It's been a chaotic and divisive week for the leadership of the Democratic Party -- and sometimes words just can't heal the wounds.

So Donna Brazile, interim chair of the Democratic National Committee, decided to use an alternative method: dancing. After delivering a rousing speech, Brazile exited the stage with a uniquely powerful shimmy.

Political conventions are home to some of the most awkward dancing in the world. It's refreshing to see someone like Brazile bring real enthusiasm to her moves, as well as actual skill.
