Stam quick on his feet

Rep. Paul Stam saw the giant inflated bounce sitting on the grassy lawn behind the legislature and wondered aloud what he had gotten himself into.

He was going to be interviewed. While jumping. In the bounce. While a video camera rolled.

The interview was with Mark Roberts, a former WRAL traffic reporter, who is working on a show for the station's Web site.

The segment that landed Stam in the Moonbounce? "Bouncing Around Ideas with the North Carolina Legislature."

Wocka Wocka Wocka.

Stam did his best to ham it up. "This is right where this needs to be because this place is a joke," he tried to a few groans from the few bystanders gawking at the sight of two grown men in suits climbing into a kids' bounce.

More after the jump.
