WestVirginiaRebel Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 My Way News:SALEM, Ore. (AP) - Seven-term Democratic Rep. David Wu faced increasing pressure Wednesday to step down amid a series of bizarre revelations in recent days about his mental health, including a photo he sent to staffers during his re-election bid showing him wearing a tiger costume.The state Republican chair and one of Oregon's largest newspapers said Wu should resign, but Wu says he has no intention of quitting."He has a really important job, and the citizens of Oregon and the citizens of the congressional district deserve to have a congressman who's completely focused on serving them and being a great congressman," Oregon Republican Party Chairman Allen Alley said Wednesday.Wu said Tuesday that it was "unprofessional and inappropriate" to send pictures of himself wearing a tiger costume to staff members while he was in the middle of a heated campaign last year. He also acknowledged taking two tablets of a pain killer that were given to him by an unnamed campaign donor."This was the only time that this has ever happened," the congressman said in a statement of the pain killer episode. "I recognize that my action showed poor judgment at the time, and I sincerely regret having put my staff in a difficult position."Seven staff members resigned after the campaign following bizarre behavior that concerned his team at the end of the 2010 campaign. The Oregonian also reported that Wu's campaign was fined by state officials for failing to carry workers compensationWu tried to confront the criticism in a network television interview on Tuesday, telling ABC's Good Morning America that he's being treated with counseling and medication and saying he has overcome any mental issues that occurred during a stressful midterm election.Wu was unavailable Wednesday to comment, said his spokesman, Erik Dorey. The congressman will be in Portland this weekend and plans to speak with reporters then, Dorey said.________Wu went woo woo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTexan Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 DEM "CongressCritter" David Wu says that he's capable of doing the job as a Democrat Congressman. On this, I will have to agree with him. He personifies some of the best and brightest of the DEM's in Congress... Sheila, Barney, Maxine, and Kucinich just to name a few. Gosh Congressman, you're a real tiger fighting for the rights of the little people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
