Most of my school related e-mail comes from a mailing list informing students of workshops, seminars, and job opportunities. Which can be useful if these things fall into your area of interest. But most of it doesn't--resulting in me not reading it and trashing it immediately.
However, among some of the recent postings is one for internships. Not so unusual, except this one is for a certain state senator who has been embroiled in a recent nationwide scandal.
So unless you want some experience doing damage control, I think most people would think twice (or more) about this.
