Lisa Madigan: Attorney General, Brick House

2011_1_11_madigan.jpg Strutting Leo. Prancing Michael Cera. Sad Keanu. Now, to the pantheon of memes, we'd like to add the following: Boogie-ing Lisa Madigan.

Rich Miller at Capitol Fax posted this video via Blue Room Stream from last night's downstate Inauguration Spectacular. Ladies and gentlemen, your Attorney General has got some moves (click through to :34 to watch the shaking of groove things). In terms of musical taste, "Brick House" should probably be banned from all events from weddings to bar mitzvahs to graduations to political events (we prefer "I'm Your Boogie Man," personally), but at least it granted us this clip of official bootyshaking.

We'd like to amend our judicial system to allow for cases going in front of Madigan to be settled by Dance-Off. Her prosecution rate would be damn near 100%.
