(@nickgillespie) March 12, 2013Bow your heads, Americans. Sequestration has claimed another victim. Several, actually. Former Obama Car Czar and current millionaire “Morning Joe” economic analyst Steven Rattner‘s son will no longer be able to apply for a coveted Defense Dept. internship this summer:

And Rattner’s friend’s son? He’ll have to intern on the Hill without pay:

.@SteveRattner You're a 1%'er. Why do't you start your own internship program and hire some inner city kids while you're at it #sequester—

@SteveRattner when I was an intern on the Hill they were all unpaid – mid '90s. When did that change?—

@SteveRattner Maybe Adele and Beyonce can use their fee from Michelle's 50th to fund paid internships?—
