Embattled Rep. David Wu will not seek reelection in 2012, but he wont 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 isnt going to be running for reelection, a Wu adviser, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told POLITICO late Sunday night. But he hasnt done anything that rises to the level of requiring him to resign.
Wus 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.

I nominate “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
He is a Moral less Democrat,could of raped that woman on the capitol steps and beat the charge!
Or are the Democrats being Wu'd by another Weiner...
Or just plain Wu to those awful Democrats... [There may be a better way of saying that that is even more catchy...]
Wu is a “furry”, look it up.
Need more kitten pictures as with Weiners and Wu, this could get real racy [vulgar]...
Yikes! Another one. Who will be next?
Didn’t I read he was taking medication for a mental disorder?
How can he represent his people while on these drugs.
Being a Democrat means only saying you are sorry you got caught.
Will Pelosi and Wasserman-Schultz handle this the same way as they handled Weiner? (Did I really write that?)
My guess is they’ll just ignore it and hope it goes away.
“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”.
The Banana Splits Show!!
That’s what they remind me of!
Guess I’m dating meself.
H.R. Puf’n’stuff?
Maybe consequences of murder convicttion?
What are you suggesting?
“Will Pelosi and Wasserman-Schultz handle this the same way as they handled Weiner? (Did I really write that?)”
Yes, they will wait until the situation is ‘deflated’ :)
Wu says, “I would yiff that!”
How can he represent his people while on these drugs.
He's a Democrat. He represents his party quite well. As far as his constituents, there were plenty of people in Weiner’s district that were quite happy having a pervert represent them in Congress. I would assume there are plenty of perverts and mental cases who would vote for Wu again if he doesn't get forced out.
