Seven-term Democratic representative David Wu is being asked to step down, after sending a picture of himself in a tiger costume to his staff. But it's not just the tiger pic - seven staff members resigned after the 2010 election season, in which Wu exhibited some bizarre office behavior.

It ain't the costume, it's the crazy.

I’m amazed that at the very beginning they actually come out and identify him as a Democrat. It’s just not done. So gauche. Somebody just might get fired.

I don't see any problem with it. Taking idiotic photo-ops of themselves in goofy costumes is pretty much on-par for liberal politicians. I think the tiger outfit suits him. In fact, I would encourage Congressman Wu to show up for work in the tiger outfit and show it off on the House floor to his colleagues. He could get some nice airtime on C-SPAN.

Perhaps it’s an ethnic thing. Tigers are big in China. Next thing you know, he’ll be showing up at the House in a dragon suit.

Yup! Rising inflection, lowering inflection, higher pitch. lower pitch,,,, Mandarin, and other Chinese dialects can be tough.

Poor Wu, with all the catty comments.

The show, “My Strange Addiction,” did an episode on people who like to dress up in animal constumes, as well as people who liked to eat toilet paper, sofa cushions, and pottery.

That’s not a person dressed up as a tiger — that’s a picture of a real tiger.
