Romney: Hotel Masseuse Thought I Was A Dancer

Mitt Romney recounted a story about a hotel masseuse who gave the former presidential candidate the "best compliment" he's ever had by asking if Romney was a dancer.

Speaking to Bloomberg's Mark Halperin and John Heilemann on With All Due Respect, Romney said a kink in his back prompted his travel aide to seek out a masseuse while campaigning in San Francisco.

"After I left, she turned to him and said, 'Is he a dancer?,'" Romney said. "That was the best compliment I have ever had."

When asked about why she made the comments, Romney said "the legs."

"Strong legs," Romney said. "They're bird legs actually, but she thought they were strong."
