Politicians Jumping Rope Look About as Awkward as You'd Expect

Our Welsh friend Tom Doran sends along this amazing link. (Above is a different video of Nick Clegg jumping rope. The link's video is better, but not on YouTube). Tom explains the linked video:

A video of George Osborne, Chancellor of the Exchequer... skipping rope. He's actually very good. Also featured: Ed Balls (shadow Chancellor), Nick Clegg (deputy PM, dead man walking) and David Davis (lost to Cameron in 2005 leadership contest, King Over the Water to a certain kind of Tory rightist).

I get the feeling Michelle Obama would smoke these clowns in a jump rope contest.
