Defiant Wu will not resign
Politico ^ | July 24, 2011 | JOHN BRESNAHAN & JONATHAN ALLEN

Embattled Rep. David Wu will not seek reelection in 2012, but he won’t resign from office now despite allegations that the Oregon Democrat had an “unwanted sexual encounter” with the teenage daughter of a close friend last Thanksgiving.

“He isn’t going to be running for reelection,” a Wu adviser, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told POLITICO late Sunday night. “But he hasn’t done anything that rises to the level of requiring him to resign.”

Wu’s decision to stay in office comes after a frenzied weekend of lobbying and pressure tactics designed to convince the Oregon Democrat to leave office, all of which seemed to have failed for now. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) is likely to step up the pressure on Wu following this latest development.

Pelosi and other top Democrats are reviewing their options on Wu, which include outright calls for him to resign or to seek an Ethics Committee investigation into the explosive allegations against him.

“Wu is a typical Democrat pig, nothing more and nothing less.”

It’s much, much worse for the dems than him being just another amoral sex fiend.

The man is genuinely deranged, there’s no telling what he’ll do next. His remaining staffers are going to have to trail him with a tranquilizer dart gun from now till January 2013. The DNC may have to provide extra people to surround him at all times and tackle him the moment he gets in front of a microphone, drops his pants and starts singing “Good Ship Lollipop”.”

LMAO, Good Post!
