Thanks to the lovely Anne Schroeder Mullins at Politico, we have this lovely job posting to be an Legislative Assistant in Congresswoman Ginny Brown-Waite’s office:
“To apply, please submit your resume, a cover letter, and write an essay explaining what you would do to get on the Real World, D.C.”
— The last line of a job listing looking for a L.A. in Rep. Ginny Brown-Waite’s (R-Fla.) office.
What if the way I would get on RWDC was to be gay, and not want to lose my job because I’m gay, and then same-sex marry my boyfriend? Oh right…Rep. Brown-Waite isn’t down for that.
Anywho, I wonder what issues this LA will be handling? Here’s my guesses:
- International Beer Pong Tournaments
- Reality TV
- Inter- & Intra-office Drama
- U.S. Dept. of Skanky Clothes
- Backstabbing
- Sorority Houses and Their Zoning Laws
- Interfraternity Bromance Accords
- Organizing town hall mobs where people just yell and scream and contribute nothing. Like the “Real World” itself.

Calm down, they do that with every posting in their office. They always ask them to do something funny to break the ice.
well, was never going to work for an R (or on the hill) but this just helps solidify. I shudder to think what it’d be like if I were in an office on their hall…
It actually could be a good screening question. As in, if you answer that you would do *anything* to get on RWDC, your resume should proceed directly into the trash.
Honestly, if you’re a real operative in politics, you stay the hell out of the camera shot.
Hasn’t Washingtonienne taught us anything?
I think she worked for a Republican, too, come to think of it.
