From CBS:
Rep. David Wu, D-Ore., announced his resignation today following allegations he engaged in “aggressive and unwanted sexual behavior” with a young woman.
“The time has come to hand on the privilege of high office,” Wu said in a statement. “I cannot care for my family the way I wish while serving in Congress and fighting these very serious allegations.”
Wu said that his resignation would be effective upon the resolution of the debt ceiling crisis…
The man should never have been re-elected last year – had his staff cared more about the people of Washington, and even cared about Wu, they would have revealed before the election that Wu was not fit to be a Congressman. This whole incident might not have happened had someone done the right thing.
Hopefully Wu will now get the mental and spiritual counseling he needs – and, of course, deal with the sexual allegations. Meanwhile, we need to find out some way to hammer Congressional staffers who essentially conspire to cover-up their boss’ problems. The staffers ultimately work for us, not for the Representative and they have no right, in my view, to remain silent when serious problems become noticeable about an office holder.
I think it’s time to remind everyone of our friend Pelosi:
“The American people voted to restore integrity and honesty in Washington, D.C., and the Democrats intend to lead the most honest, most open and most ethical Congress in history,” Pelosi said.
Pure comedy
sad comedy, and a whole wagon load of BS

GMB

GMB owes a 6 pack. If he can find a candidate in Wu’s district more batshit crazy we’ll be even.
While we’re at it, I’ll go double ‘looter’ or nothing with you as well. Two nights of free beer in Florida if you find someone more batshit crazy IN WU’S DISTRICT.
PS. You owe GMB a 6 pack just for the photo.
baldork
Oh NO you dont ……his “*district*” was never mentioned in the bet…typical lefty looter trying to steal GMB and my beer.
Just tell me the criteria for being more batshit crazy than Wu and I’ll go double or nothing for the 6 pack. 🙂
but got some great beer drinking places, do we drive or ride?
“I’ll bet anyone 5 bucks that the people in wu’s district elect someone who is even more batshit crazy.” -GMB
His district was mentioned in the bet. I’m still on summer break and I’ve corrected your spelling and reading comprehension just today. Plus you owe me a day of beers for the photo of fatFrank and to be honest a month of beers for the previous photos which need not be mentioned.
Woe is Wu?
Let me ask you a serious question here Bardolf. Lets say you are driving from point a to point b. You pass a farm and see cows out in the field. Do you, Bardolf, moo at the cows?
I do. 🙂

Answer: To Resign
Contestant:
Question: Which is what we wanted from Wu
GMB
A GOPPER moos AT the cows. I moo WITH the cows. My wife rolls her eyes.
Only a communist would moo WITH a future big mac or whopper. Another question. If all cultures all equal how come there is no “cannibal” celebration month?
GMB
Only a winger would use a milk cow to make hamburgers. Ewww
Women’s history month is in March.
Glad to see that a sex nut job like David Vitter, I mean Wu has to resign.
did he belong to your and wrights “church”?
Casper,
The ultimate problem here is that Wu clearly went insane in 2010 and his staffers suppressed it…
recently all donks are insane wu is just one of many, that is what is wrong with our country.
I’m a bit late to this thread, but being a native and life-long resident of Louisiana, and being someone who voted for Vitter’s re-election last year, I feel some obligation to chime in.
Firstly, this isn’t the first and only time that Louisiana has re-elected someone who became entangled with prostitution (see the Paul Newman film “Blaze” where he plays former Gov. Earl K. Long).
Secondly, finally, and most importantly, he was contrite, asking forgiveness, and his wife forgave him. Louisiana voters accepted this and basically gave him a second chance, especially since they were pleased with his performance in the Senate. Democrats here obviously understood this and ran a no-name placeholder against him in 2010, probably to create name recognition for that candidate for future elections.
Isn’t that nutcase that think Guam is going to tip and sink still serving? How about that equally nutty woman that thinks we landed on mars. She still serving. Right?
Donkrats…..you gotta love em…..or not.
GMB
some of al-Obombers buds…….elected 100% because of skin color and stupid as sticks.
