Watch Mitt Romney's Hair Sparkle After He Is Glittered In Minnesota

Mitt Romney was glitter-bombed as he took the stage at an event in Minnesota today, leaving his hair and sport jacket gleaming "like a disco ball."

Romney called it celebratory when he took the microphone as his son, Josh, wiped much — but not all of it — from his head: "This is confetti! We just won Florida," he said, but the tactic has been a favorite of gay rights activists.

After handing his jacket offstage, Romney told the crowd: "I've got glitter in my hair. That's not all I've got in my hair — I glue it on every day."

For the second time, Romney also sang "America the Beautiful" adding, "If we keep that up, I’m going to have to get singing lessons, because I’m not so good."

Not the singing again....where are his friends? The ones that tell you to STFU when you are embarrassing yourself.

At least I'm getting some giggles.....

And he sang it very well. It was fun and refreshing and not on the teleprompter. And now its become a popular download, ringtone for free.

Romney, who sucks at singing, actually sings the entire song and looks pathetic, planned, and douchey. Its really pathetic how much he tries to look popular. He is copying President Obama in the attempt to have the crowd respond and people to like his stiff, out of touch mannerisms. He really should stop this singing cherade... Once was weird enough... twice just looks pathetic.

He just got Secret Service protection. It's an action fraught with consequences to commit assault, and if they decide they don't like the glitter business, it could be problematic.

I think the speech coach slowly brought his hairstyle into more of an executive look, with a less glued together look.

Tho he says he glues it on every morning....

Maybe it was because he was genuinely beaming last night, but his face looks fuller (like he gained weight) and his skin looked more red.
