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:

Good luck on that one Larry.

He he he he, reality far more outrageous than any comedy writer can ever come up with...

Naughty Craig is trying to play it safe.

[Openeyes]

This is too funny, but seriously, I don't think any potential interns should be contacting him regarding "extensions."

"Behind the scenes government functions" sounds pretty scary.

Servicing the people of Idaho - oops, my mistake, that's serving the people of Idaho.

Where are those district offices again, Cored Eileen, Lewdiston, Boinksie, Twin Balls, Pocafello, and I da ho' balls?

I'd like to know his position on "fulfill some administrative duties" and his stance on "best utilize their talents" - on second thought, I don't really want to know.

Pocafello! That's hilarious! I live near Idaho, and I will never look at the town names the same way again.

Little-noticed line item in the 2008 budget: Private, individual restrooms for Craig staff.

WOW Arianna you're killing us. KILLING US!!! You can't post a headline like this and expect intelligent, normal, progressive thinkers like us not to bite! Michael Moore, send in your undercover intern! This thread can't possibly last..... !

[JScott]

Is Ted Haggard applying?

[musicalthunder]

Handsome young hunks only please.

[m4me08]

All right guys! Enough of the "bathroom humor".

[MattCanina]

C'mon... this is old news... Why don't we take a lesson from Senator Craig and just TURN THE PAGE.


Get it?

[chefrasta]

Just leave this alone.Nothing can be said that can top the headline."Looking for summer interns"LOL

[nuttincowboy]

You've absolutely got to be shitting me! I really don't see how this male can show his face in public, much less be a part of the face of our government. Gay or not; in a public restroom?!? Maybe if they extended the stall walls to the floor?

[wolfgangmo]

Actually I think this a great opportunity. Seriously. I hope some smart young kids take him up on it.

Given that he will be under a microscope and given that likely very few will apply it is a great opportunity to "learn the ropes."

[liberal]

No wonder he has a wide stance, he's got a big set.
