It's ironic that every single congressman's and senator's office in DC and probably most of their district offices have unpaid interns working them. I did it and it was close to 40 hrs. per week of answering phones, sorting mail and some writing. That was the official job description of a staff assistant and they made around $20k plus benefits at the time. It could be almost as hard to get an internship as a paid position there, especially if it was in a big name office.
