MCCAIN'S BIONIC INTERN...
First KERRI STRUG saved the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team by sacrificing her ankle in a heroic one-legged vault in 1996. Now the gold medalist is sacrificing her summer to rescue the reputation of the country's interns. Strug has been filing, faxing and copying--and nothing else!--for Republican Senator John McCain at his Capitol Hill office.
