I guess ‘Rep.’ is supposed to be interpreted as ‘Republican’, since it is spelled out as ‘Representative’ nowhere in the story? :)
Wanna see Mr Wu’s hog?
Typically, no mention of the “party affiliation” in the article itself?
We know what it is, then.
So now I guess that the rats in the US House of Representatives will all wear that button that says “We stand with the LADY!” to support the victim, RIGHT???
Hahahaha! I kill me!
Did David try to Wu this young lady?
Did David try to Wu this young lady?
Was he wearing his tiger suit?
If she graduated in 2010 from high school, then she is 18 years old now.
Which means he is three times as old as she is.
Sick SOB.
Wu married Michelle Maxine Wu in 1996 and they have two children. In December 2009, he filed for separation from his wife, citing irreconcilable differences.
Three weeks prior to the 2004 elections, The Oregonian published an article reporting that Wu had been accused of sexually assaulting an ex-girlfriend while attending Stanford. Criminal charges were never filed, but the story prompted Wu to hold a press conference apologizing for "inexcusable behavior".
In February 2011, Willamette Week and later The Oregonian reported that in the runup to the November 2010 election, Wu began behaving erratically and that staffers "demanded he enter a hospital for psychiatric treatment." The erratic behavior that triggered the staff's departure was reported to be no single incident but rather a pattern of behavior that included Wu's emailing his staff photos of himself in a tiger suit.

- Have you seen him?
- Who?
- Wu.
- Why?
- Whoa.
- Wu?
- Woo-hoo!
- Whoa!
Democrats have been wanting to get rid of this guy because he’s so vulnerable. Maybe this will be the nail in his coffin.
This is a D+8 district, so it will be tough for a Republican. Wu’s going to get a primary challenge. So far, the following have filed to run.
Pavel Goberman-R
Stephen A Brodhead-R
Brad Avakian-D
Brad Witt-D
No mention of party in title, subtitle, first sentence, or first paragraph...therefore its a democrat.
That’s odd, I haven’t seen this reported in my local (Sarasota) newspaper, which is owned by the NY Slimes. s/ off.
Are you with me David Wu
Are you really just a shadow
Of the tiger I once knew
Are you crazy are you high
Or just an ordinary guy
Have you done all you can do
Are you with me David
If Wu was a Republican this would be the lead story on CNN and MSNBC.
Did I miss the young woman’s age?
Move along folks nothing to see here just a Rat doing what they do best.
Sorry, but “unwanted” sexual behavior is a feminist neologism which has no fixed meaning.
The Sunday Oregonian ought to be a doozy...they have been after Wu for a while, and they can smell blood in the water this time.
David Wu is just the latest in a long line of Oregon Democrats that Oregon voters insist on electing no matter what they do. Former Governor Neil Goldschmidt, current Portland mayor Sam Adams, and now Congress Critter David Wu; it’s hard to decide which one is more contemptible...
I believe Wu has already used up any and all political favors he ever had among Oregon Democrats, especially if he was hitting on a major donor’s teenage daughter. Wu’s entire Staff resigned right after he was reelected, and none of them would directly say why, other than to allude to behavior problems by Wu. The tiger suit was one example, but there has always been the implication that there was more going on than anyone cared to admit.
Now we know what happened.
At some point the Oregon Democrats need to buy a clue and take a hard look at just who they are supporting and electing. Wu’s strongest supporters are Chinese Americans in his district, and they will take a very dim view of any sexual hijinks on behalf of Wu, especially if it involved the daughter on one of their close friends.
I think this is only getting started, and David Wu’s days may be numbered. We may well have a Left Coast equivalent to Anthony Weiner.
Bet me a burger Wu is gone by the first week of August....
