is enough and have ordered him to tone down. » | Monday, April 18, 2011
