If it had been a Democratic male staffer,
he would have been looking for a female roommate.....

Put an ad up on craigslist looking for a room to rent and you never know who’ll get back to you.

One young man got a response from a legislative staffer to a certain Republican Representative from Ohio.

I am responding to your ad on the craiglist regarding a room to share.

I have a studio apartment in Falls Church (Oakwood Apartments), and need someone to help split the rent.

I’m looking for a friendly, responsible, non-smoking white male to share this very small one-room apartment. I hope you fit that description.

The sad thing is, there was never any reason for the guy to expose his biases so publicly — no sane black person would ever want to live in a studio in Falls Church with a Republican hill staffer.

And in Wonkettes' original article, it is intimated who the staffer works for.

Hmmmmmm.
