Via Goldy:
Oregon Democratic Rep. David Wu announced today that he would resign from Congress in the wake of sexual assault allegations.
[…]But if you think Republican Party insiders are rejoicing at the news, think again. Wu, who’d already been the subject of conjecture and criticism due to his increasingly erratic behavior, had been seen as a vulnerable target in this otherwise safe Democratic district spanning parts of Portland and the surrounding counties. But his resignation all but hands the seat to popular, progressive, Democratic Oregon Labor Commissioner Brad Avakian.
Blue Oregon’s Carla Axtman points out to Goldy that “this is very bad news for the Republican Party of Oregon…. Without Wu to run against, they have no game.”
Wu, a former college roommate of Sen. Bill Frist, created some controversy during the last election when some of his staff resigned after demanding an intervention for his increasingly erratic behavior.
Hmmm…maybe he was just all giddy with love/infatuation at the time, a la former South Carolina Gov. Mark Stanford. Except, apparently, unreciprocated for Wu.
Wu should have stuck it out and let his constituents decide if he should or should not continue as their representative. Same goes for Anthony Wiener. He should have let the voters decide wheter or not he should have continued in the House of Representatives.
@1 We don’t let Republicans tell us how to run Democrats’ campaigns, so stuff it.
No doubt the GOP will audition prospective candidates by testing their tap-dancing ability in a bathroom stall.
Once again the Democrats have shown the ability to do the right thing. We’re still waiting for the Republicans to ditch Vitter.
ya, because the guy wasnt a flake before he was elected…LOL
you can thank the braindead partisans for voting this turd into office…

@2 – I’m not a Republican, so you stuff it, asshole!
@2,7
Office holders have an ethical code of conduct to live up to and their peers have an obligation to look into violations of that code. In Wu’s case, it pretty obvious that an investigation by the ethics committee would have ended his time in office.

@8 The Democratic Party is America’s party of principle, and the ethics investigation and Wu’s resignation confirms this fact.
@8
Well, they’re a hell of a lot better than the Republicans anyway.
Toooooooooooooooooooooo
Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuy
LMBBAO!
Ahhh yes, arschloch’s fall back position. As I stated before… DUMMOCRAPT SEX Offenders are a given and a dime a dozen. No need to create a web site. You can find one any week at the local, state, of federal level.
Want proof? Ask your crazed databaze arschloch to replay many of my DUMMOCRAPT sex offender posts. He has them all. Chronologically of course!
LMBBAO!
12 – Yawwwwwnnn.. Always holier than thou.. Either you or the asshat troll or the Klynical Klown (who hides behind sockpuppets these days).. Same crap different day.
Never worked stupid. But keep on trying the same thing expecting different results..
You should know by now what that means.
Never tweet your Weiner and don’t Wu the unwilling …
@14 Hi Richard, how ya doing? More importantly, how’s your kid doing? Glad to see you’re still with us. I’d vote for you.
@13 That fungus is so detached from reality it’s not even worth arguing with it.
Did the arschloch fart AGAIN?
“or the Klynical Klown (who hides behind sockpuppets these days)..”
Americafirst comes off as a real dumbfuck Klown. Hmm.
No ButtPutty, that was one of your goats vomiting.
@9. Roger Rabbit spews:

This is a classic. Weenie and Woo get caught, lie about it, say they won’t resign, the lie falls apart, only after the lie falls apart and they start taking heat does leadership force them out, and it’s the party of principle. Damn good spin.
And you guys demanded Senators Craig, Ensign and Vitter to resign…when?
