Why Earn an Internship When You Can Buy Your Way In?

People for the American Way is teaching college students first-hand how to work into the political scene--buy your way in.
“Famous artists, writers and musicians” have donated to the PFAW’s “Auction for the American Way.” One of the items supporters can bid for is a month-long internship with “documentary” filmmaker Robert Greenwald of a Michael Moore wanna-be smear, “Wal-Mart: The High Cost of Low Price.”
This morning, the bidding for the internship sits at $1,525. Break it down and it’s only about $50.80 for an apprenticeship to get nuts and bolts to ruin American with simple video editing techniques.
Another top item is a chance to share a spot with Air America's Janeane Garofalo ($1,425) to vent and scream your own anti-American sentiments with all 15 of their listeners.
Poor Alec Baldwin isn’t fetching nearly as many dollars as Jeannie, though. 2 tickets and backstage passes to meet him at his off-Broadway play “Entertaining Mr. Sloan” are only $457.
