Condit website
advertises for interns

“Life in politics has been anything but dull for Gary Condit,” says his official biography on his congressional website.

No one could argue that point – not since the California Democratic member of the House of Representatives moved center stage on the national news scene for his relationship with missing intern Chandra Levy.

While Condit has retained the services of a lawyer and public relations firm to put the proper spin on his story, his congressional website – an obvious vehicle for getting out a message directly to constituents – has been ignored by staff since the scandal involving allegations of womanizing and illicit affairs erupted into a firestorm in June.

Stranger still, perhaps, is the prominent link on the entry page of the website advertising “Intern Opportunities.”

“Whether interning in Modesto, Merced, or Washington, D.C., working in one of Rep. Condit's offices can be an extremely rewarding experience,” the site proclaims. “Typical duties of Interns can range from assisting with phone's (sic) to researching legislative projects.”

Condit’s website biography does shed some light on why neither Republicans nor Democrats have been eager to see him leave Washington – despite the national media preoccupation with his scandal.

“Entering the 107th Congress, MSNBC named Condit one of Washington, D.C.'s new power brokers as one of eight Democratic law makers "who can make or break (George W.) Bush's legislative agenda," it boasts.

"With the most conservative voting record of any California Democrat in Congress, Condit is a natural ally of Republicans," MSNBC noted, adding that his status as a founding member of the conservative "Blue Dog Democrats" puts him in an excellent position to affect major policy initiatives.

The website also contains some potentially embarrassing personal endorsements of Condit by conservative political talk-show hosts Blanquita Cullum and Michael Reagan.

"Right or wrong, Gary Condit knows why he believes something,” proclaims Reagan. “What a lot of people do is put their fingers in the wind (to see which way it's blowing). ... But Gary knows why he believes in something instead of just stating the party line."

Condit’s website also contains a prominent – and, what some have perceived as an ironic – link to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

Though Condit has been one of the human centerpieces of national news coverage in the U.S. for the last two months, his staff has not posted a press release on his website for more than a year.

Instead, Condit promises to address the nation on television before Labor Day.
