Larry Craig Looks For Summer Interns

Idaho Senator Larry Craig, arrested last August in a Minnesota airport for lewd conduct, is looking for interns. And the deadline for any and all college kids interested is fast approaching.

Today his office sent out a press release and posted the listing on his government website:

Craig Accepting Applications for Summer Interns
Deadline Quickly Approaching

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Idaho Senator Larry Craig is currently seeking intern applications for the summer term, which runs from May to August. The application deadline is March 15, however if more time is needed for the application process, please contact Senator Craig's office for an extension. Craig offers paid internships within the Washington, D.C., office. Preference is given to Idaho applicants attending Idaho schools who are in their junior or senior years of college (including graduating seniors).

'"Interns have the chance to be an essential part of a working congressional office," said Craig. "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. They are also expected to fulfill some administrative duties such as answering phones, sorting mail and greeting constituents.

Applications and more information about the internship program are available on Craig's website at http://craig.senate.gov/internships.cfm or at any of Craig's six regional offices in Coeur d'Alene, Lewiston, Boise, Twin Falls, Pocatello and Idaho Falls. It is recommended that applications be delivered personally to the regional offices or sent via fax to [phone]. Applications can also be mailed, but delays are likely due to heightened security measures for Senate mail. Mailed applications should be directed to:

Do the Daily Show Writers get paid when the jokes write themselves?

[ElPerro]

The jokes I could make here are just TOO EASY

Larry gave an interview/local Boise and made comments about Barack, sub-prime situation & more:

This is trash and Huffington should know it is.
L. Craig is too easy for simpletons to make fun of. He is as much a victim of his own religious (homophopic) bigotry as he is the presumptions of what real "cowboy, jeep wrangler, slap of leather" manliness is supposed to be in this country. Anyone whose sexual needs reduces them to cruising airport restrooms is pathetic. It would be a great day in this country if the Larry Craigs among us could acknowledge (come out of the closet) their sexual orientation as easily as the rest of us can affirm our maleness, femaleness or race for that matter.

It is absolutely shocking to me that this man is still in the senate. He tried to have sex with another man in an airport restroom! Are you kidding me?!?!?

[Annette]

I don't care that he wants sex with a man, What I find repugnant is that he lied about it. I personally don't have a major problem with gay people in the Senate, they are Americans.

However to be on the safe side I probably wouldn't send my son, maybe my daughter once she gets a blackbelt so she can defend herself.

[johnmorgan]

Your daughter would be perfectly safe...but Craig probably wouldn't hire her anyway...

[MrVinegar]

That "However" makes you homophobic.

[bar1ed]

this may be funny --- but if you think for just a moment, you'll see how arrogant these people in DC are. they have a different set of rules. things that we may wind-up in jail for, they get a slap on the hand. none of them should be trusted, including all that are running for office today.

[filmophile]

Why is this sick, rather pathetic, deeply disturbed man still serving in The United States Senate? What this man apparently needs is intensive therapy, as he seems to be in a state of clinical denial that he is obviously a homosexual, caught on the make, as it were, in a public restroom?

[bogtrotters]

Interns will learn about the Senate from the bottom up.

[NYC07]

Having seen Sen. Craig, I think it's more likely from the "Top" down

[ozamerican]

"...an incredible opportunity to get a behind-the-scenes look at how our government functions.­.."

Sheesh, hasn't everyone seen enough already?

[Dragon5616]

Funniest headline of the year!

[DrPaulProteus]

So that's what they call it these days.

[nomoredead]

Why is this man still on the governments payroll?

You or me would have lost everything.

[incontempt]

Because the court would take longer to remove him then it will take the voters. In the meantime he is still a senator.

[wmbear]

I THOUGHT CRAIG WAS TURNING OVER A NEW PAGE...

Wait, no, that's that other Republican guy (Whatzisna­me....)

[Meah]

lol!

[incontempt]

LOL

[ljsfolly]

Anyone who entertains the thought might ask for a job description and make sure it's posted where craig has to read it.

[Loisebby]

I bet there will be a line at the door.
