Video: Congresswoman Quotes White Stripes in Gov. Shutdown Debate

Maryland congresswoman Donna Edwards took to the floor of the House of Representatives today to address the standoff that might lead to a partial government shutdown with “a lesson for [her] Republican colleagues, courtesy of the White Stripes.” Watch above, as Edwards quotes the lyrics to Jack and Meg White’s 2007 Icky Thump song “Effect and Cause.”

I’d like to nominate this as today’s candidate for the greatest thing I have ever seen.
