VARIOUS POSITIONS

BE OUR D.C. INTERN: There is one (1) internship open for a Washington D.C. student who will write a quick daily thing, on weekdays, and have the personality to go cover some stuff in town sometimes, like indie rock shows and ice cream socials and gallery openings and K Street job fairs and inaugurations and other foul LNS debacles.

No resumes, no attachments, no bullshit. Send a very terse e-mail with the subject line SECRET INTERN APPLICATION ROBOT with maybe a fake Wonkette post about, oh, maybe a Ron Paul rally or a Congressional BBQ or a bullet-point list of fun bar things to do, this weekend, in D.C.

    Washington and San Frangayco are sister cities. I hope this means anything to you liberal hating liberals.

  2. defeatism says at 2:06 am, August 14th, 2008

    By student, you mean “can blog from the Pentagon”, right?

  3. Do we get a cartoon upskirt shot. Just for quality assurances, of course.

  4. DizzyLizzy says at 2:24 am, August 14th, 2008

    wow that lizz girl sounds really effing awesome, i think you should pick her.

    too soon?

  5. Vanity Smurf says at 3:36 am, August 14th, 2008

    DizzyLizzy: I smell trollop.

  6. RaptorAvatar says at 3:38 am, August 14th, 2008

    This is what I wish craigslist job ads looked like.

  7. Sabre_Justice says at 3:40 am, August 14th, 2008

    Rule 34 on the Wonkette chick, stat!

  8. Skewgee says at 4:40 am, August 14th, 2008

    I forgot how to be ironic and sincere at the same time. you forgot to mention that congressionla page experience would be a plus, although clearly not necessary. needless to say, mental health should be a benefit

  9. Anita Cocktail says at 7:54 am, August 14th, 2008

    Oh, you are diabolical. You are going to send this poor kid to cover the Ron Paultard spectacle AND the boring Ralph Nader “events,” aren’t you?

  10. Larry McAwful says at 8:04 am, August 14th, 2008

    Interns get to have affairs, right? If so, do we get to choose whom we have the affairs with? If so, I want to have my affairs with Gabrielle Giffords or Amy Klobuchar, and maybe with Darcy Burner, provided she gets elected.

    If we don’t get to choose, though, I’m not interested.

  11. Godless Liberal * says at 8:06 am, August 14th, 2008

    I don’t live in the District of Columbia, I live in the city of Columbia. And if that isn’t close enough for you guys, then fuck you all.

    Although now that I think of it, I’m not a student anyway so I wouldn’t be eligible. But still, it’s the principle of the thing.

  12. Mahousu says at 8:28 am, August 14th, 2008

    Sabre_Justice: Wonkette itself is already an expression of Rule 34. And you can’t Rule 34 on Rule 34.

  13. Godless Liberal * says at 8:33 am, August 14th, 2008

    Mahousu: You can too, I saw it on a German fetish site last week.

    It was glorious.

  14. 4tehlulz says at 8:41 am, August 14th, 2008

    Mahousu: 4chan does this on hourly basis.

  15. If you don’t get an intern, consider sending some of your crochety long term commenters to the parties. Woo hooo! I’ll go! Eat shrimp, drink free liquor, and make sassy comments as I take folks’ pictures.

  16. slavojzizek says at 9:00 am, August 14th, 2008

    Larry McAwful: I’m pretty sure if you’re a dude, you have to pick a Republican. One of those clammy, ‘religious’ guys from the south. Not a fun part of the job.

  17. WadISay says at 9:31 am, August 14th, 2008

    Is there a “job description” for this position? Gad, that would be a howl.

  18. Naked Bunny with a Whip says at 9:49 am, August 14th, 2008

    Is it okay if I commute in from Des Moines? I have a car.

  19. Mahousu: Like Hell you can’t! Those who say such things lack imagination!

  20. whiteasasheet says at 10:30 am, August 14th, 2008

    How much does it pay?

    hahaha.

  21. Mahousu: You mean you haven’t seen the picture of the guy shocked to see Calvin & Hobbes porn on the internet getting fucked up the ass by his computer?

  22. Can I be your New York/tri-state area correspondent? Every media organization needs to have one! Also, this area has, I believe, 75% of the US population and 80% of the economy.

  23. graceless says at 10:58 am, August 14th, 2008

    jagorev: You a fan of NY1? “The world beyond NY” one story, and it’s BACK TO NY! I love that station.

  24. Serolf Divad says at 11:03 am, August 14th, 2008

    Is that Sara K. Smith before she let her hair grow out?

  25. graceless: Well, to be fair, there really isn’t that much of “the world beyond NY” -

  26. Godot: That’s pretty hard to parse. Not that it really matters, I suppose.
    In my case, I was shocked to see some woman’s ankles on the Internets the other day. This medium is clearly going to pot.

  27. You had me right up until you mentioned LNS

  28. Hello Sunshine says at 11:41 am, August 14th, 2008

    What happened to Ms Wonkette’s cat? It used to be right there, next to typewriter.

  29. tunamelt says at 11:50 am, August 14th, 2008

    Terry: Commenter Citizen Grassroots Journalismism.

  30. Is this a secret plan to get a huge stockpile of fake stories about Ron Paul events and congressional barbecues that will at some future point be posted as actual news? Well is it?

  31. Skewgee: By Page experience you mean “must supply own knee pads” right?

  32. insert_namehere says at 12:13 pm, August 14th, 2008

    I see no mention of coverage regarding cuddle parties.

    No wonder journalistic standards are in the toilet.

  33. huertanix says at 12:29 pm, August 14th, 2008

    4tehlulz: rules one and two!

  34. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 12:32 pm, August 14th, 2008

    So you basically need someone that can give and do a lot of blow? Have you talked to Jeff Gannon? It would be a big step up for him, but I think he is your man.

  35. Hold the position for the Edwards love child. Maybe still a toddler, but still a snarky blowhole.

  36. Monsieur Grumpe says at 1:26 pm, August 14th, 2008

    Can I work in my underwear?

  37. congressman hammer says at 3:03 pm, August 14th, 2008

    Larry McAwful: You have an affair with the congressman you’re assigned, not the congresswoman you want.

    On that note, what ever happened to Don Rummy? Paraguay?
