State Rep. Mike Weinstein busts a move

Check out this ad for state Rep. Mike Weinstein, R-Jacksonville. The song appeared on radio but the video never went on TV because his opponents, cowed into artistic submission, did not qualify.

Weinstein is proud of it anyway and sent it to fellow House members. The star/producer is his son, who goes by the stage name Scott Leigh. "I said, 'I want a commercial that has a positive message but is also very different, unique, catchy.' We weren't trying to create a masterpiece."

The quirky vid has gotten 10,345 hits on YouTube and generated attention from CBS and Wonkette, among other places. Mike, Mike, Mike ... Weinstein.
