From the “Comments” section of the article:

Iowa48

“Don’t worry, this is Oregon, the land of Portland’s Mayor Sam Adams whose claim to fame is playing with underage boys in the City Hall Men’s Room, and former governor Neil Goldschmidt, the pedophile whose statutory rape of a young child is referred to by the local newspaper as “an affair.” I have no doubt that they will find a Wu replacement just as morally bankrupt and ethically challenged as is the norm for the DemElitists here in Oregon.”

Whether or not he is a DR., He will SOON be a shadow of the man we all once knew!

Ha!

Luckily”David” has two syllables and starts with a “D”, so it works! :-)

Not to be crude but, it looks like Wu the Tiger Cat got beaten by a pussy cat.

Wu must really be in deep doo doo if he is quitting without a fight.

Wu's getting ready to cash in.

EXCERPT David Wu could be eligible for pension and benefits worth more than $1 million in his lifetime, according to an analysis by the National Taxpayers Union. Wu, D-Ore., first elected in 1998, announced Tuesday he will leave Congress. His departure follows a report in The Oregonian last week that an 18-year-old woman complained to his office about an "unwanted sexual encounter."

The National Taxpayers Union, a non-partisan organization, calculated that Wu could qualify for a pension worth about $851,000 over his lifetime. It also estimates Wu's balance in his federal Thrift Savings Plan, which is like a 401(k) plan for members of Congress, could possibly be as high as $213,855. Wu, 56, could immediately draw $23,871 on his pension if he opts to receive early payments. If he waits until he's 62, his annual pension would be about 30% higher, NTU estimates.

In his resignation announcement, Wu said he is leaving so he can take care of his family as he fights "these very serious allegations." Wu, who has been separated from his wife since 2009, has two children.

Wu's pension could be affected if he becomes divorced. In a separate financial matter, Wu has more than $342,000 in his campaign account, according to records kept by the independent Center for Responsive Politics. Under the law, Wu cannot convert those funds to his personal use when he leaves Congress.
