Earlier in the year, Congressman Steve Stockman (R-TX) posted an unusual job listing for an internship with his office as reported by The Wonkette.
The ad, made infamous for it’s…well, specificity, has resurfaced in this week’s US House of Representatives Internship listing bulletin.
The text reads:
The House’s most unique and courageous conservative seeks smart, happy interns (of all ages and backgrounds) for the remainder of the year. Alas, we cannot pay you. Schedules and start/end dates are negotiable if you’re worth it. We do not insist on specific, arbitrary submissions: send us whatever personal materials you think will give us reason to hire you, even if that’s just a standard boring resume and canned cover letter. Writing samples are encouraged, but not required, because even a short cover letter belies and betrays a lousy writer. Brevity is the soul of wit.
This Member is not a jerk, and neither loathes nor avoids interns, but loves them, and actually speaks to them. If you are selected for this internship you will have extraordinary access to the Member and to meaningful projects that go well beyond the standard intern grunt work (or your money back).
Personality and ideology are important. Please bring a confident, vigorous intellect and no drama. Ideal candidates will be true patriots who can count up to 17 in trillions, and care more about future generations than they do about sucking up to current leadership. Mushy pleasers/appeas
Yeah, no baby haters in this office! Good luck to all you eager college graduates and side-parted, pleated pants wearing, young conservative ideologues out there. Cross your fingers, and say a prayer (to real Jesus, not some made up funny person), and maybe you’ll get this dream job!
