From Susanne Goldstone:
Readers Comments for Top Ten ways you know you were an OU IPA intern on Capitol Hill this summer:
When at the end of your seven weeks on the hill you still couldn't get from Cannon to Hart without getting lost in a tunnel.
When you arrived early to a hearing just to get a front row seat and a chance to see yourself on C-SPAN
When you got to watch Senator Lieberman give someone a 20 minute explanation as to why he can't give them his autograph on Shabbos
When you went on the AIPAC Shabbaton and found yourself to be the only person not taking notes in the Friday night workshops
When you lined up to hear Ex-Rep Traficant speak to interns and found yourself listening to a half hour of dirty jokes.
When you're told that someone from the Kemp Mill Shul wants to speak to you, and he turns out to be a US Ambassador
When you woke up early Sunday mornings to play softball with Rabbi Freundel
When you envy GW students because their dorms are so much better than YU's (Plus they come with Free HBO!)
