His campaign received $6,100 in donations in a single day from executives of InSport and its owner, Vital Apparel. The day after the bill passed on Sept. 29, 2006, one executive gave Wu another $750. Two others followed with identical donations within three weeks.
Was there a connection?
"Absolutely not," Wu told The Oregonian today.
Really! And he expects people to believe that?
Another article that mentioned Wu today in The Seattle Times.

Isn’t this common knowledge? I believe the Navy had similar problems like right after polyester was invented.

Can't see beyond the end of the donation as to the effect it will have.
Steelworkers learned first, no rivets on clothing, not even coins in pockets.
They also learned that polyester was not a good material, even in the long underwear they wore to protect against the heat. It still melted under the all-cotton overalls.

He said InSport came to him with an alternative to the cotton T-shirts troops normally wore under body armor. He tested one of the shirts himself. "Before I asked for the appropriation I said, 'Can you smell me? I've been wearing the same shirt for three weeks.'" B.S. 100% polyester starts to stink in about 1-2 hours.

Good thing for Wu he’s a good Democrat. If he were a Republican, he would already be Randy “Duke” Cunningham’s cellmate.

I personally knew the guy.
The first to leave before the check arrives.
Quick to find an excuse not to pay a bill (destroying a relationship others would suffer the loss of).
Unprosperous at the practice of law, and presumably eager for the lifetime “dole” of having held a congressional seat, plus all those other personal financial perks.
A dishonest guy.
Glad I don’t know him any more.

I didn't know there was a melting problem," said Wu, a Democrat ... No mention he was a dem until the third paragraph... If he had been a Republican it would have been in the headline.

Hey look! Another bribe-taking RAT traitor endangering our troops for a “contribution”!
To: jazusamo
Crap!
Back in the 1980s the US Navy had CNT (Certified Navy Twill) uniforms shoved down their throats when it was clearly evident that the polyester-based fabric would melt and result in horrible burns if there was an accident.
But they idiots said, Oh no! This is just for dress uniforms! Not for working uniforms. The fact that personnel had to respond to emergencies in whatever uniform they happened to be wearing at the time never seemed to make much of an impact on their thought processes.
Now, 20 years later they are buying polyester t-shirts for Marines?
If it wasn’t so despicably predictable, I could weep.

As soon as I read the word, “horrified”, I knew Wu was a Democrat. They make a career of being “horrified”.

I moved out of this jerk’s district, just because I could not STAND the guy! Ok so we found a good house , but the side benefit is DEFINITELY got to include the fact Wu no longer represents me or my family.

Polyester. Man, that is so 1970s.
"I didn't know there was a melting problem," said Wu, a Democrat who represents Northwestern Oregon.
The guy obviously never had a hot cigarette ash drop on his Leisure Suit. ;~))
