And Holmes Norton probably wonders why people consider Congress as useless as tits on a bull.

(WaPo) — The recent controversy over dancing at the Jefferson Memorial has inspired a congresswoman: Eleanor Holmes Norton wants to turn booty shaking on the Mall into a national holiday.

Norton plans to amend a Mall revitalization bill to declare July 30th “National Dance Day” on the Mall and around the country. She plans to get “So You Think You Can Dance” judge Nigel Lythgoe and others involved in the action, which will include a flash mob and troupes of local dancer

“When people go as far as Flash Mob dancing without a permit on the Mall, we should see such a response from the public as a wake-up call to make the Mall more with it,” Norton said. “The spontaneous Mall Flash Mobs we have seen are a virtual call for more participatory activities and events on the Mall.”
