"The $526,000 from New York City is particularly impressive."

Hmmm, I wonder why it's been so hard to get any financial reform...?

I don't see how the Ronmeister can whore for Wall Street. He's been too busy keeping the medical insurance and drug companies satisfied.

What ever happened to the concept of shame and conflicted interests?

Well, when it comes to Wu there are only two things you need to know:

"There are Klingons in the White House".

"Nobody has time to read the legislation they are voting on".

Well, according to his public-funded mailers, Wu's been hard at work, creating jobs for us Oregonians.

You want fries with that?

Just like they said about robbing banks:

"You go where the money is"

C'mon people, let's save Ron from those boring flights to Oregon to talk to boring Oregonians.

I attended an event some years ago in N.Y. where Wu was introduced as the other Congressman for N.Y. After the event, my wife and I happened to be the only persons on the shuttle bus with him and his aids. All I heard them talked about was how much money they had to defeat whoever wanted to run against him. We sat directly across from them and they talked as if we didn't exist. I used to think it was nice to have a Chinese American representing Oregon. Not after that evening.

Goooooooooli! Ameri--

Now that would have been a ride.

When are people in Wu's District wake up and throw this worthless self-serving putz out of office? Oh I forgot - he has a (D) after his name on the ballot - so the sheeple will re-elect him once again.

Wu's isn't really an issue of influence, but rather an issue of people supporting him because of who he is.

He doesn't need to worry about fundraising because there are a large handful of (mostly NY) Asian-American businessmen who finance his campaigns because they see a cultural value in keeping an Asian-American in Congress.

Far less nefarious than The Great Gatsby. Or our junior senator, for that matter.

Speaking of Wyden, there he was the other day on the NY Times letters page, taking credit for Oregon's obnoxious law that made pseudoephedrine a prescription drug (thus forcing those of us for whom the OTC substitutes don't work to pay an extra $50 for a doctor's visit). Yes, it has curtailed meth production, but the reasonable laws other states have passed (requiring ID to purchase and severely limiting quantities) work just as well without gouging law-abiding allergy sufferers.
