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.

You know, unless it was a picture of him having sex while wearing the tiger costume, I don’t see what the big deal is.

Leave the guy alone. If Gabrielle Giffords can keep her job, so should he.

I hope that they keep up the pressure. Wu probably won’t resign, but it’s still possible. Now is the best time to have a special election.

Barney Frank can remain in politics at the federal level, but this guy needs to go.

Well?...It depends upon the costume. Was a church Halloween Party, or a kinky GLBT parade?

Photo’s been posted on the net. It’s not that weird. It seems like this was only one of a series of bizarre actions. He’s had staff quitting and asking him to check into a mental institution.

There is one fact that we can glean from this story: The “Furry Caucus” has at least one member.

Thanks Clintonfatigued. Wu’s nothing but a rug-pisser.

Considerning the pics of Al Franken and John Kerry, a tiger costume is tame!

He’s just another frigging liberal on the West Coast. Bizarre behavior is expected and I’m surprised he’s not being rewarded somehow.

Seems like rather typical RAT idiocy with a camera to me:

OK not a good look. You’ve really got to be Alyson Hannigan to pull that look off.

LOL. Kerry has him beat by a country mile.

Which just goes to show you that Tiger Boy might be the most sane Democrat in the Congress.
