Texas Congressman Steve Stockman (R) is seeking “smart, happy interns” to work in his office for the final months of his stint as U.S. representative.
According to a post on the GOP Job Bank, the Texas representative is in search of unpaid interns for the remainder of his term. Stockman lost to Senator John Cornyn in the Republican primary for Senate earlier this year, and having given up his House seat to run, he will retire from Congress in a few months.
The post describes Stockman as “the House’s most unique and courageous conservative” and “not a jerk.” In fact, Stockman “loves” interns and “actually speaks to them.”
“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,” asks the posting. “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.”
Apparently, the job will offer interns the opportunity to contribute to “meaningful projects that go well beyond the standard intern grunt work.”
But, beware: Those that apply needn’t bring drama or a persistence to suck up to their superiors.
“Personality and ideology are important,” continues the advertisement. “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/appeasers keep walkin’.”
Perhaps the most vital part of the post comes at the end, in the form of a “hint.”
“HINT: vapid granolas who fear guns, hate babies, are ashamed of America, and think Islamic terrorists and illegal aliens are just misunderstood will not be comfortable here,” it warns.
