Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, RickRolled the world. [1]
To celebrate the launch of the U.S. Congress’ YouTube channels for the House and Senate, Pelosi posted a video of her cats roaming around her Capitol office, playing with her gavel, and enjoying the view. [2]
In a nutshell, her handlers know a Rickroll video has a far better chance of going viral (and being written about here, for instance) than a generic “Welcome to Congress on YouTube” video like this one. [...] The Rickroll, an internet meme that started a few years ago, is basically a prank in which unsuspecting viewers are tricked into listening to Rick Astley’s 1987 hit “Never Gonna Give You Up”. [...] Within 24 hours of posting, the Pelosi Rickroll video had been viewed nearly 60,000 times and garnered some 200 comments. [3]
Nancy Pelosi, Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, posted a video of her cats on her official YouTube page and then promptly RickRolls viewers at the 37 second mark. [4]

I personally think Congress could use an occasional RickRoll. [1]

They have so many handlers these days anyway, you can never really know if they’re actually in touch with whatever it is you think is cool this week, or if one of their interns told them, hey, you should rickroll somebody. [4]
