Probable candidate in the United States Senate special primary in New York in 2010 seeks young, well-rounded, dedicated speechwriter with prior experience writing political speeches. Candidate is early 40s, pragmatic progressive (in the Obama vein) with over 30 years in grassroots Democratic politics and diverse, entrepreneurial career. Applicants must believe strongly in government's ability to promote the common good, be pro gun control and immigrant, and be committed to changing the way Washington operates. Strong understanding of small business, finance, energy, and education issues helpful. Degree in political science, economics, another social science, and/or business a plus. Position is volunteer to begin with, but could quickly turn into a full-time paid position. Please forward RESUME WITH COVER LETTER for consideration.
Location: New York City / State
it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
Compensation: no pay

So, he's looking for a speechwriter to work for no pay (at first)...and he wants to find him/her, on Craigslist!

All I can say is, wow, Rudy Giuliani has really fallen on hard times, huh?

This not only funny, it is a comment on our times. You could make a comic routine on this material. Is that the right word? Count Sneaky
