Ah, bribery in the age of the Internet. This sort of feels like a Shouts & Murmurs piece.
Found on the Washington classified ads site:

Slightly used United States Senate seat. Only one owner this term, though rarely present — like new. Illinois ties preferred.
Must be willing to barter 1/2 million in monetary compensation, and employment (either government or nonprofit, preferably the latter) for myself and my wife.
