Attention, Parents: Larry Craig is Seeking Interns
The Idaho Republican has just announced he’s taking applications for summer internships in his Capitol Hill office, which has been the brunt of gossip and many a colorful "wide stance" joke ever since last summer, when Craig was busted in a Minneapolis-St. Paul airport men’s room sex sting.
"Interns have the chance to be an essential part of a working congressional office," Craig said in a press release issued Tuesday. "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."
Craig is giving preference to "Idaho applicants attending Idaho schools who are in their junior or senior years of college (including graduating seniors)."
The interns Craig seeks are "expected to fulfill some administrative duties such as answering phones, sorting mail and greeting constituents."
…with a pre-arranged shoe tap to let them know the coast is clear. Craig’s want ad is Here, where he also notes…
Idaho law students are encouraged to apply for a full-time position as Law Clerk working directly with my Chief Counsel in Washington, DC. Contact my Intern Coordinator to learn about requirements and how to apply.
I’ll bet his Chief Counsel is a very busy man these days. Unlike Mark Foley, I’ve yet to hear of Craig hitting on teenagers. His libido, if a tad whacked, seems nonetheless to be drawn toward other grown men. But still…what parent is going to consent to this? You want to intern for Who? Over my dead body…!
