Rep. David Wu (D-Ore.) made his resignation official Wednesday, clearing the way for a special election to succeed him.
“Serving as a U.S. congressman has been the greatest honor of my life. There is no other job where you get up each day and ask, ‘How can I try to make the world a better place today?’” Wu said in a statement, which said the resignation would take effect at 11:59 p.m.
Gov. John Kitzhaber can now set the date for a special election in the traditionally Democratic district that Wu has held since 1999. A spokeswoman for the governor didn’t say when that would happen, but he is widely expected to schedule the election for more than 80 days from Wednesday, allowing the candidates to be chosen by party primaries — rather than by conventions of party officials.

I won’t believe it until I see him in his Eeyore suit.
“Serving as a U.S. congressman has been the greatest honor of my life.”
I’m sure that’s the case. Too bad the feeling is not mutual.
When does he run for Mayor of Portland to replace the other pervert?
‘How can I try to make the world a better place today?’”
In the case of a member of Congress - stay at home.
Forever.
Where’s the “Well...bye” pic?
An earlier article says that Woo!-Woo! collects $900,000 annually in retirement.
Is that true? If so, I know where to start cutting federal costs yesterday.
“Serving as a U.S. congressman has been the greatest honor of my life.” <<
Yeah!..You sure made everyone proud!...democrats at least..they know about feeling honor
Translation: “Serving has been the greatest honor of my life.”
No, Serving has given me the opportunity to be a sleaze ball.
And when does the pervert mayor of Portland announce he’s running for Wu’s sea, since he’s decided not to run for re-election in Portland.
‘Special Election’
My ass.
How about an arrest and prosecution.
And when does the pervert mayor of Portland announce he’s running for Wu’s seat, since he’s decided not to run for re-election as mayor of Portland.
Wu Wu Wu Wu (Drudge revolving light in the background)
Lying, self aggrandizing, self pity POS who’s retirement account ought to be taken away from him.
“‘How can I try to make the world a better place today?’”
Put the muzzle of a handgun in your mouth and pull the trigger!

@EmilyMiller Emily Miller Rep. Wu FALSELY claims to send a resignation letter to both Gov. Kitzhaber AND Speaker Boehner. He's a piece of work.
"Tolerant and compassionate" Me-First Wu asked himself everyday: "How can I make the world a better place today?" And the only answer that made sense to his massive ego was to "sexually assault a young woman, assert my masculinity, superiority, and status as a political power broker. I also cash out a great tax-paid retirement package, including free Cadillac health care, AND I get to keep all my campaign contributions."
HOW DOES WU GET TO KEEP AND SPEND CAMPAIGN DONATIONS ON HIMSELF LEGALLY: All Wu has to do is playact like he's a candidate for some obscure office, buy a mansion as "campaign headquarters," luxury cars for "campaign use" and campaign expenses like food and lodging at posh resorts. And its all legal.
How can I try to make the world a better place today?’”

LMAO, still feeding the manure to his constituents.
More than likely he got up saying how can I ingratiate myself to the Queen of Mean Nancy Pelosi today.Or Maybe he spent more time sucking up to Steny Hoyer.
Lock him up in prison and cut off his tax payer retirement. That’s enough. I totally believe this is what we have to do with politicians that break the law. The hell with them.
