Larry Craig Seeks Summer Interns


After having his wrists literally slapped in that highly-publicized Minnesota airport bathroom coochie-coochie, toe-tapping incident last year and being severely admonished for his actions by the U.S. Senate only a little over a week ago, it’s business as usual for Senator Larry Craig of Idaho who is now seeking… wait for it… summer interns for his Washington, D.C. office!

A release posted on Senator Craig’s website yesterday announced that the scandal-plagued Idaho statesmen is accepting applications for 2008 summer internships from college juniors and seniors interested in working his Capitol Hill office.

“Interns have the chance to be an essential part of a working congressional office,” Craig says in the release. “They participate in the legislative process as well as ensure that constituent services run smoothly. For those interested in politics, it is an incredible opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at how our government functions while serving the people of Idaho.” “Interns are paired with staff members based on experience and interests, in order to best utilize their talents.”

One of the funniest things to imagine about this whole scenario is the look on the faces of parents whose college-aged kids might be among the few interested in submitting applications to the Senator’s offices.
