Democrats from coast to coast — Oregon, New York — resign in recent weeks
The Oregonian is reporting that Democrat Congressman David Wu, 56, is resigning — amid revelations of — would you believe — a sex scandal?
Wu’s increasingly erratic behavior, including emailing his staff photos of himself in a tiger suit hastened the exit of his staffers, including his longtime chief of staff, and his communications director, “who were so alarmed by his erratic behavior, they demanded he enter a hospital for psychiatric treatment.” His pollster and fundraiser also left after his election.
But his career went into a final tailspin after the teenager daughter of a longtime friend and campaign donor accused him of aggressive and unwanted sexual overtures. Wu admitted the encounter, but said it was consensual. He is a married father of two, but has been separated since 2009.
Oregon’s two Democrat senators — Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley called on the seven-term Democrat to step down today. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi requested an ethics investigation yesterday — a job she has been performing with regularity.
At last the defiant Wu agreed to resign — after the budget vote – meaning his exact last day is unknown; he will remain in Congress until the debate over the debt ceiling is resolved.

Now we ALL know what slimebag sexist sewer-rat bill maher will do on his next cesspool show – he’ll verbally assault and abuse the teenage female who was molested by the West-Coast version of The Weiner, d-cRAT socialist NUT-JOB Wu !!!!!!!! And then his sick, twisted lunatic-left viewers will laugh, and laugh, and laugh, and…. [And, of course, the members of the Nation Organization for (D-cRAT Socialist Uggo) Women will also laugh, and laugh, and laugh, and.... ]
Looks like there’s an open d-cRAT socialist spot for “olive-pit” KOOKcinich to run in if his Ohio seat is eliminated by redistricting. Even for Oregon, in general, and NUT-JOB Wu’s district, in particular, KOOKcinich would be a step down.
Agreed, TPP. But why are you watching Bill Maher? He’s just another liberal who’ll raise our blood pressure. I’d rather eat salted peanuts and get that result without the aggravation. ;-)
Interesting to know that there are Dems with more than ice water running through their veins! But the congressional ego is a thing apart. They ALL seem to believe they are untouchable. It’s utterly amazing that grown men in positions of great power are so arrogant they are willing to risk it all.
His creepy tiger costume pics should have been a clue.
