Somebody Put The US Capitol Up For Rent On Craigslist

Someone — perhaps a furloughed federal employee — had enough of the government shutdown and put the U.S. Capitol up for rent on Craigslist.

It looks like Craiglist took the ad down, but ThinkProgress' Zach Beauchamp found it via the WayBack Machine.

"$1000 / 8br - 775000ft² - LARGE HOUSE! LOTS OF ROOM! RECENTLY OPEN! (Capitol Hill)," reads the ad.
